Correct. Specifically to your comment though, the US Navy has not yet shown a follow-on production program in their future carrier airwing documents or budgets. One would hope this is the end of the six year cycles, but so far:The Navy held a competition and paid a contractor for six years to build two operationally relevant vehicles to demonstrate CVN compatibility and USN aerial refueling receiving with a follow on decision for an acquisition program.The Navy now held another competition (after much debate) and is paying a another contractor for six years to build four vehicles to certify CVN compatibility and USN aerial refueling giving to a four vehicle IOC state with an apparent follow on decision and funds for a production program.
