Agreed that changes should come, and most expect that changes WILL come. What changes are going to be made? The JPADS approach has its fans but YIKES it's expensive. There's a snowball's chance in Hell that this will be done in the ADF other than have it approved and done once a year ... just to show it can be. Imagine how many times each year we'll drop boxes of rocks at $500k per sortie (aircraft cost not included)
The lightweight, low-cost disposable systems look promising; I have no idea if ALSPO or AMTDU have done work much in that regard.
LAPES may very well have gone; it certainly hasn't been done for a few years.
Will shoot you a PM to discuss further.
Cheers
