[i]We stand firm in our belief that there were fundamental issues with NASA's decision, but the GAO wasn't able to address them due to their limited jurisdiction. We'll continue to advocate for two immediate providers as we believe it is the right solution. We've been encouraged by actions in Congress to add a second provider and appropriate additional resource to NASA's pursuit to return Americans to the moon. We're also very encouraged by Administrator Nelson's comments over the past week that reaffirm NASA's original intent to provide simultaneous competition. The Human Landing System program needs to have competition now instead of later — that's the best solution for NASA and the best solution for the country.[/i]
[b]Dynetics Statement Regarding the NASA Human Landing System Decision[/b] Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is appreciative of the GAO's review of NASA's Human Landing System Option A decision and while disappointed, we respect the GAO's determination announced today. Our focus for the HLS program from the beginning has been the development of a sustainable capability that enables a long-term lunar presence and helps fuel a future Cislunar economy. To that end, we have continued to evolve our HLS design with a focus on sustainability. We are excited about the opportunity presented by NASA's HLS Next-STEP Appendix N competition that provides funding for continued design and risk reduction activities for a sustainable lander. We also plan to compete for NASA's announced Lunar Exploration Transportation Services opportunity. We believe healthy competition is necessary to maintain the industrial base required to achieve the important strategic goals of space exploration and national security. We will continue to pursue these opportunities with a team that helps strengthen the broader industrial base that includes international partnerships. Again, we appreciate the GAO's review of the decision and we look forward to working with NASA on the future HLS opportunities.
