WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.833 while I want to build on Chief's 00:01.833 --> 00:03.778 question , how um have you thought 00:03.778 --> 00:05.833 about the enduring , right , This is 00:05.833 --> 00:07.889 for contingency . It's off the shelf 00:07.889 --> 00:09.778 ready to go . Um What if it's not 00:09.778 --> 00:11.833 needed for five years or six years ? 00:11.833 --> 00:13.778 Technology seems to be changing so 00:13.778 --> 00:16.000 quickly um as well as what's required , 00:16.000 --> 00:18.111 what the rules and regulations are to 00:18.111 --> 00:20.278 keep it secure . Can you tell us about 00:20.278 --> 00:22.444 that ? It's been one of those things , 00:22.444 --> 00:24.556 you just have to stay up with it . Um 00:24.556 --> 00:26.833 It's once we get that initial blessing , 00:26.833 --> 00:26.620 they're gonna , they may go in storage , 00:26.630 --> 00:28.660 just like you said and write the 00:28.660 --> 00:30.990 threats will emerge and we'll have to 00:30.990 --> 00:33.046 adapt with that firmware . So that's 00:33.046 --> 00:35.268 something that's gonna have to be taken 00:35.268 --> 00:35.100 to account with the companies . The 00:35.100 --> 00:37.156 firmware updates as we receive those 00:37.156 --> 00:39.100 threats will have to be an ongoing 00:39.100 --> 00:41.433 thing , just like with any other system . 00:41.433 --> 00:44.520 Yes , ma'am , adam . Um we all know 00:44.520 --> 00:48.410 that industry is designed to a large 00:48.410 --> 00:50.990 part to make money . Are you before us 00:50.990 --> 00:53.660 indicating that industry doesn't have 00:54.330 --> 00:57.910 the technology of this nature ? Uh 00:57.920 --> 00:59.930 And why wouldn't we just go out and 00:59.930 --> 01:02.160 lease it when needed on a contractual 01:02.160 --> 01:04.216 basis to be provided on an as needed 01:04.216 --> 01:07.360 basis . So two parts . So if we are 01:07.370 --> 01:10.570 reactive with the leasing , I would 01:10.570 --> 01:12.830 argue that that injects additional 01:12.830 --> 01:14.941 timeline . So you're you're expanding 01:14.941 --> 01:17.108 the timeline . The whole point of this 01:17.108 --> 01:19.274 is to have them on standby ready to go 01:19.274 --> 01:21.274 because we don't know what's coming 01:21.274 --> 01:23.330 next . We don't want to be taken off 01:23.330 --> 01:25.219 guard . I want my network back up 01:25.219 --> 01:27.386 within hours , not weeks after I'm hit 01:27.386 --> 01:29.552 with a crisis , whether it's stand off 01:29.552 --> 01:31.608 weapons striking a forward operating 01:31.608 --> 01:34.430 base or another hurricane ? Just 01:34.440 --> 01:36.607 Lieutenant Colonel Wallace here saying 01:36.607 --> 01:39.260 I want it there . Yes , sir . Can I 01:39.260 --> 01:41.538 piggyback on his question for a minute . 01:41.538 --> 01:43.593 Is this something fema Department of 01:43.593 --> 01:45.816 Homeland Security or any of those folks 01:45.816 --> 01:48.149 already have created that we could grow . 01:48.640 --> 01:51.280 I am aware of one kit man . There is 01:51.280 --> 01:53.430 something that essentially ties in 01:53.430 --> 01:55.930 Malcolm's with civilian comms , but it 01:55.930 --> 01:58.930 doesn't offer , um , the level of 01:58.930 --> 02:01.152 fidelity that we're looking to move the 02:01.152 --> 02:03.540 data efficiently . So if you want comms , 02:03.550 --> 02:05.710 that's great . But I think that's a 02:05.720 --> 02:07.831 little bit different operating system 02:07.831 --> 02:10.590 here . Well , we have a stakeholder 02:10.590 --> 02:12.812 question on both sides of this . So you 02:12.812 --> 02:14.923 said , part of your ask is so you can 02:14.923 --> 02:14.840 bring a whole bunch of smart people 02:14.840 --> 02:17.062 into a room . I'd love to hear a little 02:17.062 --> 02:17.010 bit more about who you think those 02:17.010 --> 02:19.240 smart people are . And then on the 02:19.250 --> 02:22.060 advocacy side , So who is it within the 02:22.060 --> 02:24.450 department that you'd feel we would 02:24.450 --> 02:26.700 need to rally around to help get you 02:26.700 --> 02:28.978 where you need to be with this project . 02:28.978 --> 02:30.867 So whatever avenue we're gonna go 02:30.867 --> 02:32.811 towards that authority to test and 02:32.811 --> 02:34.700 eventually lead to that A . T . O 02:34.700 --> 02:36.589 whether that's the DDS or putting 02:36.589 --> 02:38.811 pressure on ethnic or or whoever . Um , 02:38.811 --> 02:40.811 that's still to be determined . But 02:40.811 --> 02:43.089 that's where that's where we're asking , 02:43.089 --> 02:45.367 how about the smart people in the room . 02:45.367 --> 02:44.980 Who do you think the smart people in 02:44.980 --> 02:47.202 the room is to help get this technology 02:47.202 --> 02:49.202 across the finish line ? Who do you 02:49.202 --> 02:51.424 think that is ? I want to expand really 02:51.424 --> 02:50.740 the view across the industry , and of 02:50.740 --> 02:52.629 course , and then getting all the 02:52.629 --> 02:54.573 people that can , I want to know , 02:54.573 --> 02:56.796 people that we can actually stop this , 02:56.796 --> 02:56.600 that can , you know , put a break on 02:56.600 --> 02:58.822 this to be in that room and just try to 02:58.822 --> 03:01.080 calm those fears . So , interesting 03:01.080 --> 03:03.136 approach . Right , let's go about it 03:03.136 --> 03:05.080 for the smart people who have this 03:05.080 --> 03:04.680 problem solved . But then at the same 03:04.680 --> 03:06.680 time , collaborate with those folks 03:06.680 --> 03:08.902 that we think might be a barrier to get 03:08.902 --> 03:08.830 us where we need to go correct the 03:08.840 --> 03:10.729 earliest we can tackle that , the 03:10.729 --> 03:14.000 better anybody else . All right , Wally , 03:14.000 --> 03:16.167 thanks so much . We appreciate all you 03:16.167 --> 03:18.222 do . Um , see the passion , love the 03:18.222 --> 03:20.222 story . Got us with the application 03:20.222 --> 03:22.444 from , from the start . So , thanks for 03:22.444 --> 03:24.444 all that . You do really appreciate 03:26.850 --> 03:29.350 judges . Can you hear me now ? Can you 03:29.350 --> 03:31.870 hear me now ? Can you hear me now ? 03:31.880 --> 03:33.936 What you get it ? There we go . That 03:33.936 --> 03:36.102 was a joke . What's the first thing to 03:36.102 --> 03:38.213 break down in combat ? Mr Jolivette , 03:38.213 --> 03:40.436 potentially , potentially you're calm , 03:40.436 --> 03:42.324 right ? That that's what we say , 03:42.324 --> 03:44.547 radios go out . First thing , it sounds 03:44.547 --> 03:46.547 like Wally's got a great innovative 03:46.547 --> 03:48.713 idea to potentially fix that problem . 03:48.713 --> 03:51.047 What did you think of that pitch ? Mr J ? 03:51.047 --> 03:53.990 I love it again . It's been said , the 03:54.000 --> 03:56.000 thought that's been put into what's 03:56.000 --> 03:58.167 being presented to us today and how it 03:58.167 --> 04:00.500 can help us as to help our war fighters . 04:00.500 --> 04:03.650 Uh as a I A . F . MSC 04:03.650 --> 04:06.820 responsibility . Uh I'm impressed . As 04:06.820 --> 04:08.910 a matter of fact , uh I've already 04:08.910 --> 04:11.840 decided that uh we've got eight winners 04:11.840 --> 04:13.951 and uh I just don't know what to do . 04:13.951 --> 04:16.730 Well we've heard for . So we've got 04:16.730 --> 04:18.830 four more to go chief . Any last 04:18.830 --> 04:20.830 thoughts on that pitch ? Absolutely 04:20.830 --> 04:22.886 amazing so far . You know , when you 04:22.886 --> 04:24.886 think about Chief master of the Air 04:24.886 --> 04:26.552 Force's priorities , powering 04:26.552 --> 04:28.663 innovation all day long , that's what 04:28.663 --> 04:30.608 they've been showing us today . So 04:30.608 --> 04:32.886 super impressed . So we're excited . J . 04:32.886 --> 04:32.800 D . We're going to take a little bit of 04:32.800 --> 04:34.911 a break . What do you think about the 04:34.911 --> 04:37.230 first four pitches to me , this still 04:37.230 --> 04:39.174 comes back to culture , right ? So 04:39.174 --> 04:41.230 we've got individual presenters with 04:41.230 --> 04:43.174 individual problems and individual 04:43.174 --> 04:45.286 solutions which I absolutely love the 04:45.286 --> 04:47.230 time and effort spent . But what I 04:47.230 --> 04:49.286 actually love most is watching these 04:49.286 --> 04:51.341 teammates come forward and know that 04:51.341 --> 04:50.970 they've got a group of senior leaders 04:50.970 --> 04:53.026 and even more so in live streaming , 04:53.026 --> 04:54.803 they've got their backs and are 04:54.803 --> 04:56.637 empowered and impressed and look 04:56.637 --> 04:58.637 forward to just carrying it forward 04:58.637 --> 04:58.620 back to their installations , that 04:58.630 --> 05:00.963 ripple effect has really got me excited . 05:00.963 --> 05:03.330 It's got everybody excited . The buzz 05:03.340 --> 05:05.507 is happening backstage , we still have 05:05.507 --> 05:07.580 four more presenters to go today . 05:07.590 --> 05:09.701 We're gonna let you guys stretch your 05:09.701 --> 05:11.923 legs a little bit and and and taking me 05:11.923 --> 05:14.560 in hydrate . But before we do to show 05:14.660 --> 05:16.549 that this isn't just talk right . 05:16.549 --> 05:18.710 Innovation rodeo is not just about 05:18.710 --> 05:20.610 doing this big production . Like 05:20.610 --> 05:23.820 whoever gets the win , whoever wins the 05:23.820 --> 05:26.098 gold belt buckle from innovation rodeo . 05:26.160 --> 05:28.430 Their , their , their thoughts become a 05:28.430 --> 05:30.930 reality . Their idea becomes a real 05:30.930 --> 05:32.930 thing and we're going to rewind the 05:32.930 --> 05:34.652 clock two years and go back to 05:34.652 --> 05:36.597 Innovation rodeo 2020 Major Jackie 05:36.597 --> 05:38.708 Vastar and we're gonna take a look at 05:38.708 --> 05:40.710 her her idea that is now a real 05:40.710 --> 05:42.710 functioning thing , helping service 05:42.710 --> 05:44.710 members balance that , that life of 05:44.710 --> 05:46.877 service and family . Let's take a look 05:46.877 --> 05:50.660 at the video . Hi , 05:50.670 --> 05:53.420 my name is Jackie basta . I'm a major 05:53.420 --> 05:55.587 in the Air Force , I'm a force support 05:55.587 --> 05:57.753 officer , I'm a dual military spouse , 05:57.753 --> 06:01.110 but my most important duty title is mom . 