Yeah, I think it was a great bet by Joe very early on to take an entirely different approach to this gallium-based semiconductor material to generate walls of energy. that actually almost act like cyber effect. So unlike it's not one-to-one where you're firing a munition against a single drone, you're really putting a wall of energy.

So it doesn't matter if it's one drone or a thousand drones, it's going to have the efficacy of being able to stop them and block them.

Yeah, it's putting up an entire wall of energy. And that is, you know, it's a very clever approach to solve the problem. I think we're going to need defense in depth with an approach like this. When you think about the UAS problem, it is a massive offset that our adversaries have against us. You know, how many million dollar missiles can you shoot at $200 drones, even $2,000 drones?

You're going to lose that equation. And so we're going to need entirely different ways of thinking about this.

Now, this challenges, so there's a question of how quickly can the force adapt these things and recognizing that you're not going to have just one answer, that you're going to actually have to have a series of answers that mean that you're not afraid of putting your destroyers into a position to be relevant anymore. And that's the greatest threat.

So when I look at Ukraine, there are really three lessons I take away. And this is one of them. The Ukrainians, people often look and say, wow, isn't it amazing that they sunk half the Russian black sea fleet, even though they don't have a Navy? And I say, no, no, no, no. It's because they didn't have a Navy.

That's how they could conceive of an entirely different force structure that had sea dues, essentially, these cheap explosive munition drones that were guidable with a Starlink. It's an entirely different conception of the problem that I think a big surface Navy could get there eventually, but it's not gonna get there as quickly or as dynamically. That's one lesson.
