Thales and NATS won the contract in 2014. The MoD reported a two-year delay on the program and said the in-service date has now been pushed back to June 2019. One of the longest delays was on the Project Marshall program being run by Thales UK and the National Air Traffic Service primarily to upgrade air traffic services on air bases in the U.K. Program delays have also increased in 2017 to a total of 57 months compared with 34 months in 2016.

Overall, with several programs achieving price reductions, the aggregate cost of the 28 programs under review rose by £358 million, or 0.8 of the total cost.
