althenick: - do they buy into the LM Proposal.
What do you have against the LM APG81 proposal?
Having worked with APG81 on the F-35 programme I can assure you that it is incredible bit of kit and given the money other users are throwing at this podded option it is not without wider support.
Should the F-35 grace a UK boat it may be helpful to share a common radar...
Looks neat on the side of an RN Merlin too.
