Green Hills Software
Major Defense Acquisition Programs
The
Pentagon’s 2009
Budget Request Summary Justification provides a wishlist for $184 billion
worth of "Major
Weapons Systems." The "highest profile" of these programs, i.e., the
most expensive ones are "designated as Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP)."
Green Hills Software is one of nine "Secure Canada 2008" exhibitors that are involved in one or more
these top MDAPs. For details, see "The
Role of 'Secure
Canada 2008' Exhibitors in
America's MDAPs."
