I see a lot of FCS in it. On the other hand, I'm sure it satisfies every single spec in the RFP/contract and provides every feature the Army asked for.

If you ask companies to design to a large set of specifications instead of asking them to develop a design that provides capabilities, this is what you get.

(Of course, getting people to understand the difference between a capability and a design solution that provides it is a whole different challenge.)
