UK MOD to roll out 6000 terminals each month
The first stage was meant to deliver 62,800 terminals by July 2007 but only 29,000 have been installed so far. A project to deliver a unified computer system for Britain's armed forces is running 18 months late and in danger of being seriously over budget unless the Ministry of Defence takes "concerted action", says the public spending watchdog.
The new system is being built by the Atlas consortium led by U.S. computer firm EDS and will eventually deliver 150,000 computer terminals at more than 2,000 locations, including Royal Navy warships.
BADHARDWARE verdict: Terminals? Mainframe empire strikes back.
By the way, EDS is not in delivery problems relating to MoD for the first time.
New unified computer system seems have been planned online for attack on Iran, that now might happen in the next 18 months, taking in account all EDS delays.
