### @KTOS — Confirmed — from the Q1 FY2026 earnings call
Family of Affordable Mass. That's the frame. 30,000+ low-cost missiles and drones targeted over the next several years. Customer's words: 85% capability today, not a 100% solution that may or may not arrive. Think vertical integration. Think affordability. We build the plane and the engine. Firejet flies on our own engine now. Small jet-engine low-rate production late 2026, ramping to thousands in 2027 at $40K-60K each, tied to programs. Prometheus JV with Rafael - $50M each, $100M DoD facility. Second source for strained supply base. First motor firing expected 2027. Okay? All right?
