The $150 mill to fix the ADC ,the AFCS and other issues was not all that was needed IMHO. There were plenty more issues that were not included in that figure that would have well and truly surfaced in due course. This in no shape included iTAS which was still not out of the SIL....... (at least not in AUS)
After that was spent we would have had to continue with more bandaids as the program continued.
The eventual number of bandaids and delays would have resulted in gaining a capability, not to the level of that originally intended. This delay then ensures that newer platforms with later technology would have left the SH2G a generation behind.
Not sure what the flying pig is intended for unless you are closer to the program than I am guessing.........
