Mm.
97:15
Um, Guardian can fly for over an hour.
97:18
It has greater than a 60 mile an hour top speed.
97:21
Integrated Starlink, that is this panel on the top of the airframe, giving it unlimited range anywhere in the world.
97:28
Uh, I'm calling in from Seattle.
97:29
If I wanted to take Guardian off and fly it into the Pacific Ocean, that is something that I would be able to do without losing connectivity, which is pretty incredible.
97:38
We also have an amazing camera payload on this drone.

Yeah, I was wondering, uh, like, what's kind of the shape of, uh, autonomy in, in response drones? Like, how important is this? Um, is this, like, getting autonomy much better? Is that, like, a big bottleneck to, to, to selling more of these, or how do you think about that?
23:17
So, Blake, how are you seeing AI play out in your role as the CEO in particular? Yeah.
23:23
Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing it accelerate software development in particular.
23:28
You know, cloud software development, which, you know, we have to do a lot of because that's the primary interface that our customers utilize to actually pilot our aircraft, but also embedded software development.
23:40
I mean, there is a ton of software that runs... locally on compute that is embedded inside our aircraft.
23:47
And AI is pretty good at helping us develop all of that too.
23:52
It's been very material and noticeable to our speed of R&D just broadly.
24:31
Are you seeing any kind of downsides, things that you are worried about in terms of your overall productivity as an organization or things on the horizon that might be causes for concern?
24:41
Well, one thing I'll call out is There are a lot of companies that are working on generative AI for hardware specifically, like AI that can draw CAD or help with PCBA layout, et cetera.
158:18
Yes.
158:18
Uh, this right here is a small LIDAR.
158:20
It generates about a half a million points per second.
158:22
So as this aircraft is clearing rooms, it's actually drawing a floor plan of the structure and then streaming it back live to first responders.
158:29
It this-
JordyHOST
161:04
Yeah.
161:04
And then when it arrives, it streams back a live video feed of whatever is going on, so first responders know exactly what they're about to walk into.
161:10
It has an onboard thermal imager, so it can see heat.