06:01.880 --> 06:03.991 I'm so sorry , my phone is blowing up 06:03.991 --> 06:06.047 with call me text . I would never do 06:06.047 --> 06:08.158 this rob what's going on or bobby and 06:08.158 --> 06:08.080 charlotte . Okay , I'm in the middle of 06:08.080 --> 06:11.160 my pitch , You're getting deployed to 06:11.160 --> 06:14.930 Afghanistan when May 06:15.030 --> 06:17.141 highest squadron officer school may , 06:17.141 --> 06:19.363 what are we gonna do about child care ? 06:19.363 --> 06:21.308 I can try to bring him with me but 06:21.308 --> 06:23.252 remember what happened last time ? 06:23.252 --> 06:25.308 Facebook , it just didn't work out . 06:25.308 --> 06:27.363 You know , bear this out . I'll call 06:27.363 --> 06:29.530 you back . Okay , all right , thanks . 06:29.530 --> 06:32.030 I'm so sorry , I'm so stressed out rob 06:32.030 --> 06:35.240 says hi , by the way can reset 06:38.070 --> 06:39.959 leaders the phone call , you just 06:39.959 --> 06:41.848 witnessed happens in the lives of 06:41.848 --> 06:43.737 countless airmen every day and it 06:43.737 --> 06:46.190 happened to me . Military families need 06:46.190 --> 06:48.530 access to temporary child care . Let me 06:48.530 --> 06:50.850 further explain the problem . Our 06:50.850 --> 06:52.950 workforce is changing . We have more 06:52.950 --> 06:55.061 women serving in the active component 06:55.061 --> 06:57.990 up from 2.5% in the 70s to nearly 20% . 06:57.990 --> 07:00.040 Today we have twice as many dual 07:00.040 --> 07:02.050 military spouses with Children and 07:02.050 --> 07:04.161 single parents serving than we did in 07:04.161 --> 07:06.328 1985 . We have service members listing 07:06.328 --> 07:08.272 childcare as one of their top five 07:08.272 --> 07:10.328 stressors related to military life . 07:10.328 --> 07:12.383 Families need access to child care . 07:13.600 --> 07:15.433 The main avenues that airmen are 07:15.433 --> 07:17.430 seeking to get childcare is their 07:17.430 --> 07:19.541 facebook . The Air Force allows us to 07:19.541 --> 07:21.910 sublease our childcare spots . As 07:21.910 --> 07:23.910 you'll see in these posts , there's 07:23.910 --> 07:26.130 confusion surrounding the CDC policy . 07:26.950 --> 07:29.006 There's airmen who are posting their 07:29.006 --> 07:31.228 private information like T dY dates and 07:31.228 --> 07:33.910 deployment dates in a public forum . We 07:33.910 --> 07:36.230 also have confusion with the price and 07:36.230 --> 07:38.590 this is where it gets tricky to break 07:38.590 --> 07:41.870 it down . Child care fees are based on 07:41.870 --> 07:44.037 total family income . So what I pay is 07:44.037 --> 07:46.092 a major is a higher rate than what a 07:46.092 --> 07:48.314 staff sergeant would pay . If I'm gonna 07:48.314 --> 07:50.481 sublease my spot to a staff sergeant , 07:50.481 --> 07:52.703 I'm gonna have to ask for a higher rate 07:52.703 --> 07:54.814 or maybe I can negotiate the price or 07:54.814 --> 07:56.814 maybe there's a bidding war for the 07:56.814 --> 07:58.814 slot or maybe there's potential for 07:58.814 --> 08:00.814 price gouging for airmen , it's not 08:00.814 --> 08:03.360 working and it's not safe . I knew 08:03.360 --> 08:05.582 there had to be a better way and that's 08:05.582 --> 08:08.160 when Kinder Spot was born . Kinder Spot 08:08.170 --> 08:10.840 is a one stop shop mobile app designed 08:10.840 --> 08:13.062 for parents of Children enrolled in the 08:13.062 --> 08:15.173 child development center to advertise 08:15.173 --> 08:17.173 match and sublease their spots with 08:17.173 --> 08:19.396 other eligible families with short term 08:19.396 --> 08:21.340 childcare needs , think Airbnb for 08:21.340 --> 08:23.229 childcare . All you have to do is 08:23.229 --> 08:25.470 register for the app and create a 08:25.480 --> 08:27.480 profile that will also capture your 08:27.480 --> 08:29.480 Children's ages to make sure we get 08:29.480 --> 08:31.591 them in the right classrooms and then 08:31.591 --> 08:33.924 you're gonna search for care and your T . 08:33.924 --> 08:35.869 D . Y . Location or even your home 08:35.869 --> 08:35.670 station if you want to sublease your 08:35.670 --> 08:37.850 spot while you're on leave , put in 08:37.850 --> 08:40.072 your how many child spots do you need ? 08:40.072 --> 08:42.790 And then search for Colorado Springs , 08:42.790 --> 08:44.790 we have four installations of child 08:44.790 --> 08:46.734 development centers . I'm gonna go 08:46.734 --> 08:48.623 ahead and select on the Air Force 08:48.623 --> 08:48.610 Academy because they have seven Kinder 08:48.610 --> 08:50.920 spots available . This is gonna take me 08:50.920 --> 08:53.087 to a page where I can connect with the 08:53.087 --> 08:55.253 child development center and also take 08:55.253 --> 08:57.531 care of the payment all within the app . 08:57.531 --> 08:59.587 The payment is simply going to pause 08:59.587 --> 09:01.531 the owner spot and then charge the 09:01.531 --> 09:03.642 renter their appropriate amount based 09:03.642 --> 09:05.809 on their total family income bracket . 09:06.620 --> 09:09.150 The best part about Kinder spot is that 09:09.150 --> 09:11.470 this is a joint solution . Child 09:11.470 --> 09:13.526 development centers are treated as a 09:13.526 --> 09:15.960 combined resource . There are 628 child 09:15.960 --> 09:18.230 development centers across the world 09:18.240 --> 09:20.351 that this whole market will be opened 09:20.351 --> 09:22.518 up to if you're a stay at home mom who 09:22.518 --> 09:24.740 needs a break from the kids to get some 09:24.740 --> 09:26.907 errands done . Check out kinder spot . 09:26.907 --> 09:29.073 Your reserve is coming on orders . You 09:29.073 --> 09:31.129 need to bring your kids go to kinder 09:31.129 --> 09:32.962 spot all military members on one 09:32.962 --> 09:34.962 network . That's kinder spot in the 09:34.962 --> 09:36.890 last four months . I've gained a 09:36.890 --> 09:39.112 tremendous amount of mental kinder spot 09:39.112 --> 09:41.279 with the ability to pitch this idea of 09:41.279 --> 09:43.390 the Force Support squadron Leadership 09:43.390 --> 09:45.446 workshop where I got the buy in from 09:45.446 --> 09:47.168 several Force Support squadron 09:47.168 --> 09:49.112 commanders who own and operate the 09:49.112 --> 09:51.168 child development centers with their 09:51.168 --> 09:53.334 excitement , the beta test this app at 09:53.334 --> 09:53.195 their C . D . C . S . I also had the 09:53.195 --> 09:55.251 opportunity to pitch this idea and a 09:55.251 --> 09:57.473 congressional caucus that was hosted by 09:57.473 --> 09:59.362 Congresswoman Kristi Hoolahan , a 09:59.362 --> 10:01.473 former Air Force member who separated 10:01.473 --> 10:03.695 the service because of childcare issues 10:03.695 --> 10:05.806 and that was 25 years ago . We can do 10:05.806 --> 10:08.040 better . The key stakeholders in this 10:08.040 --> 10:09.984 initiative have been Colonel Donna 10:09.984 --> 10:12.207 Turner , the commander of the Air Force 10:12.207 --> 10:14.318 Services Center , who has pledged her 10:14.318 --> 10:16.318 commitment to help propel this idea 10:16.318 --> 10:16.210 forward . I'm also gonna need the 10:16.210 --> 10:18.377 support from Secretary of Defense Mark 10:18.377 --> 10:20.900 esper , who has , who has as recently 10:20.900 --> 10:24.320 as last week announced his commitment 10:24.330 --> 10:26.497 to making sure that we can have access 10:26.497 --> 10:28.330 and affordable child care to all 10:28.330 --> 10:30.441 military families in his fy 21 budget 10:30.441 --> 10:33.180 rollout . My ask is for 10:33.180 --> 10:37.080 $260,000 , to be dedicated to 10:37.080 --> 10:39.247 research and development to remove any 10:39.247 --> 10:42.480 barriers that are in place $250,000 to 10:42.480 --> 10:44.740 develop a minimum viable product that 10:44.740 --> 10:46.907 we can prototype and test at air force 10:46.907 --> 10:49.350 installations . I also need your help . 10:49.360 --> 10:51.780 I need senior leader advocacy to bring 10:51.780 --> 10:53.669 this idea forward up the chain of 10:53.669 --> 10:55.891 command to the Department of Defense to 10:55.891 --> 10:58.240 make kinder spot truly the care we can 10:58.240 --> 11:01.260 share . I'd love to hear your questions . 11:02.100 --> 11:04.267 Hey , Jackie , thanks first . Congrats 11:04.267 --> 11:06.267 on putting on major . That was just 11:06.267 --> 11:07.878 like in the last week wasn't 11:08.610 --> 11:10.610 Congratulations . You know , you're 11:10.610 --> 11:12.499 knocking it out of the ballpark . 11:12.499 --> 11:14.554 Already taken care of our airmen and 11:14.554 --> 11:16.721 families . I love this idea . Um , you 11:16.721 --> 11:18.777 know , we've talked about it several 11:18.777 --> 11:20.888 times . What do you think are some of 11:20.888 --> 11:23.270 those barriers or whatever that will 11:23.270 --> 11:26.750 have to work or challenges or you know , 11:26.750 --> 11:28.750 that we'll have to tackle moving it 11:28.750 --> 11:30.639 from ? Obviously , you know , the 11:30.639 --> 11:32.540 civilian sector onto the military 11:32.540 --> 11:34.400 sector , you know , in a highly 11:34.410 --> 11:37.820 governed structure CDC program . Thank 11:37.820 --> 11:39.987 you for your question . I know that we 11:39.987 --> 11:42.153 are going to have to the first barrier 11:42.153 --> 11:44.098 would have to be putting into some 11:44.098 --> 11:46.376 policy , the CDC policy for subleasing . 