The same reason that the F35 program had a television documentary made about it despite the fact the aircraft still isnt in service money. The cold war is over and these defence giants need to let there stock holders know that they are in the game and looking profitable. The government then has to account for its military spending and show that its research money is actually doing something. Why do you think so many DARPA projects end up on this website? lets be honest its not as if BAE has gone and open sourced the specs now has it just given a rough impression of the performance and released a few pics of what it looks like. This way the share holders know that the UK government is probably going to buy it and BAE is going to make much $$$$. Welcome to a less paranoid world Sea Urchin enjoy it.

Oh and the Pentagon does go on TV and announce how many nuclear warheads you have.
