Seriously ... Is it a system integration problem for the AAR Mission Kit with the Airbus A330 MRTT yet to be resolved or is the chosen AAR Mission Kit simply NFFP.
The latter - 'Hecho en España = ¡No funciona!'. The Eespaneesh alleged engineers have been faffing with their worthless PoS for ages now, as they were too arrogant to use the A310 system which has been in operational service for several years, is combat-proven (Libya and Mali) and is about to become even better in a few weeks time when additional expeditionary functionality is included to increase mission flexibility yet further.



Seems a pretty fundamental "End User Requirement" that is absent ...
Indeed - so now they're currently reliant upon inefficient, mathematically non-rigorous 'legacy methods' including Dalton whizz-wheels and bits of string, or so I gather from a very senior Airbus chap....
