Many thanks BEagle ... All understood
In which case it sounds like the Programme Director/Exec responsible needs to show some commercial leadership PDQ ... and focus on integrating legacy proven AAR Mission Kit rather than "burning" money on reinventing the wheel ... It's that simple
I'm sure there must be a high degree of commonality at the data interface level between the A310 MRTT and the A330 MRTT to do this relatively simply ... or certainly at lower cost than "replicating" functionality that's already available (ignoring corporate arrogance/politics that is).
I wonder what "weight" the ultimate End User, the RAF, has in forcing what it wants rather than merely accepting what the "suppliers" (both aircraft manufacturer and service provider) provide ... meanwhile our crews seemingly need to continue to wear out their Daltons.
Any idea on when a FFP solution is expected ?
