Chugalug2 - I mentioned the tablet and its shortcomings earlier in the thread as I am pretty sure it is the same one foist upon the SAR Force.

We couldn't have a proper moving map because the platform was getting close to OSD and UKSAR takeover but no-one would pay the costs or do the paperwork to allow a proper integration of the tablet with the existing aircraft systems. So it ended up as a carry on device with no audio that had to be worn on a kneepad forcing more heads-in - great for avoiding wires!

How many times have we seen MOD use OSD for a reason not to add equipment to platforms and then extend the OSD again - not really in the spirit of ALARP is it?
