If accurate, Cartwright should be sent to Afganistan with his balloons. [:(]

At Cartwright’s urging, money was found in 2011 for a trial run of the technology — officially, an “operational exercise” — in the skies above Washington.
Cartwright retired the same year — and joined Raytheon’s board of directors five months later. As of the end of 2014, Raytheon had paid him more than $828,000 in cash and stock for serving as a director, Securities and Exchange Commission records show.
Somehow, I think he'll have better plans than going to Afghanistan.
Alternatively, Israel's EL/M-2080, and EL/M-2083 seems to be working just fine.
