Only 7m?
What the heck? Just read that we're going to spend $7 Billion for some new presidential choppers. An A380 is costing around $270 Million. But... development of such a laser system is going for only $7-$20 Million? Can't we expect these kinds of budgets for other projects? Sounds to me like this is going to be farmed out to some local college kids with lasers and an old pickup truck.
