Yeah, I think you have to look at it in drone warfare as an evolving technology and, you know, it's a layered approach. You know, I think we have things that are going to hit them pretty far out. We have, you know, some capabilities that are EW that are pretty far out. And then as they get closer, it becomes a little more kinetic to be able to shoot them.
And then if you think about your last line of defense being a shotgun, that's something where either that's pretty imminent or that you can see it right there.
100%. Like, I mean, we've had shotguns and what better, you know, reach door, shoot down small UAS that's sitting there bothering me and I can't get to it. So I do think it's the gambit of counter UAS that we're actually taking a look at. And, you know, I think soldier innovation plays a lot into it.
You know, you give some kid from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, a shotgun and he's like, well, hell no. There is a dang UAS.
So I do think, you know, and especially in my realm now, soldier innovation plays a lot into it to solve problems throughout the Army because it's not always the engineer that's out there that's going to fix those problems. So a lot of soldier touch points, a lot of feedback from the force, a lot of feedback from industry, and, you know, that's how we're developing the force of the future. Nice.
You're the new porch pirate? Is that what you're doing?
I think somebody's got a place for you.
Because you've got to have some fun stuff. Yeah, so I think some of the best equipment that I've ever used has probably been – Just rifles in general. I like shooting. I like going out to the range. I like being able to get out. I like the new pistol that we've brought around. The M17? Yeah, the M17.
No, no, no, no, no. If I had to go. I like the new M17 pistol. I did take a trip up to the manufacturing factory a couple weeks ago, and it's amazing how well they're being put together. The next generation rifle, the 6.8 is... I was just going to ask what you thought about that. I think it's a big leap forward in actual ballistics.
And again, now we're probably going to get blasted by like 30 other people. But I think it's a big leap forward in ballistics and the kinetic transfer of energy. And I think really as we bring that forward,
new weapon into the army i think we're going to have increases in lethality across the army and increases in the family of uh weapon sites that are that are attached to that are going to be a big move forward so whole ngsw program was very very interesting to watch from the outside i agree with you on the ballistics the gun i'm more concerned about
But I really like the new rifle. And I think we are taking that kind of the 10X jump forward. And I think a lot of that is what we have to do now. We're in a time where we can develop, where we can make advancements and start fielding and trying new equipment. I do appreciate the Chief and the SMA's movement forward with Transforming Contact where we're experimenting.
And we're getting new equipment into soldiers' hands and letting them kind of tell us what's going on in the Army and what's working and what's not working. And then here in a while, we'll slap the table and move forward to the continuous transformation and pick some things and start moving out on them for further development.
Have not.
Yeah.
Okay.
I know I have knowledge of it, but I think it's currently a program that's being looked at.
I did not.
Super flat. Dude, super flat. It's subsonic too.
Oh, I have not.
