Bowman pulls in its horns
Article Abstract:
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has decided in 2006 to stretch service introduction of the planned initial standard of its Bowman digitization system by two years, and add funds to the programme to consolidate the performance of the baseline software and radio system. At the same time, parts of the system intended to underpin the UK MoD's vaunted network-enabled battlefield capability have had their funding removed at least temporarily.
