It's, I mean, I mean, I mean, there's all this like smart bombs, I think were like the big thing for the desert storm that we hadn't had before, where you're able to basically target everything and take it out really precisely and just like, just like completely like surprise and wipe out, you know, Song of Saiyans army in a way that was just, it was like a whole generation ahead because of how you could target and how you can do things from the air.
And, you know, I think the new thing today that we're seeing in Ukraine, of course, is that it's like you can all of a sudden have like 20,000 or 100,000 things at once in a semi-coordinated way actually move and attack and swarm. And it's just really, really, really hard to beat. And so you are seeing things just change entirely.

We have this video for Epirus where there's like these like thousand drones coming at you. And then these like old fashioned people are trying to fire the missiles at them and you can take out a few and like, what are you going to do? Like it's, and it's crazy.

Even people who only have like five drones attacking our ships, we're spending these super expensive missiles, exactly a million dollars to shoot down something that's worth hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars. And yeah, so if you can get, It turns out that you want to have all the power hit the gallium nitride, the emitter, at about the same time.

So you have these AI chips that control power on very small time scales. And you get all the power, hit the gallium nitride at once, which means it's much better. Gallium nitride is an emissive material. It's the most efficient emissive material for like sitting out like a 10,000th of a second burst of microwave radiation. Uh-huh.

And if you do it with enough power, the micro radiation is so strong that it can like even turn things off, you know, miles away, depending how you do it. So, and so basically you're effectively frying the circuits of these things coming in. It's like a Star Trek shield and you turn them off.

And we can try to put EPRESS on the tanks. We could defend some of them. You know, we have a company called Overland AI. And they've won all these DARPA challenges. We're the best in the country. It is driving over complex terrain. And so everyone's using it for that. But the vehicle of some kind, any vehicle driving over terrain is what we're realizing.

It's just similar to how Saronic here in Austin's building thousands of smaller vessels for the Navy. And we're going to start building larger ones too. And having them swarm for the Navy that are, you know, armed and autonomous. We want to build thousands of overland vehicles.
