Recommended FY26 mix is the default. Tactical and protection lines are priced at the family unit cost (Lance-S, Nereid-S). Open a blueprint for full variant pricing. Compare to the public plan: USAF wants 150 CCAs by 2029 and 500 by 2032 at $20โ€“30M, 500 MMA at ~$10M, MQ-25 deliveries in 2029, and SOF thousands of OWA by 2032. MERIDIAN fronts the cheap mass in FY26 and still reaches CCA-class scale by FY32.
