Yeah, but my realism would probably scrue the PPS if I were in management! SH's want to hear rosy promises IMO. Clark's PowerPoint inspired me even. Still does. And I really believe they believe it. We need guys like them in American industry IMO. VC flows to the visionaries. In privately-owned companies we don't have 20,000 mostly uninformed bosses asking where the money is. We actually laugh at each other about missed timelines. Remember, Tony is DHS and not DoD--two different animals. He will learn IMO, but give him some time--Glenn too IMO. You ask too much of Anita--I think things are moving too fast for Directors to speak into the day-to-day IMO. But I am gratified you see my realism.
Thanks for asking about the buzz. Unfortunately it was not from a procurement officer. That would have been material and I would have said nothing. It was from other industry folks--some in Ohio and some out east. I feel Ok saying because it is typical rumor--in the past month I have heard about initial orders of 2 BiB's, 3 BiB's and 10 BiB's wanted by the Army--not in that order, not from the same person and all with contradictory stories. For intel purposes I note it because something other than the WSGI web site, my enthusiasm or this board (LOL!) engendered those speculations. The BiB is "out there" and its idea is respected by industry folks and they see a path to procurement. I still give it 50-50 by April 2013 personally. If it has the quality of tech of the Argus, it has potential in DoD, DHS and foreign sales IMO. And why wouldn't it? I am trying to get an Easton visit worked in January--should have gone to AUVSI and peeked in the box! LOL. Good times--realistically. Warm regards, IndyJonesOhio
