00:00.349 --> 00:02.405
Secor pushed out the drone dominance

00:02.405 --> 00:04.610
memo Xor memo , which then followed

00:04.610 --> 00:07.190
into an HQDAXor for drone dominance ,

00:07.650 --> 00:09.483
directing all of these vendors ,

00:09.850 --> 00:11.961
directing the army to stand up a what

00:11.961 --> 00:13.906
is called the gauntlet , the drone

00:13.906 --> 00:15.850
dominance gauntlet , so all of the

00:15.850 --> 00:17.961
vendors can compete in flyoffs . From

00:17.961 --> 00:20.149
there , they get selected by a panel

00:20.690 --> 00:23.149
with all of their judging criteria . So

00:23.290 --> 00:25.512
our team was brought out , was selected

00:25.512 --> 00:27.623
because of our close relation to Toby

00:27.623 --> 00:29.790
Hanna , Picatinny Arsenal , and all of

00:29.790 --> 00:31.957
the work we've been doing . Already in

00:31.957 --> 00:34.080
this space and that basically once

00:34.080 --> 00:36.191
these systems come through Toby Hanna

00:36.191 --> 00:38.419
for the original QC , they come here

00:38.799 --> 00:41.000
and our team gets the set . We go

00:41.000 --> 00:43.056
through it and we start building out

00:43.056 --> 00:45.056
basically everything from a bill of

00:45.056 --> 00:47.111
materials , what comes in a box . We

00:47.111 --> 00:49.333
take all the pictures for it , and then

00:49.333 --> 00:51.389
we get the net training , we get new

00:51.389 --> 00:53.444
equipment training from the vendor ,

00:53.444 --> 00:55.667
and then our job is to then train all .

00:55.667 --> 00:58.150
All of active duty as well as some of

00:58.150 --> 01:00.261
National Guard as well that have been

01:00.261 --> 01:02.372
selected for this . With all of these

01:02.372 --> 01:04.539
changes coming , um , we're looking at

01:04.539 --> 01:07.360
a facility that is going to be

01:07.360 --> 01:09.638
significantly more technology advanced ,

01:09.760 --> 01:12.160
right ? Um , 6 months ago , we didn't

01:12.160 --> 01:14.400
have 3D printers , we didn't have the

01:14.400 --> 01:16.400
soldering stations , we didn't have

01:16.400 --> 01:18.879
even just the simple like our classroom

01:18.879 --> 01:22.239
space was limited . Um , we're with all

01:22.239 --> 01:24.919
of the help of EETS and Big Army as we

01:24.919 --> 01:27.086
are building a National Guard bureau ,

01:27.086 --> 01:29.197
as we're building this facility out ,

01:29.197 --> 01:31.363
we're building it so that everybody is

01:31.363 --> 01:33.086
going to get a better level of

01:33.086 --> 01:35.040
education . We truly are trying to

01:35.040 --> 01:37.230
embrace the , we're building smarter

01:37.230 --> 01:39.480
soldiers , uh , for the future army ,

01:39.599 --> 01:41.821
but we want to host a drone competition

01:41.821 --> 01:43.877
here next year with TAGs Directive ,

01:43.879 --> 01:45.990
and we're going to start looking at ,

01:45.990 --> 01:48.212
we're currently working with recruiting

01:48.212 --> 01:50.379
battalions to start . Looking at a few

01:50.379 --> 01:49.786
high schools that we'll be going

01:49.786 --> 01:52.585
through and working with to build out

01:52.585 --> 01:54.752
innovation systems , whether that be a

01:54.752 --> 01:56.918
ground vehicle or a drone , as well as

01:56.918 --> 01:59.865
possibly hosting the first FPV race

01:59.865 --> 02:02.346
team racecourse here for that . I think

02:02.346 --> 02:04.536
Pennsylvania has already written its

02:04.536 --> 02:06.536
name in stone . In fact , there's a

02:06.536 --> 02:08.480
plaque , whole trophy down in Fort

02:08.480 --> 02:10.592
Rucker right now for Claude that says

02:10.592 --> 02:12.758
we've written our name in that stone ,

02:12.758 --> 02:15.092
um , proving the fact that we're moving .

02:15.092 --> 02:17.092
In the right direction , um , as we

02:17.092 --> 02:19.147
continue to field systems across the

02:19.147 --> 02:21.092
forest in Pennsylvania , um , this

02:21.092 --> 02:23.203
facility is the location where we can

02:23.203 --> 02:25.203
assist , train , and help build out

02:25.203 --> 02:27.314
mission tactics and TTPs for specific

02:27.314 --> 02:29.314
missions . We'll continue to assist

02:29.314 --> 02:31.536
those units and assist the force across

02:31.536 --> 02:33.647
the state to build their mission sets

02:33.647 --> 02:35.592
out and understand not only how to

02:35.592 --> 02:37.647
operate their UAS but understand the

02:37.647 --> 02:39.758
threat that the UAS will pose to them

02:39.758 --> 02:40.462
in the future as well .
