I was not familiar with the term geometric growth, until reading your post, then looking it up, seeing that it is the antithesis to exponential growth, with little variability, and steady upward movement. I would like to think that with the direction technology is headed, with advancements in robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial, etc., that there is minimum of a 5-yr window in time, that being of exponential growth, before inching our way into near-stagnation, or worse, the top of a bubble within the sector(s) that we stand to serve.
I honestly did not give thought to the fact that proposals may be in negotiations between us and other entities, before clarifying terms and setting a fixed unit price and/or date of delivery. On that premise, it would not be unreasonable to think that, on top of the purchase orders that we are witness to, that there may be a whole host of others soon to have needs met by us, translating into revs for us.
Geography serves to be quite the boon for the company, given our certification, and lack of competition within the area, not to mention the laws that favor domestic preference with regards to industrial purchase. Success begets success, indeed. NAVAIR is a success in and of its own, our timely delivery of the 100k PO was another success in the form of reputation and client satisfaction, and any big name(such as Boeing, COMAC, AVIC, etc) that attaches its name to us, will be just the form of success we need to beget exponentially more in kind.
My guess is that the first acquisition target would be BTL, our partner, an entity that is NAVAIR approved via TPAC, and has the AS9100C cert, preferred by Boeing. It would be great to attach their revs to ours, and to have our management team create a more productive and profitable environment within BTL, seeing as at least one of our team members has done so with other companies in such a capacity. And the contacts we have, between all team members, not just professionally, but also, personally, are incredible. Investors would most certainly not opt to hang the company for adjustments in timeline, or even in rev projections. I am of the opinion that most just want transparency, seeing as, despite the caliber of this company, the market it is being traded in is high-risk/high-volatility, infamous for burning shareholders, and leaving them battle-hardened and suspicious of even the honest ones.
All that said, I do not see the company achieving NAVAIR, only to stall out in its infancy. I would venture that there is plenty on the horizon, just on the other side of an extended wait or two.
On the speculation that BTL is one of the acquisition targets, and that they are our supplier, I am curious to know who else they are supplying that we are not:

NAVAIR inspected & approved BTL as our supplier. If we change suppliers we must notify NAVAIR. We're in full compliance with NAVAIR regs
