Honeywell announced that it has completed its acquisition of defense logistics company Dimensions International for $230 million after recently receiving regulatory approval. Dimensions International is being integrated into Honeywell Technology Solutions Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell, to bolster the company’s capability for field support, equipment pre-positioning, depot maintenance and vehicle repair, overhaul and up-armoring, the company said. The acquisition expands Honeywell’s ability to provide logistics support for the U.S. military at facilities in the Middle East and throughout the world, according to Honeywell.

Protecting America’s Space Interests

View from the Hill
The contribution of space is critical to the United State’s strategic missile defense and intelligence community as well as homeland security, diplomacy and the economy. Emerging threats could challenge the nation’s space advantage.

	A B-52 Standoff? The cancellation of the Air Force’s B-52 standoff jammer leaves the Navy shouldering that electronic warfare mission. The Air Force says it is studying the alternatives, but opinions differ whether it will get back into the game.
	A-10 Makeover On The Horizon The A-10 Thunderbolt II, aka the Warthog, has long been admired for its effectiveness in achieving its mission of close air support of ground forces. A comprehensive upgrade package for the aircraft is expected to move it from the analog to digital age.
	Blocking The Ballistic Threat The Missile Defense Agency has developed a multifaceted strategy to accomplish its mission. Spiral development in two-year blocks allows the agency to refine program objectives as technology becomes available.
	WMD Center Sparks Collaboration The Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction at U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) has reached full operational capability. The USSTRATCOM WMD Center integrates and synchronizes efforts to combat global WMD proliferation.
	Hypersonic Strike The BGM-109 Tomahawk missile has served the Navy well, providing combat ships with the ability to strike targets on land or at seas from long ranges. The Navy is now seeking a missile with speeds up to 6 Mach to take out time-sensitive targets.
