December 7th, carrier-based aviation really became the center of naval warfare. And you think about what carrier-based aviation provides the country. Its ability to put 5,000 people Eight different squads of aircraft anywhere in the world where we don't have a base and project power.

Mm-hmm That's important, but we could do that with drones Do that with drones We Don't right now we need people and get his men and unmanned teaming and I don't think over the next call it I 30 to 40, I don't think we're gonna see a world where it's like truly like robots on robots. Like people still make decisions, right? And there's a really important aspect.

Like, look, we're building autonomous aircraft, but we're also building next generation fighters, right? And we need both of those things as a country. It's not an or conversation. It really is an end conversation. We need this and this. Where it becomes an or conversation is really like, okay, do I really need that 12th aircraft carrier that costs $13 billion?

Or do I only need five aircraft carriers and I can save $50 billion on new construction, and I can build, say, $50 billion a year on maintenance, and I'm making up numbers, obviously, and I can now put that money towards autonomous systems. So what's the right mix to have the most powerful fleet and the most powerful military in the world?

I don't think it's saying zero people, but I don't think it's, We need 381 man ships either. So it's some mix in between.

From a production rate perspective, I mean, we have the capacity to build hundreds, like literally hundreds of boats right now in our facility in Austin. We only have 65,000 square, or no, sorry. Our main manufacturing facility is 65,000 square feet. We have over 150,000 square feet in total online, but we're opening a facility that's 420,000 square feet.

The main manufacturing facility would be close to 120,000 square feet. So we're 3X-ing the space that we have available. And we're going from hundreds to thousands of boats per year. So that's just- Thousands of boats per year. Thousands. And that'll be online by the end of the year. That is coming online very, very quickly. So we have that capability in Austin.
