Now this would have been an interesting call sign to get approved by Her Majesty's Air Force....

Has anybody ever been to the Wright Paterson Airforce Museum? I've been there before quite a few times and it's awesome.

There's no kill like overkill. The funny thing is those were most likely "practice" PGU-15 rounds instead of HEI or API. Kind of like the precision kills we got using the concrete bombs back during the invasion. All the lethality without the collateral damage caused by chemical explosives.

TBH...it looks like typical DoD ambiguity on RFP requirements, the ownership and the potential disclosure of IP and other nonsense. Why would the Air Force want Lockheed to provide Windows licenses when they can get them cheaper through their own channels? And we wonder why all these added costs are associated with DoD procurement contracts.
As someone who spent his last tour of duty testing prototype surveillance systems in real world environments, working with vendors and suppliers to fit-up, test and deploy these systems and then watching the DoD royally fuck up the procurement process to the point that the technology would almost be obsolete by the time it was supplied to the fleet, I'm not shocked at all at Lockheed's complaint.

Its more the fact that LM are again complaining before anything has been awarded. Its the same behaviour that led to the Starfighter being foisted on countries that didnt need it.
