00:19What we're seeing is just a hyper growth, basically driven by two things. One, just the needs for
00:25these new products. Like if you look right now, we don't have anything like Fury and so there's
00:29a new need that we are filling in. And then two, a lot of the areas that we're getting
00:34into and it's really being driven by the needs of modern conflict is like, how do we bring
00:38scale? Like there is a quality to quantity on its own. And so how do we actually go do
00:44that? Which just means like producing at higher volumes than has traditionally been done for
00:49these products within the defense space. Fury is part of the CCA program, so collaborative
00:55combat aircraft. Basically it's a force multiplier, so autonomous aircraft that can actually support
01:00our existing air fleet, especially as they go into conflict. BANDRIL is fundamentally doing
01:05is looking at where is the need, especially where we are starting to bring new technology,
01:10integrating software with hardware. So if you look at an autonomous aircraft, it's really
01:13sitting in that sweet spot. And so like this is a capability and we're delivering to an
01:18Air Force program, but the reality is we see this need just in conflicts in general.
