I think I once read somewhere in Jane's Defence Weekly that the military is now usually about 30 years ahead in technological capability of the public's knowledge with many of their black projects. Famously, Lockheed's (sexy AF) F-117 was conceived in 1975, flown for the first time in 1981, and only became public knowledge in 1988; it had already been airborne for seven years by the time people became aware of it. Just a classic example of this delay in what's out there and what's actually being engineered / produced.
