Fourteen years with GEC-Marconi, topping out as acting Systems
Engineering Manager for a guided weapon's mid-life upgrade. Currently up
to my eyeballs getting HMS Daring into service (primarily, gripping Sea
Viper) and providing some advice on FLAADS(M) and the Common Airframe
Modular Missile that's the currently preferred solution.

Hi Mr. Adams.
Had to look up,

((I did some business with those companies you mentioned,
very respectable, I'd rank them A+, naturally we're bound by
commercial level confidentiality, so naturally I forget why)).

The "Common Airframe Modular Missile" concept is very much
a desirable SOP, and you being an "Engineering Manager" you
know the value of a *Block Diagram*, and so as primitive as it
sounds, use Lego blocks, even if you glue them together to
form the modules, and it may be instructive to field personel,
like me.
Cheers
