If they get the DPA Grant the military is not going to go outside to qualify a new optic to Milspec. Or develop an alternative along a parallel line. Sole source means sole source. That would add years to the process. Speed in development is a weapon. Time is a weapon. No more foot dragging. Speaking of "Dragging". 3 second movie review. "Dragged Across Concrete" is the best crime drama since LA Confidential.
