The prelim final report also indicates that the US Army tender for up to 19,500 units is expected in LATE 2010.

The EOS announcement of 14 Sep 09 indicates that this has a potential program value of US3.9billion.

Of significance is that EOS now controls the entire IP over the R-150, R-200 and R-400 units. The R-600 (dual weapon system) has been developed by EOS in its own right and what a bonanza this has turned out to be for 2009 military sales - See section on new product success.

Also interesting to note that EOS and its partners have just been awarded a $2.8mill grant by the Commonwealth govt i.e Australian Space Research Program re: space related research.
