[01:38:44] S0: Yeah. And so, especially as as the war in Ukraine has evolved, distances have gotten longer, targets have gotten harder to identify, and also smaller and less valuable the closer to the frontline you are. So the main Russian tactic now for making advancement is guys on foot or motorcycles, and that's because anything of value like a tank is just instantly destroyed by by drones. And even, you know, these these smaller targets are are also instantly destroyed by drones, but you have a bit higher chance of if you're really fast and nimble. There are, you know, smarter ways of doing end to end autonomous missions, and and I'm excited about those. But you don't wanna remove the warfighter's ability to control the system, because at the end of the day, you know, the human warfighter is is like the thing that we value and it's the the it's the decision maker and and again, the the the precision control element is really important. So we we've worked a lot on that. As we move forward, we're thinking about how we give leverage to that person. How do we make it so they can effectively control multiple systems at once? How can they... For the targets where you don't need to manually pilot it into the exact spot, just say, you know, click click here, go there. That is all stuff that we're we're working on, so I think the future is gonna look like each warfighter able to do more and the barrier for entry being much lower. So part of the problem with FPV systems is that they're quite hard to use. There's a lot of nuance in using them, so you compare like a DJI drone versus an FPV drone. Basically, anyone can fly a DJI drone out of the box, and it just works. You don't have to do anything to it. And then you move over to an FPV system, it's like...

[01:40:59] S1: You need a highly skilled pilot? [01:41:01] S0: Yeah. Like if I told you to go charge my FPV drone battery, you would not do it correctly. Like the settings on the chart, you know, this is such a specific... It's like, that's the level of detail and nuance that exists in the systems right now that should go away. So it will become much easier over time if we do our job correctly for these systems to be widely distributed and, you know, easy for every warfighter to take advantage of.
