They're throwing another roomful of people together to build something similar right now. If Joanna wants and maneuvers right, her lab could end up getting a lot of the contracts to do a lot of things the DoD wants done.
I'm not sure whether she's interested in that though, or whether she's pursued it already. They'd probably ask for a bunch of stuff that would involve headaches. Either that or she's already doing work on it. Dunno, to be honest.
