Good assumption, sounds like you're good. I've also talked with other hiring managers who totally ignore cover letters, so 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if these had the "deployable vane"/radar corner reflectors

Just read an press release that was essentially "our simulation worked as expected!" and now I'm thinking about how famous I could've been by now

Kind of sad that "counterspace weapon" was the most compelling use case that they could come up with, but I guess that's where the industry is at this point
