This technology was available in the late 80s for military fighter aircraft, and later to be used on military cargo planes. Considering all, the $3M per aircraft seems high, unless it has since been further advanced. At the time, the contract price was $78M for more than 400 units, incl many bench and burn-ins; this. of course, was for fighters.
