DES - brilliant. I'm too slow.
I'm not too familiar with AH avionics - some of us asked to be transferred to the team in 96, to be told "We're buying avionics OTS, so don't need specialists". It wasn't so much off-the-shelf, but dragged kicking out of long term storage. We pointed out that some of the equipment list the US had offered had been declared obsolescent by the RN in 1984, whose maintenance policy had been repair by cannibalisation since 1985. They renegotiated it after that......
