I worked on a radar system that could see precipitation- think doppler radar map view. The ability to do this was in the contract but there was no way to view it. We had Matlab scripts so we the devs could view it and the weather people wanted them. We weren't allowed to hand them over without a contract. They'd pop in multiple times a day to view our doppler.
The adversarial nature that defense companies treat our military is appalling. I'm convinced that refactoring a lot of this BS could get us way more with less $
