As a dual-use company, we aim to create products that can function across different sectors without extensive modifications, which ultimately reduces costs.

In the defense sector, we work across various verticals, using the same products for both defense and commercial applications, which helps subsidize expensive technologies.

The current defense procurement system is overly complex and needs to be simplified to allow for more effective and timely innovation.

The future of manufacturing will shift back to various parts of the world as robotics and AI reduce reliance on cheap labor, making production more efficient and cost-effective.

The U.S. must focus on combining mass production capabilities with advanced software and autonomy to compete effectively in future conflicts.

To compete with China in global manufacturing, we need to leverage software, AI, and robotics to empower American workers and enable faster, cheaper production.

The next frontier in defense technology is demonstrating that we can produce systems at scales that the traditional defense industry does not recognize, aiming for thousands or tens of thousands of units.

Cheap labor is a crutch that inhibits innovation, as companies may opt for lower costs instead of investing in new technologies and processes, while outsourcing factories led to cheaper goods but devalued American workers and increased dependence on adversarial trade partners like China.

The current administration is focused on efficiency, making it a pivotal time for dual-use technology, which allows us to leverage commercial advancements to subsidize defense work.
