could probably actually put those together over a weekend with enough Claude credits, you know? voice-verified

This reminds me a little bit of like the automotive industry. voice-verified

Because one thing that someone told me who works in robotics is that, you know, if you make a a component for automotive, they're gonna grind you down on cost. voice-verified

And they're also gonna demand that it works for like 200,000 miles being bounced around it in a hot temperature. voice-verified

So they just want. voice-verified

simple, high performant, cheap. voice-verified

And it sounds like that kind of maps to what we need for our drones. voice-verified

But Ian, it sounds like then the company, Theseus, has become voice-verified

much more a software company than a combined hardware and software company. voice-verified

So essentially, we got really far with drone technology when GPS worked, just generally speaking. voice-verified

And now that we are in a post-GPS era for warfare drones, we've had to essentially rebuild to get back to the level of autonomy that we had. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

Well, that's difficult, but I'm glad we we've gotten there. voice-verified

Because you guys have been at this now for a couple of years. voice-verified

You're in Ukraine. voice-verified

You're doing uh, I presume, testing of some sort, but how quickly does the technology improve? voice-verified

And is it improving along a accuracy axis or more of a cost and reliability axis? voice-verified

How many drones a year does Ukraine need? voice-verified

And and what do you think should be the capacity of the United States to manufacture drones? voice-verified
