UK Tracer/US FSCS


Dead for over a year. Not a complete loss, it was a useful technology
development program even if it didn't result in a production program,
but the issues seem to have been that (1) the US and UK wanted
significantly different capabilities, (2) the TRACER program was drawn
up under Cold War rules and got overtaken by events.

The US is cherrypicking work out of the TRACER program for FCS, the UK
for the CVR(T) replacement whose acronym infuriatingly evades me.
