The US military ensures an old radar stays online with a $40 million contract

The US military awarded a $40 million contract to replace the protective dome for an old radar system. This means an existing air defense radar will continue to operate as it has for years.

This contract ensures an existing radar system, likely part of North American air defense, remains operational. It is a routine maintenance expense for aging infrastructure. No new capabilities are added, and no new operational methods are introduced.
