That becomes like pretty magical when you approach whatever the next problem is because you've already got pieces of it solved.

Gives us a head start, allows us to get to market at usually reduced cost, usually a better schedule.

kind of hitting all of the performance characteristics that our customers care about.

So, okay, so back to the actual question on cyber, right?

So why go after it?

Like we kind of have to go wide and we have to believe that we have parts of the problem already solved with the platform in order to even approach a market.

We wouldn't get into a market if we didn't think we already had applicable technology or a technology tailwind.

But where we do, we're definitely going to go after it.

Yeah, there'll be one that wins, right?

It's going to be really hard to pick it, I think is the problem.

But there will definitely be one winner.

I think the challenge for investors is actually figuring out which one it is.

Yeah, so the way that we do this is when we have a new idea, we basically start a really small tiger team that we generally piece together from various parts of the business.

We kind of match our own internal motivation and spend, our own IRAD, to what the market is whispering to us.

So in government, what this generally looks like is you piece together some tech really, really quickly so that you have a demonstrator or at least a dart to throw.

And then you start to pulse the market and you see how close was that dart throw to the

what the customer actually cares about, how they think about the problem.

Do you modify it?

Were you totally off, and you just need to scrap it and start over again?

In government, uniquely, you know you have something when the customer's excitement starts to match your own.
