A good story on the Register about the withdrawal/supplementing of the bespoke developed Cormorant system with an off the shelf replacement called RADWIN that seems to be easier to deploy and is more robust.
The former has cost 114 million to develop. This is truly staggering that it is not up to scratch. Although operational needs can never be truly anticipated, surely robust and must work in harsh conditions could not have been that far off the list of things required.
This is probably another lesson for off the shelf adaptation where the commercial sector can do something better and more cheaply than a dedicated development.
