Rapid
Product Development
Yet if times stay tough...the need for innovative, rapidly developed, and the need for relatively inexpensive systems that are best supplied by a Skunk Works will be greater than ever. By its very definition as a low overhead, advanced development operation for crash production of hot items--prototypes representing cutting-edge technologies that the customer eagerly needs or wants to exploit--the Skunk Works is needed more than ever.
