...but should I hold on to it to develop and sell to the private sector instead?
If I were to be contracted by the DoD for a particular project, whereby they end up dropping interest and the project flops, it's dead in the water. They now own it.
If I develop it for the private sector, guys like you and I could own it and the tech would trickle interest to the .gov anyway.
Since this is a hypothetical, this is not a weapon, this is lets say a "Individualized Battlefield Awareness System". So, if bad guys get hold of one, it's no big deal.
What would you do?
