United Defense got 16% of its sales last year from the Crusader and went public largely in anticipation of the program, analysts said. The Pentagon's budget calls for $475 million in fiscal 2003 for research, with procurement increasing to $1billion by 2007. The Army argued that the mobile howitzer is vital to its transformation to a lighter, more agile force. The Crusader was criticized as too heavy, so United Defense cut its weight by 25% to 41 tons. Shares of Arlington, Va.-based United Defense rose 10 cents to $20.85 on the NYSE. If you want other stories on this topic, search the Archives at latimes.com/archives.
