And you don't end up in these situations like with the frigate where you buy the frigate, you make a bunch of changes along the way, and you realize it won't float. The whole thing is for naught because you didn't start with the software-based approach. What about the boat? Yeah.

The same concepts apply to surface vessels and submersibles and to airframes, actually, where you're really thinking about, our big challenge in the Pacific is, how do we get inside the weapon engagement zone? The enemy has been able to really build up a lot of air defenses and hypersonics, and they can threaten and hold us at risk when we're inside of this engagement zone.

We don't have sufficient defenses. So maybe we need to build a bunch of relatively attributable, but certainly autonomous systems that don't have risk to force. that enable us to do the sensing we need to create the maneuver space we need.

And so there with Tenebris, it's really about using commoditized approaches to building ships so that we're not reliant on an industrial base that can't absorb more capacity and adding the mission-specific payloads that are highly exquisite and highly classified and modular at the point of need. And using that as, you know, it's not just about this ship

or this family of ships, but really a family of capabilities, whether it's space, air, sea, land, that give you this sort of software-defined approach to warfare.

I think software is a unique American strength, and it really comes down to culture. Look, there are smart people everywhere in the world. But think about it this way. There are zero Indian enterprise software companies that are competitive on the world stage. There are zero Chinese enterprise software companies. Europe only has a handful, and they're a pretty legacy. So what is it about...

America that we have all this software expertise. And it's cultural. Sometimes people look at Silicon Valley and they think, maybe we imported this culture from India or Israel. We didn't. We imported it from Iowa. It came from Bob Noyce, who is the co-founder of Intel, the co-inventor of the transistor.

And it comes from a Midwestern culture, a willingness to play positive sum games, open communication, transparency, a belief in working together. He brought that with him. The word open door policy, Noyce coined that. It's a Noycism. There's a way in which Silicon Valley doesn't even understand how much we are the progeny of this noise and this noise in culture.
