Not to mention that most of the high tech weapons procurements are done on a cost-plus basis, a method that does not reward efficiency. In fact, the more you spend (i.e., the less efficient you are), the more you get paid (other than when the Government succeeds is disallowing costs, an exceedingly rare event).
