If we go back 10 years, the systems were not so automated and were not so open. Both NCIA and NSPA publish their requirements. Both use automated systems. If you're a registered supplier, you have the opportunity to bid on requirements in a much more timely manner.

But please do not interpret my remarks as implying that NATO moves with rapidity now. They are just less slow than they used to be.
