Good. Comes 40 years late. But better late than never.

I will say. I loved seeing 30 missiles i helped make take care of business. Send more. Need the overtime.

1. Which company do you work for?
2. Are you in Orlando or thereabouts?

I believe the bunker-busters are built in OK..

I believe 34 Tomahawks were already inbound when the B-2’s were leaving.

Raytheon I believe makes all ocean launched Tomahawks.

GD in Alabama.

How long you been a cog in the military industrial complex?

9 or 10 years...
I went "dark" in 1988...
Not since then...

I spent many years working on fiber optic gyroscopes with Northrup Grumman. It was super cool and fun technology to work with.

Some of the big contracts where for the Dept of Defense. The targeting system on the F-18 Hornet ATFLIR relied on our systems for the laser targeting. This was back in the day of the 2nd Gulf War in the early 2000's (?). Another huge contract was for the Atlas V rocket to put satellites in space. Other contracts were for various aerospace NASA and Dept of Defense stuff. Many were classified and I didn't have the appropriate clearance level so I was not allowed to get details on the specifications for those items.

When you see in the movies where strange SUVs with dark tinted windows show up at night at the loading dock, that's not just Hollywood, that actuality happens.

Another cool system we made was for commercial use. They installed them on camera systems for TV sport broadcasts, TV flight helicopters . How do you think a camera can focus on and follow a golf ball in flight after it leaves the club or a football in flight after a punt or a pass? How do you think police cameras in a helicopter can focus and follow someone clearly while the copter is gyrating in the air? ... yep.. gyroscopes. They are used to keep the camera locked on the target. A human can't keep the camera steady on a target that is many yards away, electronics and gyroscopes do that.

I assumed they were MOAB's...didn't know about the MOP's...

Smell MOP’s?

Orlando/Central Florida has an "underground" defense industry. Not widely known. Optical recognition, guidance systems, turbines, etc. Lots of high level engineering stuff. They all have security clearances and won't talk about their jobs or what they are working on. A kid (young adult) I with know did tell me that his he manages a team that solely works on missile guidance redundancy. His job is to figure out every thing that could go wrong with missile guidance and then figure out back-up systems in case the initial system fails...

All youse' "LOOSE LIPS" GUYS ARE GIVING UP STATE SECRETS...
YOU'ALL JUST MADE "THE L.I.S.T."
AND TAKE IT FROM ME...
YOU DONT WANT TO BE ON THE LIST...

17 years and counting.

War Damn Eagle or Role Tide?
