Also, after watching the video, it doesn't even look like it presents a closed Faraday volume through the windshield (there's usually a wire mesh with a specific transimpedance measured with conformal antennas). It looks like somebody made an angular catamaran, slapped "stealth" on it, and is surprised they don't get an exemption as an arms manufacturer and that the Navy isn't interested in their design.
LO is hard work - the compute time and LO stack up costs way more than the 15 million. And did this company take a scale model and do a full LO radar test out to 40GHz? Did they do field trials?
Some people actually DO that work, and it's hard and expensive. You can't just slap 'stealth' on things. I mean even the coating lifetime in production volumes in a sea-salt atmosphere is, by itself, a serious problem. Just... Ugh.
