So software and software contracts work in defense, even though some people say it is impossible, it clearly is possible. However, there are some areas where software needs to have a hardware carrier. With a Eurofighter, we have a combat aircraft as a carrier, and that's great, and we're not building a Eurofighter.

But with drones, you need to think about drones differently in order for them to have the effect that you want them to have, which is basically precise mass. So you want to be able to have a large number of drones, extremely precise, to provide a deterrent that doesn't exist at the moment. And so for that, you need to have large numbers of drones.

You need to have the ability to manufacture those drones in a way that isn't the case right now. Most drone companies right now build small numbers of quite exquisite drones. They're quite expensive, sometimes a bit of a boutique business where people really care about the hardware and the carbon and everything else. But that's not what we need. What we need is really scaled up production.

And so when we looked at what's required in terms of capability, we couldn't, certainly on the Western market, we couldn't find anyone who was able to produce these large numbers. And so that's when we started to look at, can we build these kinds of drones ourselves? And can we think about it differently from a software first point of view?

meaning that we can shift a lot of the complexity from hardware into software. We can simplify the hardware, and we can manufacture it in much larger numbers at lower prices. And that's what we did with the HX2, which we just announced a couple of days ago.

It is and it isn't. So it is in that there are many areas where you need to have hardware experts. And we've built an amazing team that obviously deals with things like the design, the components, but also the supply chain. And that's different from software. But you can think about hardware as software as well. You can optimize a lot of parts of hardware by shifting complexity into software.

And you can also test hardware in software. And so we spend a lot of time building infrastructure for the entire company around simulation platforms, for example, AI infrastructure platforms, et cetera. And some of that technology is also applicable to hardware. So we've developed our drones extremely fast and we've tested them extremely fast.
