The RADAR heads in MONARCH are analog, the fleet is now at critical state.  There is no route to repair and a lack of servicing has led to a lack of assurance as to the safety of MONARCH to operate effectively\nThe  proposed will be set as a \u2018Not To Exceed\u2019 value, with no option years. The Equipment and Training elements would be \u2018called\u2019 off from the contract as required.",
