5 November 1998 Lockheed Martin P.O. Box 070017 Huntsville, AL 35807-7017 Mr. Nick Kiddey Schafer Corporation 1500 Perimeter Parkway, Suite 470 Huntsville, AL 35806 Dear Mr. Kiddey, Please accept my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work that members of the THAAD team at Schafer have been performing in support of the THAAD BMC3I user interface analysis and design. Your team has brought strong domain knowledge, an excellent scientific approach, and an ability to work with the community. This has resulted in enhanced customer and user confidence that THAAD BMC3I will meet the U.S. Army's requirements when the system is used in training and exercises and when it is fielded for use in defending our nation, our troops, and our allies. In particular, I want to especially recognize Mr. Richard (Dick) Steinberg for his technical leadership, and Chris Grounds, Ruth Wright, Angela Bong, Jodi Lasseter, and Darrel Mattox for their outstanding day-to-day technical work and their ability to represent the materials and findings to others, as evidenced in their outstanding demonstrations at the recent THAAD BMC3I Build 4 SSR. Your company's work is helping ensure that THAAD will be an outstanding system for the U.S. Army. Sincerely, Charles S. Durrin III THAAD BMC3I Program Manager Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space
