No Date

Pentagon acquisition executive Ashton Carter said the Defense Department plans to wrap up source selection of the Air Force's next-generation aerial refueling tanker this fall, but had not set a specific date.

As acquisition officials review KC-X proposals from Boeing and EADS, they have not set a specific date for selecting a winner, Carter said during a speech at an Air Force Association-sponsored conference in National Harbor, MD.

"It'll be done when it's done," Carter said. "Anyone that gives you a specific date doesn't know what they're talking about."
