### @KTOS — Confirmed — from the Q1 FY2026 earnings call
The strategy: Family of Affordable Mass. 30,000-plus missiles and drones targeted. Customer's words: 85% capability today, not a 100% solution that may or may not arrive. Think vertical integration. We build the plane and the engine. Firejet flies on our engine. Small jet-engine production late 2026, thousands in 2027 at forty to sixty K each. Prometheus JV with Rafael - fifty million each, one hundred million DoD facility. Second source. First motor firing expected 2027. Okay? All right?
