It is surprisingly easy to find, as that stuff is pretty thoroughly covered in academic/industry journals. The only hinderance to access is a credit card number for the paywall.

The helicopter project is somewhere said to cost $80 million.

Would be interesting to know cost allocation for that Sony/Samsung chip. Project manager and scientists/engineers could have listed design challenges for industry player like TSMC/Apple go beat with an offering, a short run of 20 chips specifically for this helicopter.
