    Business Insider describes 'the roughly $500,000 Roadrunner-M' in context of US Navy/DoD purchases (DoD bought 500+ Roadrunner-M in Oct 2024 under a ~$250M contract that also included Pulsar EW systems, so the contract cannot be divided cleanly; $250M/500 = $500K upper bound incl. Pulsar). Approximate press figure, not an official unit price.
