****If you're talking about investing, I think PLTR is what you are looking for.****

I got love for Alex, even if he's down with Peter, but I mean on the business side/manufacturing side.

Aside from the "Dogs of War" thing - there's gotta be a way for a new entrant to literally make stuff, not just find contracts and mfrs and then arbitrage.

When you see the amount of money wasted on these Government contracts it's mind boggling. One of the reasons I left that industry completely corrupt. And they treat workers like crap.
Contractors, as usual, are raping us with these contracts. They lock in fixed price contracts and make a 40 to 50% killing in profit. These nikkas hit a lick off us like its nothing

Gotcha...


The biggest player in that space is Anduril.


And for even smaller compaines on the software side, they are using Fedstart.

It seems a growing trend is the thinking of any country can make things go boom. But he who holds the advantage on the software/tech side will be the winner in future wars.


I think this is partly playing out with Ukraine and Russia.

Yeah, I'd put my Sci-Fi hat on
  • Whoever has mastered autonomous swarming and target identification, and CHEAPLY....
  • On the counter measure side, directed electomagnetic pulse weapons

I think this is going to be the next major weapons advancement. Both offensive and defensive systems.

My sense that this is already happening in China.

All that "drones instead of fireworks" stuff. They just did that for Deadpool v Wolverine.

DJI is already the master of making those drones mad cheap, and Ukrainians been using them.

The next gen will be cheaper, faster, smaller, and more deadly (more targeted)...

Big players are gonna snatch up the software, and go for the high end...

Is there room for cats to make better carbon fiber wings and bodies?
Smaller electronics?

Just testing the parts with current off the shelf technology?

Or I dunno, cheap rocket powered nets to bring them down?

Tell us the correlation between what you do and why the DOD is losing trillions. The math has not been mathing
Cost Plus contracting. they need a new doo dad and they pay for the R and D and a production run with the profit margin baked in.

This is before the product is even designed. You could literally make up any number for the unit cost of said doo dad
