Q So Grant, when you guys, you know, started thinking about this, the thinking far ahead about like, okay, the same way the internet needed like security and the drone and airspace will need security in this way where you can essentially enforce, so to speak, the anti-drone. What was, what were the scenarios that were coming in your guys' minds that you came up with this?
A Yeah. Well, I mean, it's, it's kind of interesting too, because when we first started, uh, working on this and thinking about this, um, you know, it was still pretty early in the space and we weren't really seeing drone incidents occurring. Um, you know, whereas now it's like literally one a week, uh, if not more. Um, but I, I think to me, the big difference is that there's kind of a gap in, um, airspace enforcement, right? Like if you're talking about commercial aviation, civil aviation, um, you know, at some point, Your enforcement of airspace restrictions, there's, there's kind of two things that come into play. One is just the barrier to entry to be involved in aviation at all, right? You know, the amount of training required, the amount of money required up front with, uh, planes and fuel and all of that. Um, but then, you know, in addition to that, it's a question of, at the end of the day, there is an enforcement mechanism up there. You know, you have your plane registered with who owns it. The FAA can come and cite you, can take away your licenses, things like that. You know, they can track you down. Uh, they have transponder requirements, um, and also, you know, at some point, if you fly into restricted airspace, the National Guard will literally, you know, fly an F-sixteen up next to you and tell you to land.
