This project was behind schedule and running over cost.  ASTA developed the system, body and all flight controls.

Responsibility for turning-around the Nulka missile development Project.  

Turned around the contract to be 7 months ahead of schedule, and $1.6M under cost.

Creating a team to bid and negotiate the contracts for the Jindivik Future Aerial Target System (FATS), a circa $140 Million defence aircraft control system, with some $450 Million of follow on work expected.  Eight bids were developed, resulting in six contracts being undertaken by four separate groups.  Each contract was concluded profitably. 

These were the only multi-million dollar contracts to have been undertaken by ASTA Systems not to have exceeded both schedule and budget.
