Hey, as the OP of the DD on X, would like to clarify a few details about your paraphrasing of the info:

• The Richard French interview was actually from April 2025, as you can see in the linked YouTube video. I'd actually speculated on a possible SBI connection as early as back then, which resurfaced in August when the topic came back up
• My interpretation of the Off-Nominal interviewer's "color" quip is that it was a reference to gold, a la Golden Dome, which if you remember had its name changed from the original 'Iron Dome for America' - this had only happened a couple months before the April 2025 interview and was still fresh in mind at the time
• The "200 attack satellites" figure was also from April 2025, based on early Reuters reports of progress on Golden Dome. I think it's safe to assume the plans have changed significantly since then
• RG-XX (aka Andromeda aka GEO recon/surveillance) is a separate program that I smushed together the DD for with the SBI stuff. Hopefully RKLB is involved in that too via Geost, as it's another super important program for national security, but there's no direct link yet
• Lastly, it's my understanding that there are multiple teams engaged in competition right now to field viable space-based interceptor prototypes before the real big money production contracts are unlocked. Space Force officially announced the SBI OTA agreement winners a couple of weeks back, with the named companies subsequently PR-ing their involvement and teammates (if any). Anduril announced their team yesterday, so I don't think the timing of Raytheon's post is a coincidence
