I spoke to a patent attorney for the military

What person is this?

I ask because the phrase "military patent attorney" produced no results at
Google. The phrase "patent attorney for the military " produces exactly one
result: your post using the phrase.

Why involve the military at all?

I ask because the military doesn't buy from individuals. It buys from
companies. Your antenna, whatever its ability to inspire wonderment (or
not), will be developed and produced by a company that acquires rights to
your eventual patent. (I have a passing acquaintance with military
procurements, having worked on all three sides of that triangle: 21 years
active military, 20 years defense contractor and five years Civil Service,
including training for procurement.)
