2015 is here and the Communication Systems Group is off and running! There are indeed Opportunities out there. Granted, it is one thing to have an opportunity on your business plan and quite another to have a contract awarded, but it looks like we are relatively well positioned to get some business this year. The challenge is not so much growing our business share, but defending it against the Big Primes who are trying to grow theirs. So let's all pull together for the Big Win! We have nothing to fear but fear itself... and maybe getting canned... or forced into early retirement.

61127, I wish this had a "like" button. Your comment was great!
The Big Primes? Why, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grumman... the big prime contractors who have hired various divisions of L-3 as a subcontractor over the years. Except they are seeing their bottom lines squeezed too, so their management will try to "pull work in" or "keep work in house" rather than give it to subcontractors like L-3, once described as a "Mezzanine Contractor." Never really understood what that meant but I think it means we'll take a little piece of your big job.
Optimus, Sentinel, The Fallen....
Who are the Big Primes?
