I mean, you can detect anything that you can put any sensor on the platform. And if you talk about how anti-submarine warfare is done today, it's pretty archaic. A helicopter or aircraft will typically fly off an aircraft carrier, drop little buoys in the water. Those little buoys will listen for things. And then they'll try to identify things. And then if they're found, they're found.
It's not super efficient. So you can think about, and this isn't anything we're doing today, but you can think about an autonomous boat with sonar attached to the bottom that's just listening for things under the water and able to relocate and move around completely autonomously.

And you can put hundreds or thousands of these sensors out there and create a listening network for submarine detection. That could be really powerful. Again, not anything we're doing today, but it's something that As we get into, again, like I said, we're just scratching the surface on how these autonomous systems can be used and employed.

Well, the autonomous vehicles themselves can be the logistical vehicles, right? Our 150-foot ship can carry cargo containers, right? 240-foot fully loaded cargo containers. And 150 feet is not going to be the last ship that we build. So we'll build larger ships that can carry more things.

again being completely modular like those ships can carry containers of cargo you can carry containers of our boats you can just have our boats on the back you can have aerial drones on the back you can really integrate anything you want into them and so why would you ship anything on a manned platform when we can't build enough of them in the first place? We just don't have enough manned ships.

And we don't have the people to man them even if we did. So you have to solve this problem with autonomy. And going back to the shipbuilding discrepancy with the Chinese that we were talking about earlier, the only way The only way you solve the problem is by building autonomously because the platforms we have today are so complex, so expensive and so exquisite

And when you look at what the Chinese have done, they subsidized their entire shipbuilding industry and they have people to just throw at the problem and man shipyards to the max, right? Our workforce has shrunk dramatically. That's something we at Saronic are going to be laser focused on rebuilding, like changing the culture around shipbuilding. But the only way you really...

counter the chinese in terms of mass in terms of real shipbuilding capacity is through autonomy and it's because you can strip all of the complexity out of the ship right we talked about aircraft aircraft carriers are amazing they're expensive they take a long time to build but they're incredible. They're feats of engineering.
