00:03.740 --> 00:06.670
imagine this . You're on a mission with

00:06.670 --> 00:08.726
your team in the middle of nowhere .

00:08.726 --> 00:10.448
You have a tough job ahead and

00:10.448 --> 00:12.559
unfamiliar territory and the space to

00:12.559 --> 00:14.781
take what you need is limited . What do

00:14.781 --> 00:16.948
you cut fuel ? Water tools , teammates

00:16.948 --> 00:19.490
is your choice the right choice . By

00:19.490 --> 00:21.601
this point . Many of us have heard of

00:21.601 --> 00:23.546
agile combat employment or the ace

00:23.546 --> 00:25.490
concept . We have small teams with

00:25.490 --> 00:27.434
small footprints to accomplish big

00:27.434 --> 00:29.490
tasks . Those small ace teams set up

00:29.490 --> 00:31.490
forward operating locations , which

00:31.490 --> 00:33.434
require an energy intensive supply

00:33.434 --> 00:35.546
chain to keep the mission alive . The

00:35.546 --> 00:35.140
most precious resource we have in

00:35.140 --> 00:37.362
mission planning is palette space pilot

00:37.362 --> 00:39.418
space determines what stays and what

00:39.418 --> 00:41.362
goes , but resources like fuel and

00:41.362 --> 00:43.584
water are not negotiable . We have many

00:43.584 --> 00:45.680
needs and limited space project Ark

00:45.680 --> 00:47.791
Water is a green , lightweight mobile

00:47.791 --> 00:50.013
package that fuses together several off

00:50.013 --> 00:52.069
the shelf commercial technologies to

00:52.069 --> 00:54.069
solve these logistical challenges .

00:54.069 --> 00:54.020
This means that instead of using

00:54.020 --> 00:56.131
palette space for fuel and water , we

00:56.131 --> 00:58.020
can take a wider range of tools ,

00:58.020 --> 01:00.131
equipment and ammunition with us . We

01:00.131 --> 01:02.242
reduced the fuel footprint by using a

01:02.242 --> 01:04.464
highly efficient solar fabric . Even in

01:04.464 --> 01:06.298
the twilight hours , we're still

01:06.298 --> 01:08.464
generating some power . We reduced the

01:08.464 --> 01:10.687
water footprint by using an atmospheric

01:10.687 --> 01:09.990
water harvester to create drinkable

01:09.990 --> 01:12.212
water from the environment and even the

01:12.212 --> 01:14.101
humidity in the air . Sparks . We

01:14.101 --> 01:16.101
bootstrapped our own prototype . We

01:16.101 --> 01:18.212
tested it . It works and this is what

01:18.212 --> 01:20.212
we found A traditional three day 30

01:20.212 --> 01:22.323
person operation typically cost close

01:22.323 --> 01:24.212
to $40,000 in sustainment costs .

01:24.212 --> 01:26.379
That's everything you need to keep the

01:26.379 --> 01:28.490
mission fueled and watered . Once arc

01:28.490 --> 01:30.490
water becomes the new normal , that

01:30.490 --> 01:30.240
same package will provide the same

01:30.240 --> 01:32.296
combat capability but we're spending

01:32.296 --> 01:34.650
just under 600 Leaders that represents

01:34.650 --> 01:37.410
a 98% cost reduction . That reduction

01:37.410 --> 01:39.521
is possible because we're using up to

01:39.521 --> 01:41.466
83% less fuel and we are no longer

01:41.466 --> 01:43.688
paying for water . We're returning over

01:43.688 --> 01:45.799
half of the pilot positions on a C130

01:45.799 --> 01:47.632
cargo plane to you . The mission

01:47.632 --> 01:49.850
planners . The power setup is 96%

01:49.850 --> 01:52.130
quicker and the whole package is 78%

01:52.130 --> 01:54.019
lighter than how we conduct a sop

01:54.019 --> 01:56.241
orations today . In other words , we're

01:56.241 --> 01:58.186
not shipping in sustainment fuel .

01:58.186 --> 02:00.408
Additionally , arc water generated over

02:00.408 --> 02:02.463
10 gallons of water per day per team

02:02.463 --> 02:04.408
member . This replaces a pallet of

02:04.408 --> 02:06.630
water every six days . In other words ,

02:06.630 --> 02:05.680
we are no longer shipping in

02:05.680 --> 02:07.902
sustainment water . That's a $9 million

02:07.902 --> 02:11.250
sop orations air force wide . We are

02:11.250 --> 02:13.139
asking our air force to assign an

02:13.139 --> 02:15.361
office of primary responsibility and to

02:15.361 --> 02:17.139
fund projects . Park water with

02:17.139 --> 02:19.170
$400,000 . That $400,000 gives us

02:19.170 --> 02:20.948
enough money to fully build and

02:20.948 --> 02:23.003
configure one system within one year

02:23.003 --> 02:25.226
and our goal is to make one easy way to

02:25.226 --> 02:27.059
order for any unit that wants an

02:27.059 --> 02:29.170
upgrade . There are some upfront cost

02:29.170 --> 02:31.170
but in just 20 missions we can make

02:31.170 --> 02:33.337
that money back . Arc water can easily

02:33.337 --> 02:35.448
shift laterally in and outside of the

02:35.448 --> 02:34.720
Department of Defense to support

02:34.720 --> 02:36.442
humanitarian aid and emergency

02:36.442 --> 02:38.664
management operations . Sparks , we buy

02:38.664 --> 02:40.887
fuel to fly fuel to transport fuel just

02:40.887 --> 02:42.831
to burn that fuel . If you help us

02:42.831 --> 02:44.776
succeed , our Air Force can win by

02:44.776 --> 02:45.660
having Mother Nature joined the team .
