From what I hear, this is pretty certain to become a reality in as far as becoming a production piece eventually. They're just sort of ironing out the "bugs" at this point.
Crazy stuff isn't it?

It will either be a computer, or a guy sitting in an air-conditioned bunker over at Nellis AFB. The world is changing... damn I'm getting old

Also a precursor to commercial uses for high speed flight.
