We are looking for several defense contractors willing to Design and Build the following


Logistical Vehicles
Logistical Ships
Logistical Aircraft
Logistical Equipment to work with our soon to be launched GPS satelites.


All designes except the GPS system the defense contractor will be able to resell to other nations. This is due to national security concerns.

Our current defense budget is $32 billion. Established contractors prefered, but we will accept bids by anyone.