11:46.376 --> 11:48.487 I'm so glad we have the ability to do 11:48.487 --> 11:50.542 it , but we need to regulate it . We 11:50.542 --> 11:50.430 need to make sure that our men aren't 11:50.430 --> 11:52.374 paying each other directly because 11:52.374 --> 11:54.097 that's opening up everyone for 11:54.097 --> 11:56.097 vulnerabilities and liabilities and 11:56.097 --> 11:58.319 it's it's not , it's not working as far 11:58.319 --> 12:00.390 as um getting like the software 12:00.390 --> 12:02.501 developed to get this in the hands of 12:02.501 --> 12:04.668 everyone in the military and make sure 12:04.668 --> 12:06.446 that our private information is 12:06.446 --> 12:08.557 protected . Um The vision would be to 12:08.557 --> 12:10.779 have this Kinder spot eventually linked 12:10.779 --> 12:12.890 to military childcare dot com , which 12:12.890 --> 12:15.112 is the central portal that all military 12:15.112 --> 12:17.168 families already used just to get on 12:17.168 --> 12:19.057 the waitlist . It's it's complete 12:19.057 --> 12:21.223 compatible with the idea I am building 12:21.223 --> 12:23.446 and that would that would really be the 12:23.446 --> 12:23.440 best way to make it available to 12:23.450 --> 12:25.506 everyone . And then the app would be 12:25.506 --> 12:27.617 developed based on that policy . We'd 12:27.617 --> 12:29.617 have to tweak the app . The payment 12:29.617 --> 12:31.617 would because you're not raising it 12:31.617 --> 12:33.839 back and forth . So that app would then 12:33.839 --> 12:35.910 match the policy and tag in the 12:35.920 --> 12:39.130 military childcare . Yes sir and D . O . 12:39.130 --> 12:42.230 D . Policy . So we all can all services 12:42.230 --> 12:45.980 can use it . So Jackie , you said 12:45.990 --> 12:49.330 now they use facebook um how long did 12:49.330 --> 12:51.440 the facebook ? Word of mouth kind of 12:51.440 --> 12:53.730 get spread and kind of go down that 12:53.740 --> 12:57.100 trail versus how how fast do you think 12:57.110 --> 12:59.166 or predict that we could do with the 12:59.166 --> 13:01.388 marketing so that folks will be able to 13:01.388 --> 13:04.205 use the the biggest , the biggest 13:04.205 --> 13:06.094 problem other than they have been 13:06.094 --> 13:08.205 paying each other on facebook is that 13:08.205 --> 13:10.427 you don't know what group to join . You 13:10.427 --> 13:12.594 don't know how to tap into that market 13:12.594 --> 13:14.649 to match needs and requirements . So 13:14.649 --> 13:16.705 getting it on military Childcare dot 13:16.705 --> 13:18.761 com will essentially mandate that we 13:18.761 --> 13:22.370 use military Child child care dot com 13:22.380 --> 13:24.570 as a subleasing module to connect to 13:24.570 --> 13:26.640 kinder spot . So the marketing is 13:26.640 --> 13:28.807 really in place . We just need to make 13:28.807 --> 13:30.918 sure that we can test the app by word 13:30.918 --> 13:32.807 of mouth and I'll tell you , I've 13:32.807 --> 13:34.696 gotten a lot of positive feedback 13:34.696 --> 13:36.529 within um , you know , the local 13:36.529 --> 13:38.584 women's facebook forums , you know , 13:38.584 --> 13:40.584 excited to try this . So I mean , I 13:40.584 --> 13:42.751 think it's spreading but eventually be 13:42.751 --> 13:45.320 mandated to get to use it today . Chief , 13:45.320 --> 13:47.550 that was absolutely phenomenal . Let me 13:47.550 --> 13:49.383 tell you , we had , we just went 13:49.383 --> 13:51.320 through eight teams coming in 13:51.320 --> 13:53.680 professionally presenting their 13:53.680 --> 13:57.000 innovation idea to a panel of five 13:57.010 --> 13:59.121 judges that they didn't even know . I 13:59.121 --> 14:01.770 mean it goes into the great aspects and 14:01.770 --> 14:03.826 the great airmen that we have in the 14:03.826 --> 14:05.937 Air Force every single day , but it's 14:05.937 --> 14:07.881 the end of the competition . Right 14:07.881 --> 14:10.103 chief . So we're gonna have to hand out 14:10.103 --> 14:12.420 a little awards here as we walk through 14:12.430 --> 14:15.330 our top three . So our number one 14:15.330 --> 14:19.320 innovator For the 2020 14:19.840 --> 14:21.410 Innovation Rodeo . 14:26.740 --> 14:28.980 Major Jackie boston with Kenneth spot . 14:28.990 --> 14:30.268 Come on out . Jackie ! 14:35.110 --> 14:38.470 Congratulations , how cool is that ? 14:38.480 --> 14:41.110 I love your idea . I think it's gonna 14:41.120 --> 14:43.040 be phenomenal things . 14:44.450 --> 14:47.980 Alright , thanks Jackie tell rob we 14:47.980 --> 14:50.470 said thanks to and a new Major just 14:50.480 --> 14:53.510 pinned on Major 14:55.100 --> 14:55.760 Yeah , 20:57.500 --> 21:00.700 welcome back to innovation rodeo 2022 21:00.710 --> 21:02.766 live streaming from the tech support 21:02.766 --> 21:04.870 center and arena import saN Antonio 21:04.870 --> 21:07.092 texas , I'm Jason seaver your host from 21:07.092 --> 21:09.148 the Air Force Security Forces center 21:09.148 --> 21:11.370 Air Force I . M . S . C . And we've had 21:11.370 --> 21:13.481 four pitches . We've got four to go . 21:13.481 --> 21:15.600 The Judges are ready . The next two 21:15.600 --> 21:17.830 teams up are ready or at least we think 21:17.840 --> 21:20.062 we are . They are , we're , we're right 21:20.062 --> 21:22.118 here outside their dressing room and 21:22.118 --> 21:24.396 we're going to check on them right now . 21:25.170 --> 21:27.337 Alright , let's uh , let's bring it in 21:27.337 --> 21:29.226 here guys . We got Staff Sergeant 21:29.226 --> 21:31.337 Dillon Whitehead , Lieutenant Colonel 21:31.337 --> 21:33.448 Kyle Kramer . The next two teams up . 21:33.448 --> 21:35.281 Sergeant Whitehead . How are you 21:35.281 --> 21:37.170 feeling good ? Alright ? You feel 21:37.170 --> 21:39.392 confident ? You feel ready to go ? Give 21:39.392 --> 21:41.726 your pitch . Yes , they're very excited . 21:41.726 --> 21:41.310 A little nervous . A little nervous , 21:41.310 --> 21:43.310 but a little little butterflies are 21:43.310 --> 21:45.477 okay . Who do you want to give a shout 21:45.477 --> 21:45.260 out back to ? That's watching the 21:45.260 --> 21:47.427 livestream . Just shout out to my wife 21:47.427 --> 21:49.593 and my son Trey . All right . He's all 21:49.593 --> 21:52.970 the way . Where are you out of all the 21:52.970 --> 21:55.026 way across the pond . Okay , Colonel 21:55.026 --> 21:57.081 Cramer , how you feeling great ? I'm 21:57.081 --> 22:00.760 ready to present . And how was the week ? 22:00.770 --> 22:02.714 What did you think of the , of the 22:02.714 --> 22:04.826 build up in the prep ? It was amazing 22:04.826 --> 22:06.770 said throughout the week taking 17 22:06.770 --> 22:08.992 years of military training and briefing 22:08.992 --> 22:11.214 styles and throwing that out the window 22:11.214 --> 22:13.437 and learning how to pitch , which is an 22:13.437 --> 22:15.659 amazing experience . Okay , well I told 22:15.659 --> 22:17.714 the Judges before the break that you 22:17.714 --> 22:19.992 guys are ready to pitch their face off . 22:19.992 --> 22:22.214 Are you , are you ready to go do that . 22:22.214 --> 22:24.326 All right . Judges , are you ready to 22:24.326 --> 22:26.548 see Sergeant Dillon ? Whitehead Jason . 22:26.548 --> 22:28.492 Let's see Dylan and defender is on 22:28.492 --> 22:29.492 bring it on . 23:03.800 --> 23:06.740 It's one a.m. on a Saturday night your 23:06.740 --> 23:08.740 kid wakes you up . They're having a 23:08.740 --> 23:11.130 hard time breathing . You want the best 23:11.130 --> 23:13.297 of the best to respond to your child . 23:13.297 --> 23:15.352 What if I told you that response was 23:15.352 --> 23:18.120 hindered because that defender E . M . 23:18.120 --> 23:21.010 T . Or firefighter had to stay for 23:21.010 --> 23:23.060 three hours after their previous 12 23:23.060 --> 23:25.140 hour shift in order to get a new web 23:25.140 --> 23:28.390 boat as a parent . How many of you guys 23:28.390 --> 23:31.070 are parents that wouldn't make us feel 23:31.070 --> 23:33.070 very comfortable knowing the person 23:33.070 --> 23:35.126 aiding our Children isn't on their a 23:35.126 --> 23:37.550 game due to a lack of sleep . What if 23:37.550 --> 23:39.383 this problem could be avoided by 23:39.383 --> 23:41.810 modernizing our supply section ? Slide , 23:44.640 --> 23:46.751 The problem at hand is defenders work 23:46.751 --> 23:48.973 unorthodox shifts that could be as long 23:48.973 --> 23:51.260 as 12 to 14 hours and in patterns of 23:51.260 --> 23:54.820 four days on and two days off . This 23:54.820 --> 23:57.042 makes it extremely difficult to give it 23:57.042 --> 23:59.098 the supply section who worked monday 23:59.098 --> 24:01.098 through friday nine AM to five PM . 24:01.330 --> 24:03.510 Security forces supply is also 24:03.510 --> 24:06.150 extremely task saturated . This leads 24:06.150 --> 24:08.372 to unknown wait times due to additional 24:08.372 --> 24:11.090 duties on top of all of this . The 24:11.090 --> 24:13.146 security forces warehouse is located 24:13.146 --> 24:15.146 separately from our main squadron . 24:15.146 --> 24:17.090 This makes the problem even harder 24:17.090 --> 24:19.257 because defenders not only have to get 24:19.257 --> 24:21.312 with their supply section , but they 24:21.312 --> 24:20.830 also have to convince them to go to the 24:20.830 --> 24:22.941 warehouse with them to get the gear , 24:22.941 --> 24:24.830 they need . The solution of these 24:24.830 --> 24:26.719 problems that I came up with is a 24:26.719 --> 24:28.830 website called defenders on . It's an 24:28.830 --> 24:30.774 amazon like experience that allows 24:30.774 --> 24:32.886 members to go online or to their gear 24:32.886 --> 24:32.630 and have that gear dropped off in a 24:32.630 --> 24:34.950 smart locker for pickup . This not only 24:34.950 --> 24:37.172 gives time back to the defender to have 24:37.172 --> 24:39.172 a better work rest cycle , but also 24:39.172 --> 24:41.339 spend time with their family . This as 24:41.339 --> 24:43.283 well gives time back to the supply 24:43.283 --> 24:45.172 section to focus on their primary 24:45.172 --> 24:46.950 duties . Slide the next step in 24:46.950 --> 24:49.117 modernizing our force will be the beta 24:49.117 --> 24:51.339 phase . During the beta phase . This we 24:51.339 --> 24:53.450 ran an R . F . Crowding where all the 24:53.450 --> 24:55.283 problems with the website can be 24:55.283 --> 24:57.506 figured out . Nrf crowd in the delivery 24:57.506 --> 24:59.617 system will be the guard mount room . 