Here's a rundown of the report.

他補充道：「我們暫停了Teal 2的生產，以重新配置黑寡婦，優先考慮長期增長而非短期營業收入。這一策略已證明成功，使我們能夠滿足新的陸軍合同及所有其他黑寡婦銷售和記錄項目的需求，同時通過我們的紅貓期貨倡議合作伙伴管理關鍵的科技整合。我們現在處於滿足這些需求的良好位置。」

"We are also pleased to announce our partnership with Palantir. With Palantir's Artificial Intelligence and visual navigation, we believe the Black Widow is one of the most capable drones ever fielded by the Department of Defense. This rucksack-portable drone, powered by Palantir's software, will boost revenue per drone and increase gross margins," Thompson said.
湯普森表示：「我們還很高興地宣佈與Palantir的合作。憑藉Palantir的人工智能和可視化導航，我們相信黑寡婦是國防部所部署的最強大的無人機之一。這款揹包便攜式無人機，由Palantir的軟件驅動，將提高每架無人機的營業收入並增加毛利率。」
