"That's a great idea, I wish I had thought of it!"

That's what Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona said when we met with him about counter-narcotics technology. With Stratus now having a presence in Rep. Schweikert's district, we've successfully gained bipartisan Congressional support for our venture.

Interestingly, Rep. Schweikert describes himself as somewhat of an ameteur engineer and has been a member of the Directed Energy Professional Society. His questions were sharp and demonstrated quick grasp of key elements of and challenges for the technology.
