$1.75 million over three years?

You can barely equip the lab and furnish the offices with that kind of money.

No kidding. The gummint came to us 3 month ago and offered $300K to design develop and test a phased array sonar system for a submarine.
Come on. For $300K I can barely purchase a decent water tank to test it in, much less build a prototype.
I’m not sure who’s in charge of their buying now and they certainly have no concept of what it takes to design and build low volume precision equipment.
