The landscape of modern technology is undergoing a massive shift, and if you have ever wondered how the worlds of high-stakes defense and commercial industry are colliding, you won’t want to miss our latest video.

For years, the defense sector was often associated with unlimited budgets and famously overpriced hardware. However, those days are over. Today, cost is a critical component of modern warfare. We are seeing a move away from precious, expensive machinery toward tactical-grade solutions that are not only low-cost but, in many cases, disposable.

In this video, we dive into how this change is impacting manufacturing at every level. Whether it is building loitering munitions, disposable drones, or sophisticated aiming systems for every individual rifle in the field, the requirement remains the same: it must be affordable and producible at a massive scale. We are no longer just talking about navigation systems for a single jet or missile; we are looking at solutions for millions of units.

This shift isn’t just for the military, either. Commercial markets are demanding the same high-level performance at a fraction of the traditional cost. We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, providing the tactical-grade technology that fits these new economic constraints perfectly.

Join us as we explore how these innovations are meeting the needs of today’s warfighters and commercial customers alike. Watch the full video to see how we are helping our customers navigate this new reality.

What’s happening with the business today is we are coming to market, or we have come to market, with tactical-grade solutions at a low price that just happens to be timed perfectly with the way the market is shifting right now. From a commercial standpoint, everything needs to be lower cost. From a defense standpoint, things actually need to be disposable. And we’ve got the only solution that fits within that new market for both commercial and defense customers.

So, if you look at the defense market in particular, for a long time people would joke about how cost was never an issue with the Department of Defense and the $10,000 toilets and the $900 wrench and things like that. That has completely changed. Now, cost is actually a huge component of modern warfare, and everything is starting to reflect that. 

So when we talk to defense customers now, it’s about building a low-cost, disposable drone, building loitering munitions, creating super sophisticated warfighter aiming and engagement systems that reflect these new cost constraints of modern warfare.

1:17 Cost-Effective, Reliable Systems

Everything has to be super cheap, super accurate because now you’re not just producing a navigation system for a missile or a jet. You’re doing it for thousands, millions of drones, or for every rifle that goes out in the field for the unmounted warfighter. Now you have to produce low-cost, tactical-grade navigational systems that are producible at volume and are affordable within these new cost constraints. That’s what everyone is doing right now. That’s what the majority of our customers are coming to us with right now.
