Short answer: Ryan Aytay says Code Metal is trusted by the Air Force and built a platform with the military that brings data silos together with code translation and a simulation engine for war gaming, which also applies to logistics or F1.

Ryan Aytay [11:16]: I think there's maybe two things I would talk about. The first would be, we work with different types of, we'll call it the Department of Defense or Department of War, pick your term for that. But, in certain cases there are of course a lot of and I have to be a little bit careful so I don't kinda go into too much detail. But you can imagine, like we're trusted by the Air Force, which I think is a fantastic thing. But ultimately, know in these environments there's a lot of different data. There's different data silos that have been set up. There's data that's been around for years. There's newer data. But ultimately, when we're in a world where there is sort of this concept of we'll call modeling and simulation of like what actually happens, if let's say scenario a happens and this other scenario happens, like it's a war gaming effort, right, over time. It's a modeling and simulation effort.
Ryan Aytay [12:10]: And, we have worked closely with the military to basically build what we call a platform. It's called war matrix, which ultimately is something that kinda brings in the different, data modules or call them silos, if you will, and bring that data together. Of course, that brings some of our, code translation, modernization, and integration together and then build a simulation engine on that, of course, which is powered by many different things. But it allows, I think, for a pretty robust experience so that you can go through and do quite accurate and real life scenarios of like, well, and again, don't wanna go too deep, but like, if this happens, then this happens. Right? And again, I can't give you like specific examples quite at this point. You wouldn't want me to anyways. But really that, so modeling and simulation is relevant, of course, for a military environment. It could be relevant for, logistics environment. It could be, relevant for even like a sporting environment, like an F1 scenario.
Ryan Aytay [13:12]: There are many different scenarios where modeling and simulation become important, but you can't really do it well if you don't bring the data together and you don't do it in a way that makes it, fully translated and kind of all in one experience. So that's that's one thing we do. I would say the other thing we do if we go back to like the translation, modernization and optimization component where we verify things using formal methods and a number of the different, test suite functions that we have. And we work with a lot of, call it defense companies. Right?
