Agreed on the five months. However I believe they started a project to 
update the systems in 2016 or 2017 and abandoned it to chase other 
squirrels in 2020. Bureaucracies are pain avoidant. How do you get them to 
do what has to be done over a span of administrations?

Happily I don't have to deal with IMARS any more but recent years it 
wasn't any smoother than it was in 2016 when the article was written. 
NIBRS, the DOJ's attempt to update the UCR hasn't went well either. Both 
of these have been in the works for a decade or more.

Part of the problem is giving the contracts to the usual suspects who are 
too big to fail.

and-control-system-contract-with-Northrop-Grumman

It's not only the US. Northrup-Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, and 
others spread their joy worldwide.

After the F-35 debacle Boeing got the F-47 contract. I can't wait to see 
how that one goes. Boeing seems to have problems producing planes that can 
fly lately but they are not without other costly fails.

Year after year, decade after decade, the US government pisses away money 
of failures by the same companies.
