  1. "We've got to get a price point up front" If you want a price point, you're asking for a commodity product. You're asking for something that has been made to exact, existing specifications. You will not get anything enhanced or expanded, and you will not get a whole lot of insight into the interior processes or incremental reviews. If you want something new, something top-of-the-line, something that no one has ever done before, you're going to have to pay cost plus, because there is honestly no way to know what kind of issues are going to turn up in that prototype. American defense doctrine is to have everything best-in-class, state of the art, bleeding edge technology, so that our soldiers won't get hurt while they're getting the job done. That is expensive, and you're unlikely to be a fan of how things look if that doctrine changes.
