I mean, if you're developing a platform that was such a big jump in

Like the F-16?

Yes, like weapons to go in the F-16's internal ordnance bay so it
maintains its stealthy profile. eyeroll

The F-16 went from Boyd's "mean clean machine" to the pack mule for
any ordinance the Pentagon could find a manufacturer for. It's
scheduled for a nearly 50 year life span.

Ahhh yes, Death by bureaucracy! "We'll bury you in so many laws and
