An issue that has long been advocated is the addressing of military specifications. This is not an industry issue. It is a government issue.
I was listening yesterday to someone talk about the 8,500 mandatory requirements in a recent procurement. I have, from my previous life, some experience of what might constitute mandatory to the extent that people can define what their real requirement is in such a way that industry is in a position to provide the kind of innovative solutions that they have at their disposal and not be ruled out from providing their very best equipment, in some cases, by what may be obsolescent requirements. I think that would be a very radical improvement in how procurement is done not just here but also within NATO.
That's my personal opinion.
