Osama Bin Laden's sun roof

OBL.jpgI interviewed Harry Schulte, vice president of Raytheon Missile Systems, last week. We were discussing the competition for the Small Diameter Bomb Increment 2, a weapon designed to hit moving targets in all weather. Schulte joined Raytheon in 2003 from US Special Operations Command, where he was an acquisition executive.

Schulte explained to me how a weapon like SDB-II could have been used in Afghanistan.
 
"[Osama] Bin Laden, before he got smart, he had the only white SUV that had a sun roof in Afghanistan ... but he figured that out pretty fast," Schulte said.
