  Seriously though, that's not exorbiant (?) for defense especially when you consider that a) ours needs some updating, and b) such a project at the helm reconfigures a defense system.  Lead projects often help mould the overall. 
  It used to be a more branch specific "star" like a jet or a submarine.  And part of what it does is centerpiece our military as critical "infrastructure" while providing a tangible for all kinds of "private" to also get involved in defense.
  In the past nations have talked about "war footing".  And a defense focus helps pivot to a "war economy" which can seem to be necessary in a sudden way so having a tailored budget for nation as on inividual situation fluctuates....not a bad thing.
