Mach Product Thesis (Pulled from internal documents)

Areas to drive value in DoD

See - position a sensor of a certain type in three dimensional space for a given amount of time

Talk - transfer data to other systems

Move/Power - change the position of matter a certain way

Shoot - deliver energy to a target

Means of assessing cost in DoD

Monetary Cost - $ for dollar, are we winning

Manufacturability - how long do these take to make, and how many can we make

Human impact - what is the human burden of these systems, either loss of life, or significant manpower requirements

Logistics burden - what does it take to sustain and deploy something

Employment risk - excitation, collateral, friendly fire

Relevant system characteristics

Survivability

Speed

Effect

Duration

Range

Reusability/Maintenance

Mach assessment guidelines

Does it drive customer value on a specific and relevant mission set

Does a revenue stream exist for fulfilling this mission set

Are other people looking to fill this same mission set

What is the extent of the development burdens

Do these burdens track towards our longterm tech stack

Mach long term core competencies

Elite flexible manufacture

Large composites aircraft dominance

World class propulsion

Rapid and effective embedded software and analysis execution

Rapid, minimalist mechanical design team

Pre Series-C areas to excel

UAS hardware rapid design and capex efficient manufacture

Rapid push to functional prototype on big product bets

Laying systems/personel/culture for long term competencies

Big Long Term Product Bets (10yr)

Combustion VTOL manned aircraft

Balloons

Hydrogen guns

Mass manufacturable unmanned systems

Air

Sea
