It's also like one of the most dangerous things that a soldier, a soft, you know, warrior, like,

does in terms of a mission.

And so again, clearing buildings, clearing tunnels, it sounds really cool until you start taking fire from the other side.

And you say, look, is there a better way to do this?

And that's where I think SOF has been a great partner, not just from the quadcopter, but all the way up to all of our products.

Because they're always asking the question, is there a better way to do this?

And so that's been just a positive mentality.

But yeah, it was.

It was fun doing the tests, the exercises.

Again, they were great partners.

Their innovation cell working directly with us.

Very proud of what we accomplished.

But at the same time, it was at small scale, and that's why we had to figure out how to like...

build other products because they're just not a lot of people unfortunately care about the soft you know fighter or like the the infantry soldiers there's just it pales in comparison in terms of like the amount of funding uh that's going towards other capabilities so was there was there any i mean did they implement it immediately or did they yeah they took they took it over um

to the battlefield, they used it, right?

And you get feedback, right?

It sucked in this scenario.

Why wasn't it working here?

And like, that's when like team would solve bugs, solve problems, send it back, we fix this.

They'd use it, you know, again, it was successful in a lot of operations, unsuccessful in some, and that's just like the name of the game in terms of like early stage, highly technical products.
