Nah. The Pentagon will spend a trillion dollars to harden it so that some geek with an Iphone can't bring it down. They'll claim that spending one penny less will endanger national security and they will make lots of generals and admirals to ensure the success of the program and the defense contractors will make sure that they all have cushy private-sector jobs to go to when they retire.
That is how things work in the military-industrial complex.
