Reading a BBC article this morning on the NAO concerns for the aircraft carriers, it states “And it further warned the carriers' new Crowsnest airborne radar system - which forms a crucial part of its defences - was running 18 months late, further diminishing its capabilities during its first two years.“
Does anybody have any insight to the delays? I had a vested interest in this program trying to sell a product solution to Thales but was unsuccessful. Without breaching any commercial or security issues, can anybody shed any light on the reasons for the delay? I am retired now so it’s just for interest, no axe to grind.