24:59.617 --> 25:01.839 This will ensure each defenders gear is 25:01.839 --> 25:03.950 waiting for him upon arrival for duty 25:03.950 --> 25:03.900 after the beta phase move into the 25:03.900 --> 25:06.011 scale phase where the website will be 25:06.011 --> 25:08.178 transferred to a contracting team . In 25:08.178 --> 25:10.344 this phase , the contracting team will 25:10.344 --> 25:12.456 expand the website and roll it out to 25:12.456 --> 25:15.110 all security forces slide as you can 25:15.110 --> 25:17.110 see , this is my wonderful team . I 25:17.110 --> 25:18.999 have two awesome program managers 25:18.999 --> 25:21.054 behind me as well as a group full of 25:21.054 --> 25:24.600 great stakeholders slide moving 25:24.600 --> 25:26.544 forward , I will create an account 25:26.544 --> 25:28.711 feature that will allow members to log 25:28.711 --> 25:30.933 in and put their sizes for all of their 25:30.933 --> 25:32.822 gear . This will allow the supply 25:32.822 --> 25:34.933 section to conserve money because now 25:34.933 --> 25:37.156 they will only order exactly the amount 25:37.156 --> 25:36.720 of gear they need rather than a mass 25:36.720 --> 25:39.520 amount of each size . This will also 25:39.520 --> 25:41.631 allow when a member is P . C . S . Ng 25:41.631 --> 25:43.520 they're gaining unit to go in and 25:43.520 --> 25:45.742 access their account , See exactly what 25:45.742 --> 25:48.020 gear they need and all the right sizes . 25:48.020 --> 25:50.242 Get a go bag ready full of all of their 25:50.242 --> 25:52.353 gear . Ultimately leading to a faster 25:52.353 --> 25:54.576 turnaround in processing . Now , what I 25:54.576 --> 25:56.742 need from you , I'm asking for 300,000 25:56.742 --> 25:56.690 for the contracting team to scale the 25:56.690 --> 25:58.523 website as well as future senior 25:58.523 --> 26:00.357 leaders support in obtaining any 26:00.357 --> 26:03.090 sippers as a defender . I would do 26:03.100 --> 26:05.267 anything for three extra hours with my 26:05.267 --> 26:07.600 family . Can you guys help me stay on 26:07.600 --> 26:10.080 my a game . Open up for questions , 26:12.110 --> 26:14.332 Dylan thanks so much . Super powerful . 26:14.332 --> 26:16.443 Super impactful . And I think you saw 26:16.443 --> 26:18.443 all of us raise our hands . So this 26:18.443 --> 26:18.300 resonates with all of us . I'll open up 26:18.300 --> 26:21.750 to the judges for questions Dylan . I'm 26:21.750 --> 26:23.917 gonna start as a career defender . I'm 26:23.917 --> 26:25.972 excited about what you've introduced 26:25.972 --> 26:28.680 here and uh I wanna say thanks uh at 26:28.680 --> 26:31.280 the bottom of my heart . Uh My first 26:31.280 --> 26:33.502 question is , can I get a big hole from 26:33.502 --> 26:35.724 you ? All right ? All right , let's get 26:35.724 --> 26:39.290 to it . Um You've modeled this off of 26:39.300 --> 26:42.480 the amazon process and your cost 26:42.480 --> 26:45.390 factors uh seem very reasonable for 26:45.390 --> 26:47.334 what you're asking and what it can 26:47.334 --> 26:49.446 provide . Where did those come from ? 26:49.446 --> 26:51.446 So we reached out to subject matter 26:51.446 --> 26:53.612 experts in the field , that was just a 26:53.612 --> 26:53.390 rough estimate those aren't exact 26:53.390 --> 26:55.990 numbers sir . Okay , very good again , 26:56.000 --> 26:59.220 thank you Dylan . Can I ask , what do 26:59.220 --> 27:01.387 you think this would accomplish ? What 27:01.387 --> 27:03.553 would you hope out of a silver event ? 27:03.553 --> 27:05.609 So the thing I see forward , there's 27:05.609 --> 27:07.776 two ways of moving it forward and that 27:07.776 --> 27:09.720 would be so I have a problem , I'm 27:09.720 --> 27:09.600 gonna run it off the SharePoint and 27:09.600 --> 27:11.767 this could be ran off of every , every 27:11.767 --> 27:13.656 basic SharePoint where the supply 27:13.656 --> 27:15.656 section would just get training and 27:15.656 --> 27:15.450 they would know how to run the website 27:15.450 --> 27:17.172 themselves or the silver would 27:17.172 --> 27:18.950 accomplish uh , funding for the 27:18.950 --> 27:20.783 contracting team to maintain the 27:20.783 --> 27:23.006 website to see the future continuing to 27:23.006 --> 27:25.006 be on SharePoint . That is one very 27:25.006 --> 27:27.172 good aspect and that makes it free for 27:27.172 --> 27:28.172 moving forward . 27:30.980 --> 27:34.290 So , nice job . Um , I'm thinking about 27:34.290 --> 27:36.512 the smart locker aspect of it . Right ? 27:36.512 --> 27:38.623 I know that's a little infrastructure 27:38.623 --> 27:40.790 thing that you have to think about . I 27:40.790 --> 27:42.846 saw the picture , not a lot of smart 27:42.846 --> 27:42.630 smart lockers out there , but what's 27:42.630 --> 27:44.852 the vision , do you think smart lockers 27:44.852 --> 27:48.710 are , are necessary . Adjunct to 27:48.720 --> 27:51.400 this or or you know what I mean ? Could 27:51.400 --> 27:53.567 it be delivered without smart locker ? 27:53.567 --> 27:55.733 Good question sir . So no defenders on 27:55.733 --> 27:57.733 is not dependent on smart lockers . 27:57.733 --> 27:59.900 Smart lockers would be a very safe and 27:59.900 --> 27:59.580 universal delivery system as they get 27:59.580 --> 28:01.469 rolled out base to base . But our 28:01.469 --> 28:03.580 problem , we're gonna use the garment 28:03.580 --> 28:05.413 room . And another idea that was 28:05.413 --> 28:07.580 pitched was the base defense operation 28:07.580 --> 28:09.580 center and anywhere that you need . 28:09.580 --> 28:09.400 Like you could put it and each member 28:09.400 --> 28:11.622 can have access to that . Getting their 28:11.622 --> 28:13.740 gear , You would have a , I go on 28:13.740 --> 28:15.962 defenders on and say I need this bit of 28:15.962 --> 28:18.018 equipment and then it's in the guard 28:18.018 --> 28:20.184 mount room , which is a 24 7 operation 28:20.184 --> 28:22.073 and you just say , you just gotta 28:22.073 --> 28:22.060 switch out there , go there , you're 28:22.060 --> 28:24.790 gonna find your bag , pick it up . All 28:24.790 --> 28:27.430 right , thank you Sir . Dylan . I have 28:27.430 --> 28:29.850 a comment and then a question forward 28:29.850 --> 28:32.010 thinking this is amazing , Great job 28:32.020 --> 28:34.300 forward thinking as defenders move from 28:34.300 --> 28:36.078 base to base and installation , 28:36.078 --> 28:38.300 installation for , to their information 28:38.300 --> 28:40.522 to travel . Uh , that was great , Great 28:40.522 --> 28:42.744 forward thinking . My question is who's 28:42.744 --> 28:44.522 delivering , who on whom is the 28:44.522 --> 28:46.856 delivery to wherever uh , the gear goes ? 28:46.856 --> 28:48.800 Is it on the supply team ? Is it ? 28:48.800 --> 28:51.680 Where is that ? Yes ma'am . So the 28:51.680 --> 28:53.569 supply section would do that . So 28:53.569 --> 28:55.736 rather than have their day to day like 28:55.736 --> 28:57.680 interactions get interrupted by an 28:57.680 --> 28:59.847 airman coming in like in the middle of 28:59.847 --> 29:02.013 their , one of their work sessions and 29:02.013 --> 29:00.920 being like , hey , I need this . Can 29:00.920 --> 29:03.031 you help me get this ? They would set 29:03.031 --> 29:05.253 out a certain amount of time at the end 29:05.253 --> 29:07.420 of the day or like during lunch at the 29:07.420 --> 29:06.620 end of their lunch to just do that and 29:06.620 --> 29:08.509 get their orders ready for pickup 29:13.310 --> 29:15.532 sergeant . Great job . Tell me a little 29:15.532 --> 29:17.699 bit about what you did the beta test . 29:17.699 --> 29:19.866 How did you determine the savings that 29:19.866 --> 29:22.032 we're gonna hopefully multiply at each 29:22.032 --> 29:21.880 base . So we haven't ran the beta phase 29:21.880 --> 29:23.547 yet , ma'am . But through our 29:23.547 --> 29:26.140 preliminary analysis , the time savings 29:26.140 --> 29:28.140 we came up with was through initial 29:28.140 --> 29:30.660 gear , turn in , our initial gear issue 29:30.670 --> 29:32.781 gear turn in and then repeat visits . 29:32.781 --> 29:35.720 So we came up with , it's a 33% return 29:35.720 --> 29:37.831 on man hours going back to the supply 29:37.831 --> 29:40.053 section as well because you're doing it 29:40.053 --> 29:43.940 at your base right ? Um , I think 29:43.940 --> 29:46.162 about amazon . It's kind of like always 29:46.162 --> 29:49.300 going um , and updating . So I also 29:49.300 --> 29:51.467 then think , well , defenders probably 29:51.467 --> 29:53.633 have different gear at different times 29:53.633 --> 29:55.856 or you get new stuff come in . How does 29:55.856 --> 29:58.078 the defenders on like link to that ? Is 29:58.078 --> 30:00.078 it is it a very clear linkage to be 30:00.078 --> 30:02.300 able to update ? So you're not ordering 30:02.300 --> 30:04.356 gear ? That's no longer Yes sir . So 30:04.356 --> 30:03.910 that would be on the supply sections 30:03.910 --> 30:05.966 going an update once it moves out to 30:05.966 --> 30:08.188 the SharePoint . But as well as there's 30:08.188 --> 30:10.354 a feedback section on there . So say I 30:10.354 --> 30:12.577 had something at my previous assignment 30:12.577 --> 30:11.910 that they don't offer here . I could 30:11.910 --> 30:13.799 leave a message in their feedback 30:13.799 --> 30:15.799 section and then our supply section 30:15.799 --> 30:17.854 could order that . All right , thank 30:17.854 --> 30:19.966 you Things . You want to piggyback on 30:19.966 --> 30:21.966 your question on your question . So 30:21.966 --> 30:24.021 this is that guard mound or you pick 30:24.021 --> 30:26.077 the building . Right ? So , so we're 30:26.077 --> 30:27.910 not talking locker's right . Not 30:27.910 --> 30:29.854 currently sir , but when the smart 30:29.854 --> 30:29.430 locker gets rolled out , we'd like to 30:29.430 --> 30:31.486 pair it with that ? Say that again ? 