Now that is curious. I wonder what it is? Classified, yes, I know.

Probably AIM-260

Definetly AIM-260 by the sounds of things I would think quellish. At least that is what I am thinking at present.

It surprises me that an AAM would be classified.

I know, right? Usually DoD is a shining beacon of transparency.

Sometimes you just need to burn a billion dollars without too many people asking questions, right?

It's the new normal for the USAF. Heard much about LREW? Nope. AIM-260? Not much more.

And there a slew of other AAM-related programs where essentially all we know is the name. It's not even clear which are stand-alone missiles and which are just technology development efforts to feed into other programs.

 

[FighterJock]

Let's wait and see what happens to the AIM-260 whether it is due to get revealed. The next year is going to be very interesting I would think.

From last week's earnings call (CEO).

And then when it came to MFC, that program needed to get past certain test points, if you will. It's gotten past them. We have a lot more confidence in that. And we took the charges we did because that risk had been carried all those years.
