Could the Boom Overture have a Military Application?

There is a long history of civilian aircraft being adapted to military roles. P8 Poseidon, Wedgetail AWACS, A330 MRT, KC10, KC767 etc etc

Could the Boom Ovature with it's M1.7 cruise speed and fairly long range work as a missile truck. The P8 has 2 x internal weapons bays. The Ovature could have a similar arangement to carry 30 or so long range cruise missles. Sort of like a low cost B1 sucessor.

Thoughts anyone?
