Drones seem to be at the forefront of the sixth domain of warfare. Could you explain a little bit further your one-to-many approach to this?

A Sure. So when you look at drones, they have the advantage of coming out of what we'll call consumer electronics, and consumer electronics for years have been building around common system on a chip cores. So Qualcomm, Intel, other companies build NVIDIA, build the Jetson system. All of those chips come preloaded with all the software and the control circuits you need to build a drone or Build a robot or build an augmented reality headset. And a lot of times the chip manufacturers even give you reference designs or plans to say, well, if you don't know how to build your own drone, here's how to do it. And so that feeds basically a very simple tinker toy way of building toy, building drones or fielding and building drones. And so we see lots of different folks that are becoming to the business. You know, you see folks from China, you see folks from Iran, but you see folks like the Houthis who don't even have their own country, but they're able to participate. In this kind of warfare due to the ease of design and engineering. And then when you're talking about additive manufacturing, three D printing and these types of things, then that makes the physical container for those chips easy to build as well and easy to scale as well. So we have a problem with manufacturing speed and capacity more than like arsenal depth or how many missiles we have. It isn't how many we have today is h…

Q You talk a lot about being a product company, and now you're on the second generation. Could you explain how you've built this out and what the second generation brings you?

A Sure thing. Yeah, we just very exciting times. We're announcing officially we're nearly done with our first four systems that we're building in the second generation technology. We've built into that. That second generation technology has, ah, lots of benefits and a lot of features that the previous version didn't. So our generation one, and again, think of it for the viewers that are familiar with engineering that are out there, ah, In Silicon Valley, you typically use a heavy sort of leveraged prototype development system. They call it EVT, DVT, PVT. They stand for Engineering Verification Test Article Development, uh, I'm sorry, Design Verification Test Article and then Production. So you're building basically prototypes at each stage. Now this is in contrast to when I was an engineer at Raytheon, and we would build things through what you call a waterfall method. Which has a lot of policy and procedures and checklists and things like that, and you're slowly building one system to kind of the end game to a set of requirements. You're not iterating with prototypes and iterating with generations. That feels like a product company. And so generation two is our next generation where we've taken in from two deployments now, two, two deployments overseas and four systems, we've taken in all of that data All of that feedback, and we've rolled it in to the generation two system. The…
