    It absolutely does not. I have worked for the US government doing “simulations” of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) control systems as a software engineer. I put simulation in quotes because they hardly qualify, they were using a shitty game engine from a shitty war game that was like 10 years old. Their tech was a shit show absolute garbage. The worst job I ever had. I do not believe they have anything we don’t see in the private sector or in academia. They don’t have secret tech like that.

      When you say academia… do you mean private institutions only, or are you including public institutions and researchers that are funded by government grants?
