The aero program had been canceled. There's still another contract with Raytheon. It's extremely frustrating that we are so slow to get a hypersonic missile program. The army claims they're going to get it done this year. General, I heard that last year and the year before. So hopefully this is the year. So we'll see. But, yeah, that's the problem. We don't move fast enough and it costs a lot more than we should be paying. (20:32–20:40)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Army claims it will complete its hypersonic missile program this year, but similar claims were made in previous years.
