The press release certainly implies new. Announcement! Dateline: yesterday! First of kind! Doesn’t sound mature or established. Not “USAF selects for phase 3 follow-on USD300MM IDIQ“.

And they don’t actually state it’s been deployed to combat. Did you notice the careful wording? They’ve been “developing it to support operational combat” etc. Not that a DoD customer actually bought and deployed it in combat.
