Rossi came up with his hot cat design pretty quick. It seems from my recollection that there was never a significant lead up to the announcement. Available bucks could have been the answer.

Dave - Not really odd when you follow the buck. DoE takes time to fund. And politics are involved. Even the best idea is a year away with many strings attached. DARPA is streamlined. Funds are instantly available with few strings. There is one area of R&D in the USA capable of getting a check for a transformational technology signed this afternoon – and it relates to remotely piloted aircraft (aka drones). This is the top of everyone priority list and if you look close enough, you can probably see the footprint of MITRE. Unless that is, Krivit screwed up by public report of less than a year ago.
