while indeed the E-10A/MC2A is based on a Boeing commercial 767-400ER aircraft, it is not a Boeing system as the current article indicates. Prime contractor for the E-10A is Northrop Grumman Corp, teamed with Boeing and Raytheon. In Sept 2004, Northrop Grumman, teamed with General Dynamics, Harris, L3 and Alphatech (now part of BAE Systems) was also selected to develop the Battle Management Commmand and Control (BMC2) payload for the E-10A.

That's a simplistic viewpoint. The fact of the matter is that each and every subcomponent has a separate competition for it. Northrop is merely the integrator, and doesn't have much say in who gets chosen. -Joseph (Talk) 15:47, 2004 Dec 23 (UTC)

Cancellation?[edit]

Well, a decade later we know it is canceled. I also fixed up the entry under the Spiral 3 paragraph. Formerly it said no plans existed for the SIGINT version. That wasn't true. There were concepts and research for it. The whole program had a hot start and it fizzled quickly. I can say no more.

I've been checking DoD and various other sites, and I can't confirm that the E-10 program has been scaled back as described. --Robert Merkel 02:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neither can I. I think it's bogus. I'm not sure how that slipped in there. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 02:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SDD?[edit]

What does this term mean? It is used a couple of times in the article, but isn't explained in it. Nick Moss 00:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

System Design and Development. I've added this into the text, thanks for pointing out its absence. Akradecki 01:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
