A monument to the failure of something designed by committee, to do everything, for everyone, and to bribe every congressional district possible.
A national embarrassment.

FWIW, Wiki says the development contract was signed in 1996.
The System Development and Demonstration contract was awarded on 26 October 2001 to Lockheed Martin.
Almost twenty years from “lets do this,” to operational deployment?
Yes, an incredible embarrassment.
