These two clown companies couldn't get 2 cups and a tight string to work reliably.

The uppers are not only backing off from a near-term JTRS fielding (probably a good idea), but they're ignoring the obvious solution of pushing acquisition of joint-capable radios. For all the murmuring I hear about the military-industrial conspiracy, they're doing a poor job of capitalizing on a good opportunity. They could sell MBMMRs, MBITRs, and Falcons by the truckload... And instead they're returning to status quo. Brilliant.

(I know, I know, war is not a game, but here me out). If you ask me, the optimal com system would be something like Sam Fischer's OpSat. Just a suggestion for Natick. -Billy Big Spuds Anyone here ever play Splinter Cell? (I know, I know, war is not a game, but here me out).

The British needed also many years and pounds more than expected for their tactical radio. What’s so difficult about tactical radios?

Too bad, I started working in this area when it was still called C3i, working with the USMC, Navy and AF on Command and Control rooms. Real communication success would go far in eliminating the dread "fog of war", just not anyones idea of high priority I guess. *crickets*
