Doesn't provide any details on why the SHiELD project was shelved (particularly since the plan was to have a test of the pod on an F-15 sometime in FY 2024.

But....

Given that the system was essentially three separate systems, all designed by separate companies...& given that while the laser was designed by Lockheed & the targeting system by Northrup Grumman, the pod was being built by Boeing...that could maybe have something to do with it?
