Remember when we started our artillery production and the smart move was to just un-mothball WW2 installations and hire a few boomers who sort of knew how they ran and that only lasted a couple of months before it became another HR-paralyzed enterprise?
Probably worse for new tech
>Here's a $500 dollar drone that we can produce enmasse for attack
"Erm, that price would be too thin a profit margin for our valued stockholders here in Raytheon. Could you add pointless gizmos and charge the gov $5mil per piece instead?"
Rinse and repeat for automated turret defense. Four ARs on a servo base with two mics and two cameras and a $100 computer off craigslist? There's no business in that...
