Management Comments
Ben Wolff
The second quarter was another quarter where we delivered on our stated plan. Revenue grew substantially again, both year over year and sequentially vs Q1, and we continued to win new business across all of our operations. Our plan for this year has been straightforward from the start. We had spent years building the underlying autonomy technology. With the acquisitions we completed in November, we became a vertically integrated, autonomy-based defense technology company, with the engineering, manufacturing and program capability that laid the groundwork for what we announced on June 8. That announcement, our partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries, the largest Israeli defense company and pioneer of the loitering munition category more than 40 years ago, was a major step forward for us. This partnership gives us exclusive U.S. rights to a family of combat-proven systems, the HARPY, HAROP and Mini HARPY, that fill gaps in the U.S. arsenal for which there is no direct domestic equivalent. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested by others in this space, no other company has replicated what this family of loitering munitions systems delivers, particularly when it comes to battle-tested capabilities to suppress and destroy enemy air defenses. This partnership, together with the battlefield exercises we participated in this past quarter with SwarmOS™ and Gremlin-X™ and the first large purchase of our BRAIN flight computer by a defense prime for use on a counter-UAS system, has given us even greater optimism about the long-term prospects for our aerospace and defense business.
