HBO made a pretty good movie based on Burton's book. "Pentagon Wars" with Kelsey Grammer & Cary Elwes. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144550/ Your article mentions another notorious turkey that got cancelled, the M247 Sgt. York DIVAD (Division Air Defense). There's a car connection since one of the main contractors was Ford Aeronutronics. Known to some of us working in the field, who had to deal with them, as Ford Aero-Neurotics. The M247 was supposed to be a low-priced system using existing components: the hull of the M60 tank, modified fire control radar from the F-16 fighter, etc. Didn't work out that way. Costs ballooned and the thing couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, let alone an incoming Russian fighter. Ford also raised eyebrows because it insisted on using 40mm Swedish Bofors guns, not guns firing the common NATO 35mm anti-aircraft rounds. It was probably just a coincidence that Ford was partnered with Bofors and stood to make lots of money from that decision...
