I had a radar on my ranger tug.
Radars just become commodity.
I think this type of technology very may well be a commodity type technology that if we continue to live in a world where bad actors are using these toys and these mice, as we call them, to kind of get out of the lane, get out of the normal lanes of warfare to try to
use these things to create terror-type stuff.
Even if the war ends in two or three weeks, that doesn't end, right?
We don't end the Houthis hurting people in the Red Sea and trying to mess up our shipping lanes.
It doesn't end people trying to throw drones into American bases and such over in that region, other bad actors.
I think even if we pull out
the big guns, and we go back or whatever in a few weeks from now, there's going to be at least a many, many year sort of tale to this that drones and this mice warfare is going to be really prevalent, I think, in that region, especially in that region.
Yeah, we have, and this is something that is very relevant and we're doing right now with the Department of War.
We're showing them basically...
each and every sort of perturbation of what you just asked.
So a system, just a standalone system, the big ones, like the ones you see out there, they can go for, depending on how you outfit them, what kind of sensors you're using, they can go from anywhere from the mid-teens to upwards to 20 million or more if you want all the bells and whistles and stuff.
So they're not cheap.
They're not cheap to buy the system.
But then every drone they're on after is pennies, is literally pennies.
The fuel that it takes us to take down an individual drone costs just a few cents, 5, 10, 20 cents, something like that.
If you combine those two, then it becomes an equation of how many drones are you taking out in a given month, in a given year, utilizing that system.
And if you take out, let's say, 50 drones in a month,
it becomes dollars.
