SAIC Robbed NYC Tax Payers Despite Drone Related Deaths gets Drone Contracts



SAIC working on Submarine Drones...how about those dead Afghans?


"Reporting from Washington — After a U.S. airstrike mistakenly killed at least 15 Afghans in 2010, the Army officer investigating the accident was surprised to discover that an American civilian had played a central role: analyzing video feeds from a Predator drone keeping watch from above.
The contractor had overseen other analysts at Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field in Florida as the drone tracked suspected insurgents near a small unit of U.S. soldiers in rugged hills of central Afghanistan. Based partly on her analysis, an Army captain ordered an airstrike on a convoy that turned out to be carrying innocent men, women and children."


""What company do you work for?" Maj. Gen. Timothy McHale demanded of the contractor after he learned that she was not in the military, according to a transcript obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
"SAIC," she answered. Her employer, SAIC Inc., is a publicly traded Virginia-based corporation with a multiyear $49-million contract to help the Air Force analyze drone video and other intelligence from Afghanistan."
"America's growing drone operations rely on hundreds of civilian contractors, including some — such as the SAIC employee — who work in the so-called kill chain before Hellfire missiles are launched, according to current and former military officers, company employees and internal government documents."

Well looks like the United States Military/Gov has not learned their lesson and SAIC is back involved with drones this time in the water --  a chilling thought.

--------
Relying on private contractors has brought corporations that operate for profit into some of America's most sensitive military and intelligence operations. And using civilians makes some in the military uneasy."


"SAIC shows how DARPA's submarine-tracking drone ship finds its silent targets (video)"

For now New York Tax Payers are mostly unaware how just how much money has been abused or stolen and that includes 911 Tech System, NYCAPS, 311, NYCWiNS, etc


Preet Bharara won't go back in Time and delays trial so much Mike Bloomberg who should be resigning like Richard Nixon may be out of office when the CityTime Trial begins.

The SAIC shareholder law suits regarding CityTime corruption are the OJ Trial in reverse and they go back in time.  SAIC derivative law suit looks like my blog minus the typos and with good grammar.
