    What is a determining factor which it doesn't show is effectiveness on long continuous use on long continuous grade for commercial use at high speed.

    It's military, so it's all geared towards weight savings. Less brake weight=more equipment on every plane load. Get one of those sweet military contracts. Or get bought out by general dynamics or osh kosh.
