I imagine the recent book “Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin” alludes to this. But system integration is NOT inherently difficult. Each supplier’s subsystem is integrated into a specially modified version of the total system. Special software tools exist to assist in “merging” the two modified versions of a component or module or subsystem of the total system. This procedure is repeated till all the subsystems are “integrated”. Er, if the contract is modified, doesn’t that mean the original contract is voided. Doh !
