Go and search this hundred square mile box in the ocean and take a hundred boats. Well, actually, software, you tell me how many boats I need to go send to that area. Okay, I need a hundred boats. Great, enter. The boats plan their routes. They all work together. They all communicate together. If one boat in that swarm sees a target vessel, that information gets shared between all of the boats

and gets passed back to a human operator that is in the loop. or on the loop, excuse me, I even get those terms mixed up and we can go through what those mean.

But it creates a really, really scalable environment where you're now actually able to employ thousands of autonomous systems and control them with very few human operators, reducing the cognitive load, increasing reliability on the battlefield, and most importantly, keeping people very safe out of combat. All that's done through software. So one person can control up to 100 boats? More, more.

There's really no upper limit on how many boats you'll be able to control with our software.

And what that means, so each boat has artificial intelligence that lives at the edge. And it's critical for each platform to be intelligent in its own right. So each boat has to know where it's at in the swarm, what its job in the mission is, how have the sensors and perception and everything else to be able to operate independently.

And then once you have, we call them intelligent individual actors, you can then combine intelligent individual actors to do things very smartly together, right? And that's when the controls become very easy because you don't have to say, Hey, this boat, and this was what used to happen. There's kind of like two ways that autonomy developed. One is simply with waypoint navigation.

So for each boat, I have to plan a route. I have to say, go to this waypoint, go to that waypoint, go to that waypoint, go to that waypoint. And then the sensors are something completely different. that doesn't scale with five boats or 10 boats. At some point you lose economies of scale and you just can't plan missions that way.

So if I'm sending a hundred boats on a mission, I can't plan as a human. I can't plan the route for each and every boat. I just want to say, go into this area. If you see big Chinese ships coming at you, do this and let me know. Right? So you have 100 boats that each know where each other are. They're not going to crash into each other. They're all working.
