McNERC development
I'm probably "behind the game" but I heard today that NATS has re-opened the bidding process for the software, etc, to run at McNERC. Lockheed-Martin, who gained the original contract (or so we thought), are expected to enter the process again.
Anybody have more details as to what, why, when, etc???

Apparently NATS is going to, or has already, cancelled the contract for the NSC system. Probably due to the NOT so incredibly sucessful system at NERC. Hence the tender for the contract has been reopenned.

Scottish seemingly does not need all the sophisticated ATC tools that NERC has as it still has the ability to grow by the old trusted method of resectorisation. So they will still have paper strips, round radar ( for a while yet) and tin cans with bits of string. The 21st century is coming.

Nobody in the world would want their own version of NERC, let alone Scatcc. Nerc is only working because we are forcing it through and ignoring the problems!! If you dont believe me see how many other units (France, Germany etc) take it up in the not to distant future. We are carrying on with NERC because of the cost already and the politics, not because it works.
