WEBVTT 00:00:00.031 -- 00:00:05.456 But as you know, you know, the budget process takes time to work its way through Congress, 00:00:05.456 -- 00:00:10.001 and we hope to have, you know, more insights in the coming quarters there. 00:00:10.001 -- 00:00:12.964 And certainly you can read the comments 00:00:12.964 -- 00:00:17.366 from Secretary Hegseth and others with respect to direct energy. 00:00:17.728 -- 00:00:18.128 Got it. 00:00:17.949 -- 00:00:23.154 And just as a quick follow-up, the product there, or the Hays scalable 00:00:23.154 -- 00:00:28.419 kind of high-energy lasers family that you launched, I guess, today, 00:00:28.419 -- 00:00:33.209 and Can you talk a little bit about, you know, just kind of the positioning there versus 00:00:33.209 -- 00:00:36.180 kind of some of your other products, just, you know, how you're thinking of that? 00:00:36.180 -- 00:00:37.375 Thanks. 00:00:37.375 -- 00:00:42.159 Yeah, thanks for asking that.
