You take that, you convert it back in the back end to DC.
These DC cables bring the DC up into the columns.
And then once that DC power's in the columns, all stored up, it sends it into what we call the L-RAMs, those boxes.
Those L-RAMs are magical converters that convert that DC power
into RF power, microwave power, using, if you remember, I'll quiz you, gallium nitride.
Using gallium nitride in order to do that conversion.
So that's like the magic rocks, if you will, like a magic material that's able to take massive amounts of power and convert that power to massive high-powered microwave system or microwave energy.
Wow.
On the front.
Yeah, you feel protected just seeing it, you know?
Wait till it operates and people are like, what?
Well, we're getting close to being a lot more liberally able to shoot it.
The FAA is very interested in seeing these things deployed.
They feel safe with this sort of a system versus some of the kinetics and even the laser systems can give people worry when you're shooting them over like El Paso or whatever, like they had to shut down that airport a couple of times when they had a
A laser system or whatever down there.
This system wouldn't need to shut down any airports.
It wouldn't have any sort of issues just operating alongside other radars.
It's kind of like a high-powered radar more than it is any kind of traditional directed energy system.
We're trying to get this year, by the end of the year, we're trying to get one a week.
So 50 a year, that's take us into next year.
