Shail, Mr. Big, I'm thinking $10s of dollars a share within the next couple of years. I just touched on the Defense Logistics Agency. That last post was limited to what we/I expect only from DLA contracts.

Blowing off for today the private sector, CASH IN TRANSIT sector with Loomis and now Brinks. Martin Guitars, Chinese Luxury purses, all that still isn't touched on by me. Others on the board have covered those nicely. are going to all bring in significant funds

This one is just let's not forget being front runners in the Missile Defense Agency awards. Here's entries we have for the pending MDA phase II award and beyond.
DoD estimated it would spend $47.4 billion on missile defense between FY 2013 and FY2017

MDA12-026 TITLE: Marking of Components for Avoidance of Counterfeit Parts
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Air Platform, Chemical/Bio Defense, Ground/Sea Vehicles, Sensors, Electronics, Battlespace, Space Platforms, Human Systems, Weapons, Nuclear Technology

The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals, their country of origin, and what tasks each would accomplish in the statement of work in accordance with section 3.5.b.(7) of the solicitation.

OBJECTIVE: Develop and demonstrate capability for guaranteeing authenticity of critical electronic components in MDA hardware. Ensure that physical marking techniques are sufficiently robust to withstand handling through supply chain intermediaries and program installation and maintenance processes. Demonstrate confidence in the marking process as a viable, affordable, reliable method of increasing confidence in the authenticity of DoD and MDA electronic componentsPHASE III: Develop a plan to establish in-house detectability methods for electronic components that are 100% accurate in detecting remarked product. Determine implementation timeframe, and develop a cost estimate and time estimate for using equipment available for purchase to be used within the purchasing facility to determine whether components have been recoated. This in-house assessment capability must be stand-alone, but may include exchange of data with the developer in order to confirm encoded DNA information is accurate. MDA and developer present final information to DoD to develop plan forward for adoption (e.g., no adoption, adoption for only critical semiconductor components, full adoption).

COMMERCIALIZATION: The developer will pursue commercialization of the various technologies and processes developed in prior Phases potential commercial uses in electronic components, and assess potential for marking mechanical parts or materials, labels, and other items determined to be at high risk for counterfeiting.
