In the foreground, a soldier in a VR headset controls drones with a joystick. Notable systems include Palantir’s Titan truck, aerial and underwater drones by Anduril, drones by Skydio and Shield AI, a hypersonic jet by Hermeus, autonomous ships by Saronic and Saildrone, and a drone-zapping tank by Epirus. A satellite and fighter jet fly overhead.

Now go play the game & be cozy! And please plant a catcus because these creatures warm my soul.

✨ Here is my cosy garden ✨
