Keep the joint award separate
The $720M announcement covers two missile families and several customers. Dividing the whole award by a guessed Hellfire quantity would misstate the price.
The recent Navy hardware line buys training missiles
The FY2024 F6300 line covers air training missiles. Its hardware price is documented separately and does not fill the missing current combat-round price.
