I I guess that's a real benefit to the improvement of drone technology. voice-verified

Terrible circumstances, but at least we're making some progress. voice-verified

Um, how fast is the uh the drone versus drone technology race advancing? voice-verified

Because I know that also, you know, of course, Russia uses a lot of. voice-verified

Lot of drones and Ukraine uses a lot of drones. voice-verified

So is it um something where you can kind of see one side pull ahead and the other side catch up and back and forth like that? voice-verified

So Starlink is a great segue into kind of what your company does. voice-verified

Now, when I think about connectivity, I'm familiar with how GPS works and I know that there's voice-verified

Other GPS equivalents from other nations and blocks around the world. voice-verified

Uh, and we also now have, for the first time really in human history, functional satellite internet across a large amount of of the planet. voice-verified

So tell me about the connectivity issues that drones are having in Ukraine, and then walk me from there into how your technology plugs the resulting gaps. voice-verified

So voice-verified

The way that I understand this, Ian, is that if you have a topographical map and a camera, you can essentially look out through the camera, see what you see, compare it to the map, and then get a reasonable understanding of where you are. voice-verified

Uh, but to me, that does not sound incredibly precise. voice-verified

Now, with GPS, when I'm in New York City, it can tell which corner at an intersection that I'm at. voice-verified

So it's in. voice-verified

It's incredibly precise and and quick. voice-verified

So how much uh fidelity do we lose by going to your system? voice-verified

And to be clear, I understand that it's the only one that works. voice-verified

So, like I'm not trying to be unkind, but I'm just curious about how well we can do compared to the GPS that people listening to this probably already know and understand. voice-verified
