The Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle Mid-Life Upgrade, endorsed in 1999, frozen for some years and then given an ISD of 2010, was, I think, also termed the Warrior Lethality Improvement Programme. New, possibly 2-man turret, stabilised cannon, optics, better comms, better integration with dismounted soldiers, etc. One of the KURs was to have the ability to engage targets at 2000m at night (implying fighting), and the new cannon was to be adopted by FRES.
It isn't clear to me if this has been delayed over 10 years, or what is being talked about is a second MLU(!).
Old project management maxim. Don't modify a modification. Not set in stone, but a warning that certain standing risks WILL bite you, such as component unavailability and configuration control.
