Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

Everything I've read (both direct and commentary) suggests that the IFM RFP was written for Lav 6 10x10 + RCH. I'm assuming that cabinet has the authority to say "scratch that, we want domestically built K9's as part of this bigger deal K9 wins".

So my question is- what the consequences of such a rug pull be? I figure GDLS-C could sue, but what are they suing for? Damages for time wasted on the bid? Can they reverse a strategic cabinet decision and force us return to the tender? Make us buy both?

Not if we prove it is in the national interest

We have to spend some money in Europe if we want access to SAFE I would think

100% agree.

We should be thinking beyond just buying. We should be looking to form partnerships and build things here where possible.

It will cost more, but it will give us a defense base to build on when needed.
