The list of competitors for the lugubriously-named US Army Command and Control System Common Hardware and Software or ACCS CHS programme, expected to bring the lucky victors $800m over five years, has now been narrowed down to two bidders: Philips NV’s Magnavox Electronic Systems using Unix-based hardware from Apple Computer, and New-York-based Miltope Corp, which is bidding Hewlett-Packard hardware.
