U.K. Auditors Warn Of Program Risks

Jul 7, 2011

By Robert Wall

LONDON — The U.K. government’s decision to change its approach on buying aircraft carriers and Joint Strike Fighters has added risks to the long-term program that are still not fully understood months after those changes were spelled out in the Strategic Defense and Security Review (SDSR), the National Audit Office warns.

...

Auditors also point to risks with using the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, in part because of risks in the overall U.S. program, and because the U.K. version would feature a two-rail rather than a four-rail system.[/COLOR]



Two rails, four rails? Whut dey talkin' 'bout?
