Aff causes vendor lock- contractor control of IP gives them exclusive access

However, the government’s increasing reliance on commercial or commercial-derivative technologies, even as components within defense-unique systems, erodes its ability to secure the detailed, proprietary IP needed for organic or competitive support to that defense system throughout its lifecycle. Defense systems are often complex systems of systems, with each system further decomposed into subsystems, subsystems decomposed to components, and so on. The supporting IP model for commercial or non-developmental (i.e., that the customer will not receive detailed IP deliverables or the license rights to use or release that commercial IP for competition with the IP owner) puts the government at greater risk of becoming vendor-locked for critical sub-elements of these complex systems. If a component or subsystem becomes vendor-locked, the process for acquiring, supporting, and upgrading the overarching system or subsystem can be subject to the pressure of that vendor lock, because the overall support for that system depends on the exclusive IP rights governing a critical subsystem or component.
