So we do have that direct contact with Navy SOCOM now. Um, I requested that we apply for a project now, and that, um, their representative was nodding her head and said it was— they're actually surprised this discussion hasn't happened yet. And I, um, jokingly, not so jokingly, said, well, we I have no idea what you all are doing out there. But they said that they're very receptive to that and would clearly sponsor it. Senator Sullivan's senior staffer for defense liaison folks was in the room as well.
