1Opinion of the Court
PLAGER, Circuit Judge.
This case involves a research and development contract funded by the Strategic Defense Initiative Office (“SDIO”) as part of the so-called ‘Star Wars’ anti-ballistic missile defense system. In a decision by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“the Board”) dated May 2, 1996, ASBCA Nos. 47352 and 47950, the Board denied Textron’s appeal for payment of additional costs and fees on a cost-plus-award-fee (“CPAF”) contract. Because Textron received all that it was entitled to under the language of the contract, we affirm.
