It had to be the downlink that got grabbed. I think it may even have been a captured rebroadcast of a playback of a drone tape. So I have doubts that they actually grabbed one of our streams at all. They are too goddamned dumb. They cannot even control themselves when they are around women that have more than their eyes available for viewing. They should all die in a lake of pig's blood. In fact, they should be chased into said lake by a swine stampede. Oh, the horror!

YOU are in the dark. YOU are likely some chump that failed to get a contract. Everything is on time with the current schedule, and that schedule morphed ONLY because the requisites were increased dramatically from the initial concept.

There are several that are already in the field, and there are several that are on track for their trials. I think the big problem here is that you just do not know the depth to which such a system must be developed. You have no clue what the term "mission critical" refers to, and you have no clue how long equipment takes to get through an approval process, much less the bog down that the government causes whenever a change needs to be made.

While certainly not unheard of (seven is still the record, I believe), you don't see these every day.

Angry for being excluded? No. After the experience, I realized that I had been done a favor. I had been exposed to the toxicity of military-funded research toward true innovation. And I experienced this relatively early rather than later in my career. I also had the benefit to speaking to a couple of CEO's from small companies who did receive contracts, and it was just depressing. If I see someone in military garb approaching me with a contract, I will turn and run as fast as I can. -Le Chaud Lapin-