30:31.486 --> 30:33.597 When the smart lockers get rolled out 30:33.597 --> 30:35.819 to each base we'd like to pair . Okay , 30:35.819 --> 30:37.874 so the initial $300,000 does include 30:37.874 --> 30:39.986 some sort of locker system . Does not 30:39.986 --> 30:41.986 know is not . So is it just for the 30:41.986 --> 30:44.097 SharePoint that would just be for the 30:44.097 --> 30:43.360 contracting company to scale the 30:43.360 --> 30:45.527 website and have each supply section , 30:45.527 --> 30:47.804 have their own website . Thank you sir . 30:48.060 --> 30:50.820 Gotta follow on . So you've pointed 30:50.820 --> 30:53.042 this at the security forces community . 30:53.042 --> 30:55.209 What do you think the applicability is 30:55.209 --> 30:57.376 outside of that ? I think this relates 30:57.376 --> 30:59.730 well to any shift workers that it gives 30:59.730 --> 31:01.897 them their time back . This could also 31:01.897 --> 31:04.119 be scaled to LRS . They would just have 31:04.119 --> 31:06.230 to be an accountability feature where 31:06.230 --> 31:05.820 you would sign for your stuff online 31:05.820 --> 31:07.931 rather than go in person and sign for 31:07.931 --> 31:11.590 it . Thank you Dylan . I just want to 31:11.590 --> 31:13.710 say thanks on behalf of FMS . See the 31:13.710 --> 31:15.821 judges here , we know this isn't your 31:15.821 --> 31:17.932 comfort zone , but you knocked it out 31:17.932 --> 31:20.043 of the park . Thanks for your passion 31:20.043 --> 31:19.960 and paying it forward . We know this 31:19.960 --> 31:22.238 essentially came out of your free time , 31:22.238 --> 31:24.182 your team , your partnership super 31:24.182 --> 31:26.404 proud to know you and for all your hard 31:26.404 --> 31:27.720 work , Congratulations 31:31.320 --> 31:35.120 defenders on revolutionizing the way 31:35.130 --> 31:37.352 the defenders can get their equipment . 31:37.352 --> 31:41.130 That was a fantastic pitch . And I love 31:41.140 --> 31:44.700 how Dylan was able to to combine 31:44.710 --> 31:46.932 another innovation , which is the smart 31:46.932 --> 31:49.230 lockers . Mr , as a , as a career 31:49.230 --> 31:51.680 defender . What do you think as a host 31:51.680 --> 31:53.791 of opportunity and capability that we 31:53.791 --> 31:56.640 need ? Uh , Dylan mentioned that 31:56.650 --> 31:59.180 there's an offset , the supply section 31:59.190 --> 32:01.301 currently has a responsibility . This 32:01.301 --> 32:03.412 will help them to do it better . Um , 32:03.412 --> 32:05.710 and I took a moment while he was 32:05.720 --> 32:08.200 speaking , I called the chief and he's 32:08.200 --> 32:10.367 gonna be reassigned to the center next 32:10.367 --> 32:13.930 week . Very , very quick colonel and uh , 32:13.940 --> 32:17.070 kind of a wider use of defenders on to 32:17.080 --> 32:19.191 everybody else . I mean , do you , do 32:19.191 --> 32:21.469 you think that you can see that future ? 32:21.469 --> 32:23.580 They're absolutely just coming out of 32:23.580 --> 32:25.802 msg at a job where I can physically see 32:25.802 --> 32:28.024 the warehouse right now where LRS folks 32:28.024 --> 32:27.980 are working nonstop turning stuff in 32:27.980 --> 32:29.850 and turn stuff out for deploy as 32:29.850 --> 32:32.017 defenders . All sorts of folks . I see 32:32.017 --> 32:34.183 that's applicable . What I really like 32:34.183 --> 32:36.183 though is is having a visual of the 32:36.183 --> 32:38.460 defenders , 12 hour shift and , and 32:38.460 --> 32:40.627 hearing the amount of time it's taking 32:40.627 --> 32:42.793 in the savings that you get on . A guy 32:42.793 --> 32:45.016 who has , who has to be on their a game 32:45.016 --> 32:47.238 all the time providing the security for 32:47.238 --> 32:49.404 an installation . So I think there's a 32:49.404 --> 32:51.404 lot of intrinsic then event that he 32:51.404 --> 32:53.460 speaks to as well as far as the work 32:53.460 --> 32:55.682 life balance for folks as well . I tell 32:55.682 --> 32:55.640 you , I might have a beard now and a 32:55.650 --> 32:57.817 couple of extra pounds more than I did 32:57.817 --> 32:59.983 a few years ago . But I was a defender 32:59.983 --> 33:02.150 working mid shift at one point in time 33:02.150 --> 33:04.261 and that that time back to the family 33:04.261 --> 33:06.261 and that defender downtime . That's 33:06.261 --> 33:08.428 huge . JD we're , we're , we're in the 33:08.428 --> 33:10.428 second half , we're on the downhill 33:10.428 --> 33:12.594 slide . What do you think ? So again ? 33:12.594 --> 33:12.350 You've heard me say it , but I can't , 33:12.350 --> 33:14.406 I don't really have anything else to 33:14.406 --> 33:16.239 add . What a great group . Super 33:16.239 --> 33:18.350 competitive . Very well thought out . 33:18.350 --> 33:20.239 The pitches are impressive . Very 33:20.239 --> 33:22.320 junior Airmen and Guardian here just 33:22.330 --> 33:24.700 bring in their game . Can't be more 33:24.700 --> 33:26.811 excited about the things that they're 33:26.811 --> 33:29.240 offering from technology from processes . 33:29.260 --> 33:31.427 Getting airmen there white spaces back 33:31.427 --> 33:33.649 tech . I love it . I appreciate all the 33:33.649 --> 33:35.816 judges , the engagement . I think as a 33:35.816 --> 33:37.871 team , we'd agree , we're excited to 33:37.871 --> 33:37.860 see what's left . It's going to be a 33:37.860 --> 33:40.027 tough decision . Well , our next pitch 33:40.027 --> 33:42.193 up as Lieutenant Colonel Kyle Kramer , 33:42.193 --> 33:44.590 he is very excited . He's ready to go . 33:44.600 --> 33:46.656 He's backstage . What do you think ? 33:46.656 --> 33:48.822 All right . Let's bring out Lieutenant 33:48.822 --> 33:49.933 Colonel Kyle Kramer 34:21.650 --> 34:23.730 at the end of the day . What do you 34:23.730 --> 34:27.550 wish you had more of time ? 34:27.560 --> 34:30.250 Exactly . It's finite . And it's 34:30.250 --> 34:32.660 critical in the decision making process 34:33.550 --> 34:35.740 throughout my entire career from 34:35.740 --> 34:38.470 acquisitions operations and now test , 34:38.480 --> 34:40.702 we've always tried to find a way to cut 34:40.702 --> 34:42.813 down that decision making process and 34:42.813 --> 34:45.980 timeline be it from days down to hours 34:45.990 --> 34:48.380 to influence future tasking emissions 34:48.390 --> 34:51.680 or decades down to years and months to 34:51.680 --> 34:53.770 rapidly develop and deploy new 34:53.770 --> 34:57.500 capability , but also data and 34:57.500 --> 34:59.900 specifically how we transport the data 34:59.900 --> 35:02.660 and the speed we share . It is critical 35:03.430 --> 35:06.640 Data is growing more and more every day . 35:06.650 --> 35:08.428 And what if I told you we could 35:08.428 --> 35:10.760 leverage our existing infrastructure , 35:10.770 --> 35:14.050 commercial hardware and now share data 35:14.060 --> 35:16.282 at speeds 800 times faster than what we 35:16.282 --> 35:19.530 do today . I present to you the toll 35:19.530 --> 35:22.150 booth of the future . Just kidding . 35:22.160 --> 35:25.180 But instead of talking about wavelength 35:25.190 --> 35:27.190 division multiplexing or optical 35:27.190 --> 35:29.660 transport networks , let's quickly talk 35:29.660 --> 35:32.850 about cars and highways . Cars . Is 35:32.850 --> 35:34.906 that data that we're trying to share 35:35.560 --> 35:38.540 the highway ? Is that infrastructure of 35:38.540 --> 35:41.480 how we transport that data Every single 35:41.480 --> 35:43.424 day . There are more and more cars 35:43.424 --> 35:45.313 trying to drive down that highway 35:45.313 --> 35:48.400 causing delays and congestion . What if 35:48.400 --> 35:50.567 I told you we could build a toll booth 35:50.567 --> 35:52.720 or switch in this case that can take 35:52.720 --> 35:56.510 100 cars , merge them into one car and 35:56.510 --> 35:59.170 send it down that highway and then at 35:59.170 --> 36:01.281 that distant end there's another toll 36:01.281 --> 36:03.340 booth that will split it out and 36:03.340 --> 36:05.530 everybody goes on their way and I'm 36:05.540 --> 36:07.920 just now freed up that highway to move 36:07.930 --> 36:11.170 even more cars slide please . 36:12.800 --> 36:14.890 The bottom line is we have to share 36:14.890 --> 36:17.220 data at speed . We have to be connected 36:17.220 --> 36:19.331 from mission partners to stakeholders 36:19.331 --> 36:21.164 to expedite that decision making 36:21.164 --> 36:24.370 process so that we at least maintain 36:24.380 --> 36:27.050 but gain more advantage and superiority . 36:27.060 --> 36:29.880 Again , data is growing exponentially 36:29.880 --> 36:32.290 every day to put that into perspective 36:32.290 --> 36:34.623 the space shuttle when it was developed , 36:34.623 --> 36:38.040 use 400,000 lines of code . The F- 36:38.040 --> 36:41.740 35 was devolved with 23.5 million lines 36:41.740 --> 36:44.770 of code . Also there are many units 36:44.770 --> 36:47.390 across the Air Force that either use or 36:47.390 --> 36:50.150 produce terabytes of data if not more . 36:50.160 --> 36:52.530 And what that equates to is you trying 36:52.530 --> 36:56.150 to stream 100 and 72 hour long HD 36:56.150 --> 36:58.930 movies simultaneously . We're quickly 36:58.930 --> 37:01.041 approaching petabytes . If we haven't 37:01.041 --> 37:03.152 reached it already , that then equals 37:03.152 --> 37:06.830 170,000 movies slide please . 37:09.110 --> 37:12.090 So the problem is that specifically is 37:12.090 --> 37:14.700 that the infrastructure is in excuse me , 37:14.700 --> 37:16.980 inadequate for next generation testing 37:16.980 --> 37:19.290 of systems . It only provides 10% of 37:19.290 --> 37:22.420 the capacity that we need and also the 37:22.420 --> 37:24.476 manual processes and the limitations 37:24.476 --> 37:26.890 that we face today cause us to rely on 37:26.890 --> 37:29.140 units to share what they can are able 37:29.140 --> 37:31.220 to where we want to be in a position 37:31.230 --> 37:33.230 that we can go out and discover all 37:33.230 --> 37:35.620 that data and I can pull anything and 37:35.620 --> 37:37.842 everything that I could possibly want . 