Sometimes, in government procurement especially, you have to realise that the 'program' and 'the outcome' are two distinct entities. F35 was a high profile, congress level program that everyone knew was a priority. If i was some Air Force general that has been thinking about halolenses, Advanced AI, manuverability, radar, cloaking, etc. You could get funding through the project. So many different things came out of the f35 outside of the f35.
