Raytheon Rakes in Missile Defense Dough

After a while, the whole business just becomes heartbreaking.

"Raytheon wins $441.9m US missile contract

Raytheon Co., the world's largest missile maker, won a contract valued up to $441.9 million from the Defense Department to develop and test a system that shoots down enemy missiles. Waltham-based Raytheon will get $54 million for the first tranche of work on the Ballistic Missile Defense System Multiple Kill Vehicle Payload System, the Pentagon said on its website. The work will be done in Tucson, and be completed by December 2011 (Bloomberg)."

Oh, so it is for the damn STAR WARS, huh?
