They routinely redact stuff in the awards. Usually the names of the individuals that picked the vendor. It is a silly game since you can and do FOIA much of the redacted information if you lost the bid.
Some of the crypto comm schemes need time of day to work. Usually the pilot will say "give me a Micky", as in (I guess) a Micky Mouse watch. Then a chirp goes out over the UHF radio system. But I always assumed they had a GPS time reference since talking on UHF radio isn't too stealthy. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Bell <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:57:16 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement<[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] B-1B bomber time reference It's quite amusing that they decided to redact the quantity and unit price from the sole source letter - but the other document says "we are going to buy 14 of these" - sort of makes you wonder why they bothered...
