the installation of the future is
taking shape at Tyndall Air Force Base
florida and new technology is leading
the way from digital connections to
robot dogs , fiber optic paint drones
and robots and more . The Air Force
civil engineer centers . Tyndall
rebuild program management office is
making innovation a mission critical
element of the rebuild . When you talk
about innovation , there's really not a
direct roadmap to get there . It really
is a journey . It's really a whole host
of things , some of some of which are
technologies that you could purchase
and then deploy at the base . So
there's really a whole spectrum of
things that we've done here at Kendall
that are going to make this the
installation of the future . The
installation resilience operation
center or iroc functions as the digital
nervous system . For Tyndall , iroc
connects , infuses data from a
multitude of sensors and systems to
optimize routine facility maintenance
and enhanced situational awareness and
rapid decision making for emergency
responders . Digital Twin and holo lab .
The Digital Twin is a full scale
digital representation of the Air Force
Base . Twinned to real world inventory
in systems . The holo lab is the place
where the Digital Twin is physically
located , A place where airmen can
interact with the model using virtual
reality goggles or computer screens ,
operators have the ability to view
assets and infrastructure , run
scenarios like simulating extreme
weather or active shooter exercises and
explore the best use scenarios of
facilities . Another futuristic
technology found at Tyndall is the
quadruple unmanned ground vehicle or
robot dog . These robot dogs can
provide persistent security from all
directions boasting 360 degree sensors
and 24 hour video coverage . Autonomous
lawnmowers are robot lawnmowers that
will cut grass to a specific standard
or height in various environmental
conditions anytime of day or night . We
actually call it one of them Travis the
Tyndall rebuild autonomous vegetation
improvement system to force multiplier
for us for sure because it's not bound
by light as well , like when you're
cutting your grass at home . So it uses
a lidar sensor , it uses GPS and uses
cameras so you can work it 24 7 if you
really wanted to . Digital force tech
detects and tracks numerous perimeter
threats and provides persistent wide
area video surveillance . This system
enhances security forces situational
awareness , including as contractors
are on base during the $4.9 billion
rebuild these cameras will be providing
a direct visual assessment of almost
all of these contractor areas , giving
us the ability to have eyes on any sort
of situation or scenario that might
unfold . That way . We have an idea of
what's going on before we actually put
the security response sports out there .
Zero eyes is a weapons detection system
that integrates Tindall's existing
security cameras to quickly identify
possible active shooter situations
before shots are fired . The artificial
intelligence software can identify
weapons such as shotguns , rifles and
other weapons models . It's also able
to distinguish friend from foe through
its weapons profile database . The
mobile vehicle and cargo inspection
system offers high powered X ray
imaging that discriminates between
organic and inorganic materials in
order to identify multiple types of
contraband . Nico pave is an asphalt
crack sealing system that uses a
robotic maintenance vehicle , asphalt
crack sealing robot . It uses lasers to
identify pavement cracks , blows debris
from the cracks and applies sealers to
the cracks . It can be used on
airfields , roadways and sidewalks .
It's safer , more efficient and more
accurate than manual labor and uses
less material and a smaller crew ,
fiber tracks is painted on fiber optic
line for paved surfaces . So just from
a comms perspective , that's really
great because you don't have to then
cut up this pavement and then trench
down and then bury the line and get all
the permits and worry about , you know ,
other lines that may be underneath the
pavement that you could potentially cut
as you do that . In addition , this
technology is sensitive enough to allow
you to know that somebody's walking
across it or a car is driving across it
or a dog is walking across it . It can
differentiate and the size of the thing
that's coming across it as well as
exactly where along the line that that
particular intruder is coming . You can
actually deploy this system and you can
get a pretty good idea when your
perimeter is being breached . Easy ,
aerial is a tethered drone system that
is a portable drone in a box that can
be used to meet any security mapping or
inspection need . Greg Gecko is a
handheld inspection tool used for
aircraft corrosion evaluation . It
produces clear and easily
understandable pictures of damaged
areas that can be immediately shared
with leadership maintainers ,
investigators and aircraft
manufacturers . If you think about the
installation of the future , it's an
attitude as much as it is a process and
you really have to have the mindset of
the thing that you currently have just
simply isn't good enough anymore . And
so you have to be thinking about how do
you improve that for the Air Force
installation and mission support center ?
