Q We've been involved in like this really rapid increase in drone warfare. I'm really curious to get your perspective on the evolution of this and like how you even decided to go after this so severely and like, what's the current state?
A Well, basically what we saw is, um, I sold my last company to DoorDash and then right when the deal closed, um, Putin invaded Ukraine, like pretty much like the next week. And we saw very early on that, um, the countermeasures we were investing in as a country, like electronic warfare, Um, or like microwave technology. I, I don't think those are going to be like long-term sustainable for some of the new drones of the future. So we saw that early and started to work on kinetic defeat solutions because you can't really armor these drones enough against a bullet. So this will be like a much more reliable system, especially as the drones start to add AI and then you can't jam them anymore.
