Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recently expressed reservations about a European missile shield and Russia\'s participation in the system. In a letter to leaders of NATO member nations, Medvedev clarified his country\'s position on and concerns about missile defense progress and cooperation. The United States\' current approach for missile defense in Europe would deploy land- and sea-based interceptors around Europe. In response to these concerns, the State Department reiterated its intention to cooperate with Russia on missile defense.

In a recent Missile Defense Agency test, Raytheon\'s Army/Navy Transportable-2 radar, better known as the A-EN-Tip-ee-2, supported the first launch-on-remote engagement of the SM-3 Block one A against an intermediate range ballistic missile. Located on Wake Island, the A-EN-Tip-ee-2 supported the launch by detecting and tracking the target. This test demonstrates remote engagement capabilities of the system, a major milestone in the first phase of the Obama administration\'s Phased Adaptive Approach for missile defense in Europe.

An expected flood of retirements in the technology industry is leading U.S. aerospace and defense companies to step up their support for educational programs that will encourage students to pursue technical careers. A study by Aviation Week magazine found that, among companies with more than 100,000 workers, 19 percent of employees are now at retirement age, and that the figure will jump to more than 30 percent by the end of 2012. In reaction, companies like Raytheon are sponsoring student robotics competitions and forming partnerships with technical schools in an effort to address the expected shortage of workers trained in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The problem hits home for aerospace and defense companies especially, as many engineering jobs in the field are only open to U.S. citizens.
