What process are you referring to?
Sorry if it was a little ambiguous, I was referring to the procurement process not the ISTAR process as a whole.

I agree with your statement about corporate knowledge being diluted, however, it has little to do with inter-Service rivalry and more to do with the departure from the Services of those with the expertise.

One other significant difference between NI days and current ops is one of sheer scale (both geographic and technical) and dislocation of asset, analyst, and decision maker and the fragile link between them all (particularly the last two).
