I know the story but autometics Navajo was canceled because of some really bad problems and it was a shame because it was a good idea and a lot of the components are really ahead of their time like the six gyro on Navajo but the Navajo turned into hound dog and Hound Dog at the beginning was a piece of crap too many problems so they sent in Harrison storms to fix it and he did within a year hound dog was hitting its Target every time and there was almost zero defects in the electronics systems because Harrison storms went over to automatics and said you have to change what you're doing there's too many red tags on your crap. Hound dog turned out to be a great cruise missile for many years another quality North American Aviation product
