Let me start with FLIR Defense: growing about 9%, essentially all product lines growing. We supply cooled, visible, and infrared detectors not only to our own drone makers but to everyone else building drones worldwide. That's the picks-and-shovels layer — we win at the sensor regardless of airframe. As airframes commoditize, value migrates to payload. Having said that, management didn't address pricing pressure on high-volume counter-drone sensors. That's not a promise of immunity. Seventy-five acquisitions in twenty-five years, mostly cash — the discipline's in the dollars.
