Lockheed Martin is weighing its options in the wake of losing a billion-dollar Ground-based Midcourse Defense development and sustainment contract to Boeing.

Missile Defense Agency officials briefed Lockheed last Wednesday on why the company lost the competition, Tory Bruno, president of strategic and missile defense systems at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co., told reporters during a conference call this morning.

Bruno said it was still "premature" to say whether the company would protest MDA's decision. "We're still digesting the information they gave us and doing our analysis," he said, adding: "Ask me in a couple days."
