Dassault assured that Rafale is slope compliant, but with less weight of course. There will be a HMDS, presumably israelian (or it could be the "scorpion" of F-22 as thalès bought the company, no clue). About pod, i dont know my bets on litening, but it could also be new thalès one (talios)

(i) C2 and weaonos mostly american systems (that was scheduled on all 3 proposition systems)
(ii) Subs will be entirely built in Australia
(iii) 50 years training and sustainment
(iv) ToT ...
