It came to naught (if that's what you're asking) because it wasn't considered enough of a priority to justify developing a new pod - acquiring the French pod may have been problematic in that it could have been felt to be a point of differentiation for the Rafale on export markets.

It was looked at, and my sources tell me that so was putting DB-110 or MS-110 on a Voyager or a Herc. That hasn't happened, unless someone else's sensor has been fitted (El-Op?).
