To be fair, Sonalyst(s) has always acted more like a developer ,who are mainly interested in Gov't contracts with games as a kind of a side-line.
They always partnered with a publisher in the past to handle things like distribution, packaging, and advertising. Putting the old CDs in the stores wasn't really their thing.
So, its possible they are looking for a publisher and saying "Here's what we can code for you if the terms are right". Or, we might be seeing them sending a pitch to the DoD with a consumer game as a fall back?
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't think we'll see anything until they find the right publisher.
