“And in the case of this type of warfare, it's going to be necessary. The necessary decision to go forward with AI-controlled battle otherwise a man or a human in the loop won't work.”

“China's building, I've heard, sixty million drones per year is not outside of the question of China being able to do, but, ah, and US maybe 50,000 drones in a year. So there's a huge disparity there.”

“The microprocessors, the computers, you cannot buy an American made computer. You have to go overseas. You have to go to China and military doesn't want to buy A foreign made computer, but there isn't any option, so they have to do by exception”

“I think our entirety of our short range air missiles that we can build per month are in the dozens. Like, I think in the tens or the, or maybe end up to like a hundred. But just orders of magnitude less than what folks can build with consumer electronics.”

“If you talk group one and group two, China can build probably 100,000 group one and group two systems in a single month.”

“They have somewhere along the lines of a couple thousand drone incursions over the border, and all we're doing today is just watching them fly on by. That's all we're doing. We're not doing a thing to them, and they're coming in, and we know they're carrying i…”

“There are areas like hypersonics and others where we're not the best in the world”

“We had zero targets that we did not take down. In other words, we were 100% effective on Every single scenario and every single target that they threw at us, we had an effect on”

“Space is a it would be a, it's definitely a domain where high powered microwave will become a significant player in. In the near future.”

“We are deploying to CENTCOM. If those deployments are successful, we will be palmed into a program or record In 20, 25.”

“Russia, I think can build 500 shahads per month. The group three shahad, 500 per month.”

“We haven't built that kind of volume of amplifiers in the United States anyways since the early 2000 when we were doing the base stations and all of the towers were going up for our cell phones everywhere and you had Nortel networks and all of that. That was r…”

“And oh, by the way, Next Generation Jammer just went on its first deployment with the USS Lincoln. So now it's being shipped overseas.”

“We're confident that we can build HPM that can have effects, very, very ubiquitous effects out at those ranges as well. Very, very confident.”

“So even though, ah, HPM systems are relatively expensive compared to a 30,000 dollar drone, you can actually take down maybe 10 drones a flight and then re-land and, ah, recover with a Roadrunner.”

“What people don't say that when you boil it down to what actually is reprogrammable, it's a tiny fraction of that. It's like, I think the army has maybe a hundred and fifty million, a billion, I'm sorry, a hundred and fifty billion dollars or less to do anythi…”

“What happens is, is a first person viewer drone with what they call a contact charge needs to drive that first person view drone all the way into impact. Cause how the contact charge works is it hits the armor And then a little spike shoots through the armor, …”

“So when the army gave us a contract, they said, see if we can deliver these in a couple years, two and a, it was a two and a half years actually. We delivered four systems in 15 months. I mean, just unheard of. 15 months, four full systems to the Army.”
