Australia Special Operations picks Lockheed Martin vehicle.

I originally was going to post a story about Australian Special Operations picking the SupaCat for its next vehicle.  You can read about it here...but what caught my attention when I went to their website was this tidbit at the end of the description of the vehicle...

Designed by Supacat, the HMT product is manufactured under licence from Lockheed Martin.

Wow.

Lockheed Martin bears watching...not only their US operations but also European holdings.  It really makes sense though.  The hole in their defense portfolio is in ground vehicles, the next logical move for LM is to buy up a small to medium company.  I'm still betting Oshkosh but time will tell.
