So basically anything that has a processor and a radio and is unmanned can be controlled and included in the same set of missions where the mission could include multiple types of drones working together.

Yeah, we've avoided the word robot because people have a certain image in mind when you mention it.

But essentially, yes.

Again, anything that is unmanned and has a radio and some processing capacity can be treated as a drone.

It can be controlled remotely.

Or in our case, it's not that we control it remotely all the time.

We tell it what the rules of engagements are.

And then our software runs on board the device so that it can make autonomous decisions.

We think about it a lot and we have to define it correctly, otherwise other people will define it incorrectly, right?

So from our perspective, there's a difference between a decision on what is a valid target and a decision on what is the best way to achieve a target that was already set.

So from our perspective, setting the objectives, choosing the targets, prioritizing the target, that's the task of a human.

Our system is not involved in that in any way.

But now that the human gave us a list of targets and prioritized them or set weights on them, it's the job of our system to figure out how to maximize the value of the mission with the assets we have.

So if we have five targets, nine drones, very contested environment, we will figure out how to hit the most important targets, which drone takes which target, in what order they do it, what approaches they take.

All of that is something a human does not concern himself with, but the human needed to choose these targets and approve them.

So again, using the same operating system analogy that I've used before, if you have a dialog box on your PC that asks you something and asks you yes or no, you click the button, right?

You don't care which process then gets launched on which core of the CPU.

What order are those commands scheduled in?

All of that is too much information.

You want to know that the button does what you want it to do, right?
