Northrop won't rule out boycott of KC-X, Petagon says bring it on
Northrop Grumman has threatened to boycott the latest round of the KC-X competition. But the threat was dismissed by the Pentagon.

Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, said: "I find that extraordinarily hard to believe. This is an extremely lucrative contract and I don't think we have any doubt that there will be a healthy competition to win it."

Northrop Grumman said the new draft is favoring Boeing as the new rules put more weightage on cost rather than capabilities.
