So talk a little bit more about how innovation is reshaping this battlefield, I guess we could say.

Oscar, you've touched upon a really critical issue here.
7:16
In every military conflict, there are new lessons learned, which serves as a catalyst for change, and one of the big developments in recent conflicts has been the rise of attritable weapons.
7:27
So that's a key term we should probably focus on a bit.
7:30
What are attritable weapons? So these are low-cost, mass-produced, almost always unmanned weapons.
7:37
They are lower cost because they often use commercially available, inexpensive, off-the-shelf components.
7:42
They're also usually engineered to be just good enough, not perfect.
11:43
I'm curious what stood out from that experience, and how are these startups changing the pace and cost of innovation compared to some of the more traditional and incumbent firms?
