I don't believe they actually flew over a DoD or U.S. government facility, but they were testing us.

Well, without revealing the classified information, there is a smattering of facilities that have approvals to engage through various methods. Okay, and I'll just leave it at that. It can't be a smattering. It has to be pervasive. So, there are a handful. Now, there's four. I think it was the Congressional Research Service did a great piece.

Look up CRS's report on domestic airspace and countering drones. There's four U.S. government agencies that have authority. First is Department of Energy, but it's at very specific locations like the Nevada test site, okay? Then you have the Department of Defense, which has mature procedures and capabilities at a very small number of facilities, okay? And I'm not going to say which ones.

Then you have Department of Justice slash DHS that have legal authorities over special situations, such as the airspace over the White House, which is actually the one airspace sector that is not managed by the FAA, but managed by Secret Service, obviously. But you have national sensitive security events, which are declared such as the State of the Union, the Super Bowl.

And that's where FBI that has a very robust counter drone. But again, they have to be... We don't have a pervasive agreed upon... And this is the domestic airspace. This is not a forward operating base in Iraq or Syria where we set up the Centurion system, which is the Army version of the Navy Gatling gun. That thing works. That thing works awesome.

Yeah, I mean, it works great, but firing 20 millimeter rounds over desert space to zap an incoming mortar round or a small drone or a big drone, no problem. Firing a stream of 20 millimeter rounds over residential area, that's a really bad idea. Okay. That is not going to end well.

So we have to develop a protocol for alerting, alerting, and not just that the government agency is responsible, but also the local civilian population. We might have to bring back the old air raid sirens that used to go off at 12 o'clock noon Wednesday during the Cold War.
