The GP's network of strategic partners includes Fortune 500 companies such as SAIC, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and many others who operate in our targeted markets. These companies have shown a willingness to acquire technologies that serve both their immediate and longer-term strategic interest. To gain an insight into what types of technologies are needed in the future, we take the time to actively engage our partners to review their technology and business development roadmaps. This process, to some extent, predicts what technologies will be needed in short and longer-term. By engaging these companies we are able to insure that we are investing right technologies.
