First of all, thank you for your kind words.
At Sentinel, we build on a legacy of trade secrets, talent and legacy in composite manufacturing. Between Windsor and Montreal, we have one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world. We have the know-how, especially in the type of manufacturing we do, to secure the supply chain in order to scale a company like ours.
We focus on what we call a payload-agnostic drone, meaning you can put whatever you'd like on it. What we've learned on the ground in Ukraine is that the vast majority of first-person view drones that are being used in attacks are retrofitted commercial drones. We see that they have moved from being something that can fly a few feet, a few hundred feet, to several kilometres to hundreds of kilometres.
We have kept an eye on that space. In fact, our chief technical officer was spying on Russia in Telegram channels for 18 months keeping an eye keenly on this space and their manufacturing techniques, capabilities and success against Ukraine in order to field the kind of technology we would develop.
We also see that there is a massive influx of drone production, particularly in the vertical takeoff and landing space and the small drone landscape. We need something that bridges the gap between the aforementioned SkyGuardian and these small DJI quadcopters. We have chosen that mid-sized landscape to focus on.
Besides our cost and our payload agnosticity, we also have a very good performance. Our drone was originally developed in order to be able to dodge and weave in very sophisticated fashions that I have not seen in any other UAVs with similar capabilities, period.
