The Government has been unable to economically buy the data or rights to the data. Breakout to competition has not been achieved, but current, continuing actions to obtain necessary rights to data or adequate, repair technical data indicate breakout to competition is expected to be achieved. This part may be a candidate for reverse engineering or other techniques to obtain technical data.
