It enables them to operate without a remote pilot.

And then it enables them, it enables the concept of swarming or teaming where they are able to share information with each other, read and react and work together as a team.

No, they are piloted by an operator.

onboard autonomy stack, an AI pilot.

Again, if you've ever driven a Tesla or been in a Waymo where it's just navigating the streets, executing the mission of dropping you off from point A to point B, making decisions about what to do, same type of technology, but for military applications.

Look, I think you start, you actually start with like the vision, right?

And I asked myself, and then you work backwards from there, but

In 2015, I asked myself, what does the military of 2035 look like?

And what is the role that AI and autonomy plays?

I decided that AI and autonomy should be powering, commanding, maneuvering every single military asset under the sun.

And then you say, OK, well, how do we get there?

Like in BUDS, like in the SEAL teams, just one step at a time.

And so we started with a problem that I was super familiar with, clearing buildings of threats.

And so our first product, we put an AI pilot on a quadcopter and it would go inside buildings and structures completely autonomously looking for threats.

It has been deployed to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Ukraine.

It's been widely deployed.

It's been used, like I'm super proud of the product.

The quadcopter market for the military back in 2015 to like 2000, honestly, like maybe even now, it was a very small market.

So, but like the mission impact that we got to have, like I'm very proud of, you know,

the best of the best soft forces have used it on operations.