37:38.340 --> 37:40.284 Luckily the solution is commercial 37:40.284 --> 37:42.710 hardware that's extremely teyla rubble , 37:42.720 --> 37:45.460 highly reliable , mature and that can 37:45.460 --> 37:47.530 provide a customer 10 gigabits per 37:47.530 --> 37:49.830 second . All the way up to 800 gigabits 37:49.840 --> 37:53.000 gigabits per second dedicated as they 37:53.000 --> 37:55.840 need it . This will transition us into 37:55.840 --> 37:58.190 an automated , almost near real time 37:58.190 --> 38:01.170 capability of sharing data and at Eglin 38:01.170 --> 38:03.720 we're going to connect 18 organizations 38:03.720 --> 38:06.810 across 43 sites . This is easily 38:06.810 --> 38:09.780 scalable across other bases match comms 38:09.790 --> 38:13.220 and even services slide please . 38:15.270 --> 38:18.320 So the need our senior leadership talks 38:18.330 --> 38:20.510 every day we have to be connected . We 38:20.510 --> 38:22.790 have to share information to maintain 38:22.790 --> 38:24.900 that superiority . But let me put it 38:24.900 --> 38:27.630 another way we've developed aircraft 38:27.640 --> 38:30.450 that can fly at mach speed to deliver 38:30.450 --> 38:33.050 effects or support troops in contact . 38:33.060 --> 38:34.838 The same is true in the digital 38:34.838 --> 38:36.949 environment . We have to deliver data 38:36.949 --> 38:40.130 at mach speed , Luckily the momentum is 38:40.130 --> 38:42.352 there and we don't have to recreate the 38:42.352 --> 38:44.408 wheel . This is an industry standard 38:44.408 --> 38:46.850 that is proven and used every day . We 38:46.850 --> 38:48.739 have a small team in place that's 38:48.739 --> 38:50.961 already made significant progress . The 38:50.961 --> 38:53.260 initial phase is already on contract 38:53.270 --> 38:55.230 and funded and will be complete by 38:55.230 --> 38:58.510 January 23 were now in a second phase 38:58.510 --> 39:00.710 that will be on contract in September 39:00.720 --> 39:02.960 but we do lack full funding for that 39:04.250 --> 39:08.010 slide please . So this is 39:08.020 --> 39:10.690 consists of a small team at Eglin Air 39:10.690 --> 39:12.770 Force base of three units . It's a 39:12.770 --> 39:15.130 notable collaboration between the 45th 39:15.140 --> 39:17.830 test Squadron , the 47th cyberspace 39:17.830 --> 39:20.010 test squadron as well as the 96 com 39:20.010 --> 39:22.510 squadron and of the six stakeholders 39:22.510 --> 39:24.288 you see up there that represent 39:24.288 --> 39:26.530 research acquisitions , tests and 39:26.530 --> 39:29.480 operations . NBE will impact and 39:29.480 --> 39:33.350 support three major commands slide 39:33.350 --> 39:37.260 please . So I want to remind 39:37.260 --> 39:39.371 you luckily our second effort will be 39:39.371 --> 39:41.593 on contract in september and we can use 39:41.593 --> 39:43.816 both use both O and M and R . D . T and 39:43.816 --> 39:45.927 funding and we can incrementally fund 39:45.927 --> 39:47.704 this effort as the funds become 39:47.704 --> 39:50.070 available . So today I'm asking for 39:50.070 --> 39:53.860 $539,000 to help conduct power 39:53.860 --> 39:56.620 modifications and hardware by as needed . 39:57.310 --> 40:00.030 And please help me move those cars down 40:00.030 --> 40:03.290 that highway at mach speed . Thank you 40:03.290 --> 40:05.401 for your time and I'm happy to answer 40:05.401 --> 40:08.170 any questions . Thanks so much . We 40:08.180 --> 40:10.402 heard a little bit of behind the scenes 40:10.402 --> 40:13.240 of prepping for this briefing and the 40:13.250 --> 40:15.417 expertise you have behind it and being 40:15.417 --> 40:17.583 able to make that in a language that's 40:17.583 --> 40:19.750 relatable to the rest of us . The toll 40:19.750 --> 40:21.639 booth and the cars was absolutely 40:21.639 --> 40:23.750 perfect . So congratulations on being 40:23.750 --> 40:25.917 able to bring it down to a level where 40:25.917 --> 40:25.650 the civil engineer can understand it . 40:25.660 --> 40:27.716 So thank you very much for that . So 40:27.716 --> 40:29.827 I'll open it up to the judges if they 40:29.827 --> 40:32.220 have any questions . I have a quick 40:32.220 --> 40:34.970 question , how secure is it ? So 40:34.970 --> 40:37.720 luckily this is independent agnostic of 40:37.720 --> 40:40.010 the security aspect . So that data , 40:40.010 --> 40:42.540 the communication is already encrypted 40:42.550 --> 40:45.300 before it hits hits those switches . 40:45.310 --> 40:48.110 This is purely the transport of that 40:48.110 --> 40:50.940 data so the security will be in place 40:50.940 --> 40:53.430 and we're not touching that this is 40:53.430 --> 40:55.860 just moving data faster . Thank you . 40:55.870 --> 40:59.800 Yes , Sorry I apologize . I think you 40:59.800 --> 41:01.856 did a great job on your presentation 41:01.856 --> 41:04.078 and the amount of teaming that you have 41:04.078 --> 41:06.189 done already is pretty impressive and 41:06.189 --> 41:05.930 that you've already gone through the 41:05.930 --> 41:07.874 phases . I want to go to kind of a 41:07.874 --> 41:09.874 tactical question . Tell me how you 41:09.874 --> 41:11.930 determined that we were only meeting 41:11.930 --> 41:13.986 10% capacity in our current business 41:13.986 --> 41:16.360 model . Um So currently at Eglin Air 41:16.360 --> 41:18.360 Force Base we have a 10 gigabit per 41:18.360 --> 41:20.520 second fiber optic network there in 41:20.520 --> 41:23.970 place . Um but that is shared . So 41:23.970 --> 41:26.470 across Egland is a nine wing equivalent 41:26.480 --> 41:29.470 with 36 units in that turns into 41:29.480 --> 41:31.960 thousands of program offices from A F . 41:31.960 --> 41:33.670 R . L . Two , the testing and 41:33.670 --> 41:35.400 acquisitions . So there was a 41:35.410 --> 41:38.540 government estimate of the current 41:38.540 --> 41:40.651 requirement in the future requirement 41:40.651 --> 41:42.762 with the expansion of Eglin Air Force 41:42.762 --> 41:45.730 Base of the capacity that's there ? Yes 41:45.730 --> 41:49.300 ma'am Kyle , this is 41:49.310 --> 41:52.770 exciting defender . It's exciting . 41:53.530 --> 41:57.190 Um the A six we we saw your 41:57.190 --> 41:59.270 partnerships is the A six got any 41:59.270 --> 42:02.890 visibility on this unfolding at all 42:02.900 --> 42:05.067 from your , from your knowledge , have 42:05.067 --> 42:07.122 you been in contact with them at the 42:07.122 --> 42:09.360 half A six level ? I'm sorry . Um 42:09.370 --> 42:11.630 possibly I would have to get back to 42:11.630 --> 42:15.230 you to confirm that . But Glenn is , we 42:15.230 --> 42:17.286 saw a need there , they start paving 42:17.286 --> 42:19.063 the way um this has been gotten 42:19.063 --> 42:21.230 attention at the Air Force test Center 42:21.230 --> 42:23.119 um to expand that across the test 42:23.119 --> 42:25.286 enterprise and I would I would have to 42:25.286 --> 42:28.140 assume but I have to confirm with you 42:28.150 --> 42:30.810 how high that it's made it up the chain 42:30.830 --> 42:32.719 and I ask is because this is that 42:32.719 --> 42:34.719 exciting and I would hope that they 42:34.719 --> 42:36.941 would see it and want to help you along 42:36.941 --> 42:38.886 the path . So thank you for that . 42:38.886 --> 42:42.110 Thank you . Yeah , I'm 42:42.110 --> 42:44.220 struck the same kind of question . I 42:44.220 --> 42:46.553 was thinking thinking about staff C . N . 42:46.553 --> 42:48.720 And you know when something that seems 42:48.720 --> 42:51.230 like 100 to 1 sounds great . So then 42:51.230 --> 42:53.960 the question is why doesn't the 42:53.960 --> 42:57.890 enterprise C . 100 and 100 to 42:57.890 --> 43:00.970 1 and implement it de facto rather than 43:00.970 --> 43:03.670 have a herculean effort to try to build 43:03.670 --> 43:05.837 it from the ground up ? And that's and 43:05.837 --> 43:08.059 I don't know if it's because maybe it's 43:08.059 --> 43:10.114 because the technology is new enough 43:10.114 --> 43:12.337 and the bureaucracy is slow enough that 43:12.337 --> 43:14.503 we're we that doesn't quite mesh quite 43:14.503 --> 43:16.670 yet or I don't know if you if you have 43:16.670 --> 43:18.670 any thoughts on that . Yes sir . So 43:18.670 --> 43:20.892 great question . Now I wanna my pitches 43:20.892 --> 43:23.059 to highlight the technology is there . 43:23.059 --> 43:25.420 But I would have to clarify that . Our 43:25.420 --> 43:27.960 initial effort is for non core networks . 43:27.970 --> 43:30.137 So if you're where core networks is if 43:30.137 --> 43:32.248 you think of nipper sipper our day to 43:32.248 --> 43:34.830 day network where we do our email we 43:34.830 --> 43:37.180 are proving this out on the non core 43:37.190 --> 43:39.390 network we have in place which is our 43:39.400 --> 43:41.490 defense our development research and 43:41.490 --> 43:43.760 engineering networks in a lot of the 43:43.760 --> 43:46.240 networks that program offices the labs 43:46.240 --> 43:49.190 that they use to push that that data 43:49.240 --> 43:51.184 and we'll prove it out there . But 43:51.184 --> 43:53.184 again this is a commercial hardware 43:53.184 --> 43:55.351 solution that you could if you have an 43:55.351 --> 43:57.640 optical transport network in place you 43:57.640 --> 43:59.584 can lay this hardware on there and 43:59.584 --> 44:01.751 achieve the same throughput ? How long 44:01.751 --> 44:04.310 is how old is the technology ? I would 44:04.310 --> 44:07.330 have to confirm that . Um , but I think 44:07.340 --> 44:09.340 relatively new within the past five 44:09.340 --> 44:12.180 years . Um , it is the model like , you 44:12.180 --> 44:16.050 know defender finance guy . So 44:16.060 --> 44:18.300 is the model like hey I met a , I got 44:18.300 --> 44:20.411 my laptop and I got a , how you doing 44:20.411 --> 44:22.300 on it and I get 100 to 1 or is it 44:22.300 --> 44:24.467 something where it's like no , there's 44:24.467 --> 44:26.522 a , there's a hardware piece . We're 44:26.522 --> 44:28.744 thinking about replacing switches , old 44:28.744 --> 44:31.600 9 11 , switches Type switches from the 44:31.600 --> 44:33.340 90s . Right . So we've got big 44:33.350 --> 44:35.406 telephone switches and that's what I 44:35.406 --> 44:37.739 think about when I think about switches . 