…Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The program is currently in Phase 2, with the objective to complete design, construction, ground testing and certification on an X-plane demonstrator. X-plane program details Swift said it will provide design and manufacturing services for the production of a composites-based fuselage for the vehicle. These materials from Swift are designed to be lightweight, strong,…

…arms and capabilities. Things with DARPA and NASA. They took all that robotic expertise and experience and they learned. And from that learning, they identified: ‘Hey, this closed-loop automation can actually enable us,’ rather than focusing on scaling hardware, which is hard to scale on all hardware that exists. If you think about that, this market really opens up, because…
