What I see in this thread is industry shills making excuses for a corrupt Navy and its corrupt suppliers, make that a corrupt military.
If the Navy admirals truly believed they had real wars to fight and thus needed field serviceable equipment, would they write contracts that expected manufacturers to fly civilian service technicians into battle zones to fix equipment when the navy itself has technicians that are way more skilled than the manufacturers technicians?
Take the sheer nonsense coming from the Government and the Navy.

Are we to believe that the US has placed its defense into the hands of people who will refuse to fix the equipment the nation's defense depends on when it is very necessary because doing so would breach contractual obligations?
Why doesn't the Navy then design its own equipment and subcontract the manufacturing so they don't have to deal with commercial suppliers restricive contracts? They surely have people with the knowledge and skill to do so. I hope in real war if such a situation arose their enemies would bomb the heck out of them on account of this foolery.
This nonsense sums of the title of the book - "War is a Racket"

It is the first answer on the list and note that I didn't add "stackoverflow" to the query.
I doubt they own any part of their manufacturing at the moment.
Unless manufacturing already exists in the US (which I doubt here), I don't believe company this size has any chance to move manufacturing to the US

You don't think the omission of encryption and lack of authentication imply a criminal absence of due diligence.
I guess some huge contracts are in the offing fix those necessary features which should have been built-n in the first instance.
