It ultimately leads to you haven't done research and development.
You're not fighting the next theater, you're not thinking about where things are headed.
And so I I think that has been the the sea change is that now Silicon Valley is is all in on this mission and sees how important it is.
And the defense industrial base, I mean, this is something that that, you know, it it in some ways, it is the reason why America, you know, is so strong and is so mighty, right?
Like we won the Ben always likes to say this, we won the defense industrial or we won the uh industrial revolution.
Right?
Like the technology is the backbone of what makes America strong, of what is the envy of the world.
And if we don't apply that to our national security and our national interest, uh we lose a lot of that competitive.

Absolutely.
I mean part of part of what's what what why it's so necessary is because the US government doesn't want to buy um drone technology from from other country or from other countries.
They can't, I mean, in in in many cases.
So you can build it here.
Um I'd say that you know there the the the actual problem with a lot of the drones that are being manufactured in the US is that some of the dumb parts, most of them come from China or most of them come from other countries, and that's something that we have to get better at is the component parts that go
