Those types of attack vectors, if you will, call them attack vectors, are being used in the physical world now.

So the drones are like the little Trojans that are everywhere doing mass swarms, trying to overwhelm the enemy through just sheer quantity and mass.

And then our defensive networks are becoming more and more layered and nuanced so that we have these layers of protection.

Because what you don't hear in the news a lot is like nine out of every 10 of these drones were taken care of.

It's just one or two out of 10 that are leaking past.

Wow.

And as they increase that ratio scale, so if they send in 100, that means 10 will get passed.

If they send in 1,000, maybe 100 will get passed.

And so we need more layers.

We need more systems like Leonidas

presented in the fight so that we can take care of the leakers, take care of the swarms, take care of the dark drones.

Leakers?

What are leakers?

Leakers are what I just said.

If you have a system in place like an Iron Dome that takes care of nine out of the ten Shahids that come in and you get one that get in, that's your leaker.

that kind of gets through your traditional network.

And Leonidas is good for those.

It's a good last line of defense, like a close-in weapon system, but with electromagnetic energy.

It's a good analogy, if the listeners know about the Sea Wiz, the little R2D2s on ships that have the 5,000 rounds a minute type of ability to just do that close-in protection.

What we're doing with the Leonidas at EPRIS is creating basically a close-in weapon system, but using electromagnetic bullets
