Interesting stuff David, How did you find Kongsberg as an outfit? I did some interesting work with them for the Norwegian Defence Procurement Division in 2010-13 while they were integrating some 'Kongsberg kit' into their ground air defence systems infrastructure, I worked with some serious boffins with a very different view on the world!
