This means it will only be cost competitive if it’s price is capable of beating traditional battery back up using off peak grid power.

For the military on the other hand it’s likely to be a wonderful money saver when compared to shipping diesel fuel through combat zones to run generators. It’s good that they are taking point on this kind of technology as their cost/incentive structure makes it well worth while. Eventually the tech will improve and trickle back. Just not quite yet.
