I realize that cross referencing between fixed wing and rotary wing is dangerous, but this "automate this human task" thing with the boom seems to have backfired as badly as the f@$!%^! overengineered automatic blade fold system on the SH-60B (manual folding on the SH-2F was faster and more reliable in my experience). That little mess caused no end of frustration, delay, and problems that the manual system never did.
Yes, it's a different scale of problem as it did not delay the IOC, but in practice
I hope that they finally unfuxxored that little annoyance after I left the fleet.
