4 DARPA will come up with one at $250,000. per shot with a contractor crew of three.

In DARPA's defense, it will take them 5 years to work out the requirements with various "stakeholders" and build a prototype. After another five, they will have units in the field. So, all in all, a whole lot of people will get paid.

Our Military-Industrial Complex is great at turning out effective and expensive systems, but they have a long cycle time. For a darkly amusing look at how this works, go watch "The Pentagon Wars" which is based on the development of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle

If I were me, I would turn this into a national high school science competition. Let our young nerds chew on the problem and behold the power of weaponized autism!
