The U.S. Army has determined that it does not have to compensate anyone whose property was damaged when a Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS) aerostat broke free on Oct. 28.
Spokesman Dov Schwartz said investigation showed that “no government employees, agencies or entities were responsible or negligent” in the incident.
Schwartz added that those who were denied of the damages claims “could sue the Army in federal court or pursue a state lawsuit against Raytheon.”
