So this is Viper.

Viper is about a six and a half foot long.

Please take off.

Sorry.

Maybe scroll down a little more.

I haven't been on this website in a while.

There we go.

So Viper gimbals the engine exhaust to take off vertically.

So this is one of our first two products.

Because when everyone can strike everywhere with drones, a runway gets taken out in the first minutes of a conflict.

And so what you really need is to be able to deploy this from anywhere very, very, very quickly.

And the interesting thing here is you and I could deploy these things ourselves.

And by the time it launches, there's nothing to shoot back against.

It literally launches out of the case it comes in.

And so we want an Army contract to go build Viper.

We've been flying it for close to a year and a half now.

Goal is to bring it into production within the next 12 months, likely a lot sooner than that.

So we iterate on vehicles a lot.

So its application will expand over time.

So first application is surface-to-surface strike, the same way one would think about artillery.
