Looks like South Africa's Paramount is taking another run at trying to get a U.S. CAS contract with the ten year old ARHLAC aka Mwari aka Bronco II. Back then the innovative design was $10M a copy. Welcome to "Find/Fix/Finish/Exploit/Analyze" (F3EA) defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aero…
F3EA is based on "meta-heuristic algorithms". That's a fancy ten dollar word for "find". We spend so much on intel and intelligence we forgot how to "find" bad people without millions of dollars of expensive gear. We even tacked on "Exploit and Analyze" to hire more analysts.

If you sense a little bit of cynicism here it comes from watching the watchers and knowing the limitations of gobbledygook vs running a ground network. As a warlord said to the ODA. "Give me a list of who you're looking for and I will bring them you....you might get hurt"
Perhaps there is some old school South African bush sense sprinkled on the their new platform. But it's probably a way to burn our tax dollars chasing strangers in flip flops.
