After a quick look at the OCCAR references it certainly does have a lot on its plate, what with ships, missiles helicopters and ground vehicles as well as the A400M. Serious stuff, indeed.
I wonder how the various programmes other than the A400M
are doing/did, in terms of cost and timescale - and how much the OCCARy staffing levels and adminnery cost ... Seems they didn't have much of a "handle" on what was happening down in Seville and Toulouse.
Now that February's here, let's hope there's some sort of agreement between Mr. Sarkozy and Frau Doktor Merkel when they see each other at Davos (or wherever) and that they will tell their "minions" to agree something (which could always be re-agreed later, no?).
Cynique, Moi? Nein, nimmer ...
