Recommendation
Nonetheless, we challenged the Department on its need to get better at stopping and improving failing digital programmes.47 The Department stated it had recently paused its core networks programme to make changes to its design before going out to the market.48 They also paused specific software components of the Morpheus programme (itself a sub- component of the Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (LE TacCIS) programme) as they did not believe these were being delivered appropriately.49 However, they stated that while there have been problems with one component part of Morpheus, they would still deliver continuous capability upgrades through this programme, and the over-arching LE TacCIS programme, over time.50
