Why? Why is this a thing?

..."and destroy a wide variety of aerial threats"...

Okay, but what/who is the root problem that created this company to solve this issue? The either real or perceived threats that the United States and its media affiliations have concocted has really put a tamper on its own ability to make policy decisions that benefit its own peoples. We are spending BILLIONS of dollars on wars in other countries WHILE neglecting our own. Why do we need another private company help with this?

Another question for a separate answer: why can't we spend that money on domestic issues?

Seemed pretty clear to me. Drones are a dime a dozen. Drone defense is disproportionately costly. This product's goal is to protect from drone attacks without wasting a bunch of million-dollar missiles.

Regardless of one's feelings on the military-industrial complex, the use case seems relatively straightforward.
