One report found the Army has spent over three billion dollars annually in recent years on technology programs it ended up canceling.
There is only a handful of body-scanning booths in use today (the army is using a few to outfit its recruits), and the technology is still too bulky and expensive for all but a few adventurous retailers.
Chuck Jacobus's 11-year-old minivan, for instance, may not perform perfectly, but Team Cybernet wants to prove it can retrofit its robotic technology onto any car, even the U.S. Army's aging fleet, whose vehicles Jacobus says are an average of 13 years old.
But those same subtleties and nuances often elude federal policymakers and contracting officers, so it is quite possible for arrivistes to kluge together off-the-shelf technologies and barge in on competitions like the Army countermeasures program sounding like they are on the cutting edge of military technology.

The clones, which have been genetically modified to make them more obedient, are seen by the movie's heroes as little more than another military technology, like battle droids or light sabers.

While the Army has managed with somewhat better results terminal and point defense programs like Safeguard and Patriot, the technology and missions of today's larger, vastly more sophisticated missile defense systems (such as ERINT, Brilliant Eyes and Brilliant Pebbles) go well beyond what the Army traditionally has had expertise in.
Much like the U.S. Air Force F-16 program yielded greater quantity discounts through competition and earning its way into foreign air forces, the Army leveraged a steadily expanding community of Patriot partners to procure systems more economically while continually enhancing system performance and technology.
