### Key Quotes
> We’ve always believed that affordable mass isn’t just about building cheaper drones. It’s about delivering more effects from the same platform. Cerberus MI was designed around that principle — a reusable, reloadable direct-fire UAS with an expanding weapon ecosystem, using standard ammunition to deliver low cost per shot and greater magazine depth. Being added to the Blue UAS Cleared List is an important milestone as we continue bringing this capability to U.S. warfighters,
> — Adrian Dudok, CEO USA

> Cerberus MI was engineered as a reusable platform with a modular architecture that allows the capability to evolve over time. From expanding direct-fire weapon integrations to advancing autonomy and AI through our EXITUS software, our focus has been on building a system that can adapt to emerging operational requirements without continually replacing the underlying hardware,
> — Michael Creagh, CEO APAC
