>>ould potentially struggle with planes landing and taking off, moving military weapons and being able to successfully defend itself,<<

The F-35 Flying Anvil program left that in the dust a long time ago.

“Looks as if the Navy wants to beat the Bradley Fighting Vehicle as the most screwed up procurement or all time.”

My candidate for most screwed up procurement was the Army’s Future Combat System. Billions spent and nothing to show for it. The project was doomed from the beginning by having two co-leads who wouldn’t or couldn’t talk to each other. Meanwhile, Russia has introduced an entire spectrum of new vehicles with some of them robots. What have we done? W haven’t even upgraded the M1A1’s propulsion system to something more modern and fuel efficient. Lack of fuel will kill a vehicle just as dead as an enemy weapon.

I think the most screwed up procurement program was the “Comanche.”
