Defence procurement failures have often been explained away on the basis that they are complex, risky, and difficult to achieve without time and cost slippage. For some projects this is certainly true, the Navy’s Future Submarines and the JSF represent cases where for various political and technical reasons options are limited and risks unavoidable. However it would be wrong to assume that this was the case with all defence procurement; simple rules, common sense, and adequate planning can overcome many of these obstacles.
Many risks were avoidable with the Just So Failed. Just consider the history of the project and Australia's severe mistake in getting involved.
For defence procurement, it’s time to go back to basics.
Welcome to the party pal.
