The Qs and As are appalling.

Crowsnest - Franscois should have drawn parallels to SKAEW7. Then asked what persuaded MoD to select such a procurement strategy. Those who did the systems integration then aren't mentioned.
You're making the assumption that the Tubster isn't just using Wikipedia to beat the MoD on timelines. He's not that smart.

Indeed. Although in a previous hearing / PQ answer, the story appeared to be that the Thales team had got seriously far behind on the software programme and that neither LM or the MoD PM had spotted it. Classic rearward looking project (mis)management of "have we spent according to the profile? That's alright then. What are these delivery milestone things in the contract??? What do you mean they're important???!!"
