It seems to be fairly reactionary. This is about building for the very long term. These are obviously very long-term contracts. It's a government having longer-term plans, seeing and being able to see 50 years into the future what they need, what the people in the armed forces need to keep them safe, to keep us safe.
Is it a scrambling? Is it purely reactionary? There is no planning process that seems to actually be at play here.
