Technology exploration now is to look at ways to bring electrooptical sensors into this architecture beyond that opir sensor, that Missile Warning sensor that kicks these things off. And were going to do that by capitalizing on the work thats being done in industry today. Both on sensors, as well as on building Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that fly at very high at attitudes. A High Altitude platform is also key to one of the other investments we want to make. So if we go back just a few years here, we made a big bet on airborne layser in the light 90s and early 2000s.
