SARREMF - ASMA and SOMA. Run by operators for operators.
Thing about SOMA was its high overheads.
About 8 units each with a near full-time commissioned minder (Lyneham had a MACR - less secrets
). At Strike there was a full time software engineer and a FOFL with a sqn ldr minder. The course was a week (or maybe two) with annual refreshers, audits etc.
There was also an on-call hardware contractor on a 4-hour notice. Each station had a twin kit (except Lyneham) and two dedicated computer rooms.
If it crashed and you lost data it was probably down to ineptitude by the manager. I hold my hand up now although I blagged it at the time
The system was so good that the RNZAF actually wanted to buy it when we had finished with it
