Yeah, it takes out tethered drones.

I think some people, this is getting a little deep, but I'll kind of talk about it.

And then just for the listeners that maybe understand a little bit more about directed energy and in particular high powered microwave, there's two kind of classes, I'll call them.

They're what's called wide band, high powered microwave directed energy and narrow band.

high-powered microwave.

And when they say band, they're talking about the frequency.

So how many frequencies does this particular system use or leverage?

How many frequencies does this narrowband use and leverage?

Traditionally, historically, narrowband systems have been working sometimes, sometimes not working.

Working on some targets, but not working on all targets.

That's been historically the impression that directed energy experts have about narrowband systems.

Wideband systems, which we started decades ago, which we started getting at decades ago, leverage something called vacuum tubes or transmit wave tubes, which are

these very sort of simple but very effective amplifiers like gallium nitride, but they amplify in a way that causes you have to operate the system differently than the way we operate our system.

You can't use the same sort of techniques in the same sort of ways that we operate our system.

The difference between our narrowband system and previous generations and previous ages that they've tried this

is one, we have a component of being able to move the narrow band frequency to whatever frequency within a certain bandwidth that we want to move it at.

So we can choose and pick.

We can go through and say, try this frequency, try this frequency, try this frequency, try this frequency.

So we're trying to match or map the electromagnetic interference

to the drone susceptibilities.
