A lot of it's focused on how do you actually use technology to fight against the speeds of development of countries like China, for example, in terms of manufacturing speeds.
And a big part of that is actually understanding the quality and the welds, putting together the actual welds, put pieces together.
This is actually a huge bottleneck for the US.
We have these manufacturing and forges that are 100 years old doing things 100 year old today that they did back then.
The technology that we're using to deploy to help manufacture certain components of a submarine or be able to help expedite how fast a destroyer is and turn around to get it out and patrolling borders and deterring conflict.
These are sort of the things that our robots are using to help to speed up decision making process and make sure you're accurate.
And so in some cases, Admiral Houston has talked about 90% improvements to speed up manufacturing using the technology that Gecko builds.
And you're seeing companies like Anduril now working with us.
He might drop a bomb any minute.
Yeah, I think he's doing a speech pretty soon.
And so it's just amazing to see the adoption.

They're trying to figure out, okay, all of these...
all these hyperscalers are trying to figure out how to get infrastructure.
They're focusing on CapEx a lot, right?
Well, what if we started to play a game where, you know, we have access to these problems, to these really, you know, these GDP driver companies.
What if we actually took an AI native, or in our case, what we've seen a lot of companies be is like, how do you robot native first?
to support the AI initiatives by injecting and taking a very aggressive approach in how to implement and put robotics to use to help build up the data infrastructure to then layer on AI models.
