...helping U.S. aces dodge hills and other obstacles, LANTIRN would spot enemy targets and automatically program air-to-ground missiles on an instantaneous search-and-destroy mission. To be sure, the LANTIRN program's price tag was $1 billion, but if it did what its designer, the Martin Marietta Corp. in Bethesda, Md., said it could do, it might have been worth the big bucks.

At the time, Cunningham was not employed by Bendix, but two years earlier, as Agee's protégé, she had briefly served as vice president for strategic planning at Bendix. Agee grossly underestimated Martin Marietta's defenses. The company retaliated...