44:37.739 --> 44:39.961 What does this look like ? Is it like a 44:39.961 --> 44:42.180 little thing that's in a back room or 44:42.180 --> 44:44.458 is it a room or is it something that's , 44:44.458 --> 44:46.736 you know , connected to my laptop . Um , 44:46.736 --> 44:48.958 so if you go into your back , your back 44:48.958 --> 44:51.124 room com closet , you'll see your rack 44:51.124 --> 44:53.180 with , with switches . It is to that 44:53.180 --> 44:55.740 level . It is not major infrastructure . 44:55.750 --> 44:57.550 Um , we're just plugging in new 44:57.550 --> 44:59.800 switches . Um , that would look no 44:59.800 --> 45:01.744 different than those , those older 45:01.744 --> 45:04.390 versions that you see today . Thank you . 45:06.000 --> 45:08.111 If it's available commercially . Tell 45:08.111 --> 45:09.833 me a little bit more about the 45:09.833 --> 45:11.889 prototyping that's needed to make it 45:11.889 --> 45:13.944 effective at Eglin . Um , so luckily 45:13.944 --> 45:16.350 the prototyping , it's been proven out 45:16.360 --> 45:18.638 in the commercial industry . Excuse me . 45:18.638 --> 45:20.971 There's not much prototyping to be done . 45:20.971 --> 45:23.470 It's how we integrate that into our 45:23.470 --> 45:26.570 existing D . O . D . Infrastructure and 45:26.570 --> 45:28.780 then showing that the speeds are there 45:28.790 --> 45:31.012 and then the use cases of how all these 45:31.012 --> 45:34.170 organizations are able to share data in 45:34.180 --> 45:36.291 the reel near time impact that it can 45:36.291 --> 45:38.458 provide . And how many switches are we 45:38.458 --> 45:40.458 talking about Kyle for your tests , 45:40.458 --> 45:42.569 like how many switches would your ask 45:42.569 --> 45:46.270 get you ? Um so for the second phase it 45:46.270 --> 45:48.500 would be three sites and we would 45:48.500 --> 45:51.760 install uh eight switches . 45:54.330 --> 45:58.170 Anybody else again , Kyle , thanks so 45:58.170 --> 46:00.392 much , Really appreciate you being able 46:00.392 --> 46:02.114 to present this very technical 46:02.114 --> 46:03.892 presentation in a way that this 46:03.892 --> 46:05.837 audience is able to understand and 46:05.837 --> 46:08.059 appreciate . We know a lot of hard work 46:08.059 --> 46:09.837 went into it and we know you're 46:09.837 --> 46:09.750 supported by a great team in England , 46:09.760 --> 46:11.704 thanks for all that . You do super 46:11.704 --> 46:13.816 exciting . We look forward to hearing 46:13.816 --> 46:15.927 more about it . Thank you . Thank you 46:15.927 --> 46:14.780 for the opportunity . 46:20.160 --> 46:22.327 All right , judges , what do you think 46:22.327 --> 46:24.438 you're tallying up your scores ? It's 46:24.438 --> 46:27.460 hard for me to do right now is going up 46:27.470 --> 46:29.526 and down . We're getting towards the 46:29.526 --> 46:32.000 end . You think , well , I've said it 46:32.010 --> 46:34.790 before , any of them came out this is 46:34.800 --> 46:37.950 a lot tougher than we might think 46:37.950 --> 46:39.700 sitting here , judging anybody 46:39.700 --> 46:42.990 listening in . They've met previous 46:42.990 --> 46:44.768 test , they're the best of this 46:44.768 --> 46:46.712 particular competition and they're 46:46.712 --> 46:50.200 proving to us why uh wow , just wow is 46:50.200 --> 46:52.256 all I can say to it . It's great . I 46:52.256 --> 46:54.478 think for me , one of the things is I'm 46:54.478 --> 46:56.690 not technically astute enough to know 46:56.700 --> 46:58.756 anything . So it's like , wow , that 46:58.756 --> 47:00.811 sounds pretty good and it all sounds 47:00.811 --> 47:03.380 pretty good and I guess what I want , 47:03.390 --> 47:05.223 each of them to know . In fact , 47:05.223 --> 47:07.334 everybody who submitted is that , you 47:07.334 --> 47:10.470 know , it's gonna be three , but the 47:10.470 --> 47:12.692 other five , there will still be venues 47:12.692 --> 47:15.070 to be able to pursue the ideas and the 47:15.070 --> 47:17.070 other , whatever the number is , 60 47:17.070 --> 47:19.910 whatever . Um there are still venues to 47:19.910 --> 47:22.270 be able to pursue the ideas and not to 47:22.270 --> 47:25.140 like , you know , I find in my career , 47:25.150 --> 47:27.480 folks who don't take don't take no for 47:27.480 --> 47:29.960 an answer , continue to pursue and they 47:29.960 --> 47:32.071 know it's the right thing to do , you 47:32.071 --> 47:34.293 can still get results . So this is just 47:34.293 --> 47:36.349 one step in the process , but uh I'm 47:36.349 --> 47:38.404 struck by the fact that uh , that um 47:38.404 --> 47:40.627 each of them , not only that , but also 47:40.627 --> 47:42.516 also that each of them is kind of 47:42.516 --> 47:44.793 addressing a separate problem . I mean , 47:44.793 --> 47:47.260 this isn't like eight um similar things . 47:47.270 --> 47:49.492 Uh so anyway , that's what I found kind 47:49.492 --> 47:51.548 of interesting about it . Well , I'm 47:51.548 --> 47:53.437 looking forward to the last two . 47:53.437 --> 47:55.770 Should we see what's going on backstage , 47:55.770 --> 47:58.350 Jason back to you . Mhm . We are back 47:58.360 --> 48:00.450 backstage here again at Tech Support 48:00.450 --> 48:02.670 Center and arena in ports san Antonio 48:02.670 --> 48:05.720 texas . We've got two presenters left 48:05.720 --> 48:08.150 to go for innovation , rodeo 2022 . 48:08.160 --> 48:10.104 We're gonna check on Tech Sergeant 48:10.104 --> 48:12.049 brian trumpet and staff sergeant , 48:12.049 --> 48:14.271 Anthony Davis as they get ready to make 48:14.271 --> 48:16.549 the final two pitches of the afternoon ? 48:16.880 --> 48:19.510 All right here we are there , ready to 48:19.510 --> 48:21.732 go there , jump into it . Tech Sergeant 48:21.740 --> 48:24.010 trumpet , How you feeling ? Good , 48:24.010 --> 48:26.650 Jason , you're you look nervous , 48:26.650 --> 48:28.928 You're you're in your interview stance , 48:28.928 --> 48:31.410 man . You ready to go ? How does , how 48:31.410 --> 48:33.521 do you feel that this week has been ? 48:33.521 --> 48:35.743 Oh , it's been great , great training , 48:35.743 --> 48:35.660 great training to get us pushed out 48:35.660 --> 48:37.993 there , ready to go . You feel like the , 48:37.993 --> 48:39.993 you know , you're ready to go pitch 48:39.993 --> 48:42.327 this thing . I sure hope so . All right , 48:42.327 --> 48:42.200 Sergeant Davis , come on up here , come 48:42.200 --> 48:44.400 on up here . So I came in and told you 48:44.400 --> 48:46.400 earlier , but I actually got a text 48:46.400 --> 48:48.400 from an old friend of mine watching 48:48.400 --> 48:50.456 from MacDIll . He's the , the SCL of 48:50.456 --> 48:52.511 innovations there and he said , good 48:52.511 --> 48:54.678 luck . So you got anybody else back at 48:54.678 --> 48:56.844 Macdill , watching my wife and the two 48:56.844 --> 48:59.122 dogs . Hi , how you doing ? And my mom , 48:59.122 --> 49:01.390 Hi , Hi mom . It always works how you 49:01.390 --> 49:03.446 feel . Sergeant Davis , you you feel 49:03.446 --> 49:05.446 like you're prepared to go . You're 49:05.446 --> 49:07.557 nervous . I am a little bit nervous , 49:07.557 --> 49:09.779 but hopefully the put me through . Oh , 49:09.779 --> 49:09.660 I think it will . You got you got some 49:09.660 --> 49:11.630 great ideas and ready to innovate 49:11.640 --> 49:13.696 judges . The last two presenters are 49:13.696 --> 49:16.450 ready to go . What do you think ? 49:52.620 --> 49:55.550 Boom , incident happens suspect takes 49:55.550 --> 49:57.606 off running my partner and I look at 49:57.606 --> 49:59.550 each other , we take off after the 49:59.550 --> 50:01.494 suspect . Now I'm a lot bigger and 50:01.494 --> 50:03.494 faster than my partner . So after a 50:03.494 --> 50:05.606 minute I lose him another minute goes 50:05.606 --> 50:07.772 by , Here's something hit the ground . 50:07.772 --> 50:09.994 Can't look . Can't stop . Gotta get the 50:09.994 --> 50:11.939 suspect . Another minute goes by . 50:11.939 --> 50:14.106 Catch up to the suspect . We go to the 50:14.106 --> 50:16.161 ground again . Control reach from my 50:16.161 --> 50:18.217 radio . It's gone . It's a problem . 50:18.217 --> 50:20.328 Look around from my partner . Partner 50:20.328 --> 50:22.740 is gone . What's the problem ? Look 50:22.740 --> 50:24.573 down at the suspect . That's the 50:24.573 --> 50:26.790 problem . Well , let's talk about the 50:26.790 --> 50:30.670 real problem . Slide Gear . 50:30.680 --> 50:32.791 Security forces carry on average , 40 50:32.791 --> 50:35.410 plus pounds of gear , not your best , 50:35.410 --> 50:37.890 your ammo , your weapons and so on . We 50:37.890 --> 50:39.946 have a lot of required items that we 50:39.946 --> 50:42.170 have to carry . The smaller ones , your 50:42.170 --> 50:44.540 radios , nonlethal cameras , 50:44.550 --> 50:47.250 flashlights and all that can add up to 50:47.250 --> 50:49.472 some smaller weight , but it still adds 50:49.472 --> 50:51.528 to your body about £11 . Now , that 50:51.528 --> 50:53.639 adds stress over time . Your 8 , 10 , 50:53.639 --> 50:56.070 12 , 14 hour shifts . You're talking 50:56.080 --> 50:58.413 neck pain , shoulder issues , back pain , 50:58.413 --> 51:01.680 hips , knees , That's a problem . 