$OUST popping +8.7% today on a fresh European defense partnership. They’re supplying their new Rev8 digital lidars to Argus Interception, a tight German counter-UAS startup founded by ex-military guys. Argus makes the A1-Falke, an autonomous interceptor drone that shoots nets to catch rogue UAVs over airports and critical sites without dropping debris. They’re integrating Ouster’s lidar for high-precision 3D color sensing and close-range tracking right before engagement. Neither side dropped the exact contract size, but here’s how the napkin math likely looks: ✅ Custom Rev8 industrial lidars run roughly $4k–$8k a pop retail, probably scaled down to $3k–$5k on wholesale integration. ✅ Argus is still early-stage/low-volume production. Assuming a pilot batch of 100–300 drone units for their initial European infrastructure/police contracts, hardware spend lands around $500k to $1.5M. ✅ Throw in NRE (non-recurring engineering) fees for software integration and engineering support, and we’re probably looking at a total deal value of $1M to $2.5M for this phase. Not a massive needle-mover today for Ouster ($185M+ annual revenue run-rate), but it’s a critical foot in the door for Euro defense/counter-drone tech—a sector getting absolutely flooded with capital right now. If Argus scales their NATO-side deployments, this turns into a highly repeatable multi-million dollar component funnel for $OUST

$UAVS took some in spec size. Think #Drones ready to wake up and this one could do stupid meme stuff.

$UAVS' eBee VISION UAS is now an active listing for purchase by the @USArmy on their newly launched UAS Marketplace, which is a digital platform developed in partnership with @awscloud and the Army Enterprise Cloud Management Agency. All branches of the U.S. military and the Department of War can utilize the new UAS Marketplace for more timely and efficient capability acquisition. Read more: bit.ly/42SoOjt

Carnegie & Druckenmiller note that by betting big on a few high-conviction ideas and monitoring them relentlessly you can make outsized returns. $LPTH is such a trade. If you're wondering why it was up 19% on Friday and up another 10% this morning...its bc lots of circumstantial evidence points to @lightpathtech & @LockheedMartin having won the NGSRI Army contract. You wont find this kind of info on @Bloomberg until it happens and the move has already been made. You'll only find it if you obsessively follow a stock and do the DD to understand and connect the dots to give you an edge. Someday AI will take this away from us...but not yet.

The @lightpathtech CEO congratulating @LockheedMartin on their NGSRI website isn’t subtle but IS much appreciated 😉 All signs point to the fact that @LockheedMartin has likely won the NGSRI contract given this new website and recent NGSRI related hiring listings. If so, look out for a $LPTH rerating. If won, @lightpathtech will become the @LockheedMartin supplier of the advanced thermal camera systems used to support the Army’s NGSRI missile program. If won, $LPTH likely to generate an additional $50-100m in long term revenue. @BussinBiotech has a great chronology thread on the NGSRI timeline here: x.com/BussinBiotech/…

Speaking of Serbia and drone production… They have their own version of $elst TIKAD 🦅 of prey - Serbian IKA-14 drone features a fully stabilized, remote-controlled mount carrying a M21 machine gun, capable of recoil mitigation for precision fire. Conceptually identical to $DUKR but maybe they’ll switch thedefensepost.com/2026/05/20/ser…

Shame to see a bunch of “paid partnerships” for certain drone tickers - if you can’t build authentic education and trust around your platform you’ll prob end up extinct Too much shilling right now

Makes sense - a battlefield of highly flammable autonomous drones need quick extinguishing and cleanup.
Jawwwn@jawwwn_

.@PalmerLuckey says Anduril’s first prototype, a firefighting tank, now sits under a tarp because political reasons shut it down: “It could carry several tons of fire retardant and be used to protect critical infrastructure.” “We built two fully working prototypes.” “There were really strong unions that didn’t want robots to automate their jobs.” “The governor was told if they funded this and procured it, the union would oppose him in the upcoming election.”

The next leg of connectivity demand is bringing billions of people & devices online where fiber, towers & last-mile backhaul cannot scale economically. About 2.6 billion people still don't use the internet & 77% live in places where terrestrial telecom infrastructure doesn't work. That is the TAM that $ASTS & $SPCX Starlink are built around.

SpaceX will be one of the most important IPOs of my lifetime. Yes the valuation is aggressive but few companies sit directly across three massive themes at the same time in space infrastructure, global connectivity & AI compute. Three trillion-dollar themes under one ticker.
