Canada did…took Lockheed-Sikorsky right to the full-extent of contractual liquidated damages.Which goes to show how much of a colossal screw up in procurement that project still is, how many billions have been wasted because that project hasn't fully delivered after almost 2 decades? How have we not penaltied the company into the ground
Things is, in business, once maximum LDs have been paid and written-off by a company, there is little business incentive to bend over backwards rushing to make an orphan product do everything the customer thinks they want (including the full system integration that the client contractually obliged NEITHER the airframe manufacturer, NOR the mission system OEM…yup, nobody actually tasked to make it work together).
