More than 100,000 missions, the biggest Series A in the history of Ukrainian defense tech.

Erik Prince joins as our non-executive chairman and the first IPO out of this Ukrainian defense ecosystem.

customizing it so we will not work with chinese components let's start with that but even taking a step back it's any drone that has sufficient processing power and the radio that we can use right so sometimes we start talking to manufacturers and the first thing we tell them is looking at your bill of materials we recommend that you upgrade the radio or that you upgrade the processor otherwise there's not enough good things that can be done with this hardware right but assuming that the hardware is sufficiently strong

then yes, it's an integration process for us.

It's not plug and play yet, right?

But it's weeks to make it operational and to make it interoperable with everything else that we've integrated until then.

Which basically means that the moment you're Swarmer enabled, now you can be included in the same mission as a whole bunch of other hardware from other manufacturers that is also Swarmer enabled.

Yeah, so we're a drone company like Microsoft is a PC company.

Gotcha, okay.

Microsoft's basic premise from 1980 was there's 200 different IBM-compatible PCs, will be the operating system that can work on any single one of them, assuming they have sufficiently strong hardware that follows the same architecture, right?

So we kind of have the same premise.

We want to be able to run on...

there's more than 500 drone companies in Ukraine alone, right?

So we want to be able to run on every single one of those.

We want to run on anything that is done in the West as well in other countries.

And when we say drone, it doesn't have to be the flying kind, right?

You have marine drones, you have terrestrial drones,

A launcher, even if it's stationary, if it can be controlled remotely, it's a drone from our perspective.

A guidance kit on a bomb is a drone.

A missile is a drone.
