What businesses and commerce are you seeing make use of that test base at the moment?
8:06
So, yeah, right now it's mostly our primary work is with the Tulsa Fire Department, Oklahoma State University, different organizations that are just now starting to get testing with us.
8:17
Skyway Range is also interested in and we are building facilities to encourage manufacturing and testing there at the range in Oklahoma.
8:27
But, yeah, we are also building facilities.
8:30
uh working with tulsa innovation labs and the state of oklahoma multiple organizations to build this system called safe t what it is is a a system of radar adsb remote id we are providing to what's called uas service suppliers so if there is a company that wants to do drone delivery they are going to subscribe to a what's called a USS, UAS service supplier, to be able to schedule their drone operations.
9:04
These service suppliers will take the data that we are providing, that radar, ADS-B, and remote ID, and use that to potentially de-conflict drone operations around the city of Tulsa and the metropolitan area there.
9:18
So... it's really a way for detect and avoid type of situations the radar is to detect what's called non-cooperative aircraft so somebody that's not on adsb we're using adsb which is a requirement for all aircraft to transmit adsb out and the remote id drones are required to have remote id on there so Those three data feeds will be fused into one picture that the USSs will be able to provide to the operators that way.
