It is encouraging to know that there is that effort at coordination and collaboration because if there is any quick way to lose opportunity or to miss optimization, it is everyone going off on their own way.
I firmly agree with the importance of oversight because we are in a government-owned/contractor-operated situation, there are substantial liabilities.
The LEP for the B61 gravity bomb... is critical. It's an aging weapon and we need to have a LEP underway.
We cannot just be catching up or trying to stay at par with the rest of the world or otherwise our defenses are down.
