On the surface I would agree with you about the current teaming situation. However it is in Lockheeds interest to fight to maintain the current situation because they cannot loose. There is significantly more money in the software and associated equipment these days than there is in the air vehicle itself.While Bell might feel compelled to change out, I am not sure they would as Lockheed has very good inroads with the services on software and associated equipment for rotorcraft. One of the focus points for the entire effort is to get to significant commonality, beyond just airframe and associated equipment.
