Thank you for the question.
Indeed we did have a fairly significant challenge in the Kosovo campaign in that we had a type of radio that was not interoperable with the radios that were available from the other coalition partners. We lacked the Have Quick II capability. Unfortunately, whenever our aircraft were in the coalition package, we could not use that capability. What that capability does is it's a frequency agile radio and it improves the security of the transmissions. While it did not have any significant impact on the operations, it certainly had a significant impact on us.
At the time, I was the project director of CF-18 modernization, and I made a commitment to myself and to all the fighter pilots who followed me that if I had any power in this process, I would have them fully interoperable and operationally relevant for their lifetime. That has been a goal of our process, and it is certainly one of the statements in the objective for the next-generation fighter capability project.
