Do not merge service development lines
The Navy RDT&E series is retained as an annual funding measure. The broader Air Force work is not added as if it were the Navy missile development total.
Open research: Current U.S. inventory and complete annual operating-and-support costs require additional public evidence. Buyer records are selected examples, not a complete global order book.
