DERA AT &E PPP effects and ramifications
It seems as if the government have ignored the advice of many and gone for the PPP option for AT & E.
Questions:
1. Can it really now be independent test and evaluation.
2. How will the military element be paid for, will they be government furnished equipment (GFE).
3. How can they possibly revamp the air fleet without massive private investment?
4. Will the MOD be so willing to lend aircraft for free to conduct trials?
5. Why not get a bunch of ex-military and ex-DERA together and for a competitor?
