WATCH MAGAZINE DEPTH

“I would stand in front of the main beam, not for like an hour, but I'd stand in front of the main beam for like fifteen seconds and go zap me. It won't do anything. It won't it wouldn't do a thing to me. And I'll tell you why. You go, well, why? I mean, these microwaves, ovens, and stuff. We happen to use frequencies that are so low, they're close to kind of RF.”

“And then it gives you a really nice defense against fiber optic fiber optic drones that you've seen these in The Ukraine now. These guys are about the drones that Tethered. Tethered. Yeah. They're dark we call them dark drones because it could be fiber optic. In the future, it could be, autonomous drones that just don't use any sort of RF or any sort of global positioning or any of that in order to see where it's at and to navigate.”

“The problem we see today are like mice and little mice that are running around. And what we're doing with our big rockets and our our big defensive systems are using the same thing we would go up against lions against mice. And it's really that fundamental.”

“It basically looks for anything that has a computer board, and it uses a very high electromagnetic interference field to couple voltages onto the computer board so the computer board just basically, ceases to function. It goes to used to call this the blue screen of death when it was, like, Microsoft causing it on our computers, and we would have to unplug the computer completely and plug it back in, give it a real big reboot cycle.”

“It's this really remarkable semiconductor like silicon. Silicon is a semiconductor. It's a remarkable semiconductor that can amplify signals and withstand huge, huge power densities way, way, way better than traditional semiconductors or things that we've used before in the past. And that is really what's unlocked kind of a new class of directed energy”

“But then every drone they're on after is pennies. It's literally pennies. The fuel that it takes us to take down an individual drone cost just a few cents, $5.10, 20¢, something like that. If you combine those two, then it becomes an equation of how many drones are you taking out in a given month, in a given year, utilizing that system.”

“For the last decades, the primes have been focused on, let's say, going out and hunting a lion or lions, like big, big beasts. You know, they have to bring in the big nets, the big guns, the big whatever that they need to go hunt lions. The problem we see today are like mice and little mice that are running around.”