51:02.510 --> 51:04.732 Now . Also , security forces want to be 51:04.732 --> 51:06.954 standardized , but security forces come 51:06.954 --> 51:09.121 in all shapes and sizes . I'm proof of 51:09.121 --> 51:13.080 that . Wouldn't it be great if you went 51:13.080 --> 51:15.550 for your radio and it was there , you 51:15.550 --> 51:17.717 didn't have to worry about losing your 51:17.717 --> 51:19.717 flashlight or even worse misplacing 51:19.717 --> 51:21.717 your non lethal capabilities . Good 51:21.717 --> 51:23.810 news . There is a solution slide 51:26.170 --> 51:29.120 the wearable defender . One item 51:29.130 --> 51:31.130 conveniently located on the wares , 51:31.130 --> 51:34.830 forearm that takes eight items into one , 51:34.840 --> 51:37.060 reducing the overall weight from £11 51:37.060 --> 51:40.730 by 80% down to £2 conveniently located 51:40.740 --> 51:43.780 right in front of the where you have 51:43.780 --> 51:45.780 your com equipment to where you can 51:45.780 --> 51:47.780 communicate and receive orders from 51:47.780 --> 51:49.891 baby doc . You have one patrol out in 51:49.891 --> 51:52.002 the field , you need to talk to , you 51:52.002 --> 51:51.850 can send messages directly to that 51:51.850 --> 51:54.260 patrol . You have a message that you 51:54.260 --> 51:56.510 need to get across to everybody . Send 51:56.510 --> 51:58.850 it to everybody . You have your non 51:58.850 --> 52:00.961 lethal capability that you never have 52:00.961 --> 52:02.906 to worry about losing . You have a 52:02.906 --> 52:04.906 camera on here . If you have a gate 52:04.906 --> 52:07.017 runner , all you have to do point and 52:07.017 --> 52:09.128 start recording . You can capture the 52:09.128 --> 52:11.350 license plate and it will automatically 52:11.350 --> 52:13.294 read and start running the license 52:13.294 --> 52:15.461 plate of the vehicle . You arrive at a 52:15.461 --> 52:14.950 crime scene , you don't want to mess 52:14.950 --> 52:17.061 anything up so you start recording to 52:17.061 --> 52:19.228 preserve evidence as you find it where 52:19.228 --> 52:22.070 it is . Additionally , you no longer 52:22.070 --> 52:24.830 have to worry about your work related 52:24.830 --> 52:27.810 injuries . Also with that it has a 52:27.810 --> 52:30.280 twofold manpower saving ability inside 52:30.280 --> 52:33.980 the armory gear issue and turn in also , 52:33.990 --> 52:36.380 it saves the defender time with 52:36.380 --> 52:38.380 accountability of all those items . 52:38.380 --> 52:41.640 Also saves your overall gear footprint 52:41.650 --> 52:43.706 inside your armory and other storage 52:43.706 --> 52:45.900 facilities slide . 52:48.320 --> 52:50.431 We have the right people in the right 52:50.431 --> 52:52.487 place at the right time to make this 52:52.487 --> 52:54.653 happen where I am the project champion 52:54.653 --> 52:56.876 with a great support team behind me are 52:56.876 --> 52:58.987 key stakeholders are willing and able 52:58.987 --> 53:01.209 to push this prototype out to the field 53:01.209 --> 53:03.100 for beta testing Slide 53:03.280 --> 53:07.090 that is where you all come in with the 53:07.090 --> 53:10.450 initial ask of $250,000 to where we can 53:10.450 --> 53:12.680 get 80 of these units out to the field 53:12.690 --> 53:15.130 for further testing . Also , we're 53:15.130 --> 53:17.186 asking for senior leader endorsement 53:17.186 --> 53:19.241 for future sippers so we can further 53:19.241 --> 53:21.408 develop this technology to better suit 53:21.408 --> 53:24.240 and fit defender needs think back to 53:24.240 --> 53:26.950 that chase you reach for your radio . 53:26.960 --> 53:29.440 It's right here , you outrun your 53:29.440 --> 53:31.790 partner . It's all right . He can see 53:31.790 --> 53:33.901 you on the GPS and he will get to you 53:33.901 --> 53:35.734 and if he can't be doc will send 53:35.734 --> 53:37.957 additional patrols . Thank you for your 53:37.957 --> 53:41.240 time field . Any questions brian ? 53:41.240 --> 53:43.860 Thanks so much . The first pitch with 53:43.870 --> 53:45.703 show and tell can't beat it . So 53:45.703 --> 53:47.926 excited to hear a little bit more about 53:47.926 --> 53:50.570 it judges any questions for brian . Can 53:50.570 --> 53:52.514 you tell us a little bit about the 53:52.514 --> 53:54.403 battery life ? So you're gonna be 53:54.403 --> 53:53.740 wearing that for ? How long ? What's 53:53.740 --> 53:55.940 the recharge ? Yes , thank you . Great 53:55.940 --> 53:58.162 question . So the battery lasted around 53:58.162 --> 54:00.273 eight hours depending on how much you 54:00.273 --> 54:00.070 use it . But it has a hot swappable 54:00.070 --> 54:03.130 battery capability , has a capability . 54:03.140 --> 54:05.920 Hot swappable battery so old and new 54:05.920 --> 54:09.070 one . And would the vision be to have 54:09.070 --> 54:11.237 it something that's deployable as well 54:11.237 --> 54:13.237 outside of , you know , standard us 54:13.237 --> 54:15.530 based networks and all that in the , in 54:15.530 --> 54:17.752 the future . That's where we would love 54:17.752 --> 54:19.697 to take it . And um , you know , I 54:19.697 --> 54:21.808 don't know what it's affinities right 54:21.808 --> 54:23.808 now . I mean , handhelds , Motorola 54:23.808 --> 54:25.919 radios and stuff like that is there's 54:25.919 --> 54:28.141 upgrades , etcetera , etcetera . What's 54:28.141 --> 54:30.363 the thought on being these capabilities 54:30.363 --> 54:32.474 hardwired in here . Are they plug and 54:32.474 --> 54:34.586 play ? What's the what's the vision ? 54:34.586 --> 54:34.480 It would be hard wired into here . It 54:34.480 --> 54:36.147 would be a one stop shop that 54:36.147 --> 54:39.560 everything's right here . So up 54:39.560 --> 54:43.500 datable um new system comes out new 54:43.500 --> 54:46.020 updates you just plug into your USB and 54:46.250 --> 54:50.160 update and go so as you 54:50.160 --> 54:52.870 said um brian defenders come in all 54:52.870 --> 54:55.310 shapes and sizes so well that device in 54:55.310 --> 54:57.950 the future come in all shapes and sizes 54:57.960 --> 55:00.960 as to include a left hand right hand 55:00.960 --> 55:03.900 option . Yes it will and right now it's 55:03.900 --> 55:05.956 one solid piece but it's going to be 55:05.956 --> 55:08.122 broken down with live hinges so it can 55:08.122 --> 55:09.956 wrench down and actually fit the 55:09.956 --> 55:12.122 wearer's arm better . But yes I will . 55:12.122 --> 55:14.520 Thank you for your question brian am I 55:14.520 --> 55:17.930 to understand that the limited 55:17.940 --> 55:21.220 utility license , a utility limited 55:21.220 --> 55:23.860 numbers in the field today is due to 55:23.860 --> 55:25.916 the fact that this is new technology 55:25.916 --> 55:28.082 we're on the front end of everything . 55:28.082 --> 55:30.027 Yes . Okay so we want to get those 55:30.027 --> 55:31.971 initial 80 units out there for the 55:31.971 --> 55:33.638 initial testing so we can see 55:33.638 --> 55:35.638 eventually for the cyber what works 55:35.638 --> 55:37.916 what doesn't what can we improve on it ? 55:37.916 --> 55:40.138 Are we working with the L . A . P . D . 55:40.138 --> 55:42.249 For lessons learned so that we're not 55:42.249 --> 55:42.120 repeating some of the shortfalls that 55:42.120 --> 55:45.650 they've had . Yes sir . Okay . And uh 55:45.660 --> 55:49.330 again sustainment and cost you you're 55:49.330 --> 55:52.540 pretty comfortable that we can afford 55:52.550 --> 55:54.950 this product because as in the past 55:54.960 --> 55:58.650 with cameras , uh worn cameras , body 55:58.650 --> 56:00.761 worn cameras and such , we discovered 56:00.761 --> 56:02.920 that it just costed us out . It was 56:02.920 --> 56:05.031 just too costly for us to implement . 56:05.031 --> 56:07.510 Yes . So right now we are only $10,000 56:07.520 --> 56:11.320 over the status quo with this as the 56:11.320 --> 56:14.120 new sustainment . And was there a 56:14.120 --> 56:16.470 drawdown cost by integrating all those 56:16.480 --> 56:18.660 different phenomenology is that can 56:18.660 --> 56:21.160 show some type of savings or was it 56:21.160 --> 56:23.290 more expensive ? Have you done that 56:23.290 --> 56:26.260 type of long term financial ? I have 56:26.260 --> 56:28.371 not , but I can do it and get back to 56:28.371 --> 56:30.538 you . Thank you . Thank you sir . That 56:30.538 --> 56:32.482 should be part of your pitch . You 56:32.482 --> 56:34.704 saved funds by not by the 810 pieces of 56:34.704 --> 56:36.704 equipment that you have embedded in 56:36.704 --> 56:38.927 there . You're now no longer purchasing 56:38.927 --> 56:38.810 through the supply equipment . So 56:38.810 --> 56:40.921 that's a good story line that you can 56:40.921 --> 56:44.900 tell functionality . Obviously you're 56:44.900 --> 56:47.280 used to having the radio , having the 56:47.290 --> 56:50.340 camera , the flashlight . Have you 56:50.340 --> 56:53.160 spent a lot of time with it to see how 56:53.160 --> 56:56.560 functional it is on a when you're 56:56.570 --> 56:58.737 grappling with somebody or when you're 56:58.737 --> 57:01.190 chasing somebody having to , you're 57:01.190 --> 57:04.240 right handed right assuming . So now 57:04.240 --> 57:06.410 you have to do multiple things while 57:06.410 --> 57:08.670 you're holding a gun to try and turn 57:08.670 --> 57:11.800 flashlight , do my calls or is it a 57:11.810 --> 57:13.866 audio thing that I can just activate 57:13.866 --> 57:15.977 with voice . So it's not quite to the 57:15.977 --> 57:18.199 audio thing to activate things you will 57:18.199 --> 57:20.310 have to reach over and use your other 57:20.310 --> 57:22.143 hand , if need be there are some 57:22.143 --> 57:24.254 smaller things , there's buttons here 57:24.254 --> 57:26.477 to turn the flashlight on and off . But 57:26.477 --> 57:28.477 you will have to reach over and you 57:28.477 --> 57:30.643 said ease of movement , reaching for a 57:30.643 --> 57:34.250 button , it's same copy . Just instead 57:34.250 --> 57:36.361 of reaching here down here , you just 57:36.361 --> 57:38.361 got to get used to reaching over to 57:38.361 --> 57:40.528 your other arm . Thank you . Thank you 57:42.910 --> 57:45.990 waiver . 57:46.580 --> 57:48.802 We're talking about L . A . P . D . And 57:48.802 --> 57:51.080 stuff . You know , there's a different , 57:51.080 --> 57:53.191 different means to an end , right one 57:53.191 --> 57:55.080 would be follow them and purchase 57:55.080 --> 57:57.358 whatever comes out of there , you know , 57:57.358 --> 57:59.413 um testing , evaluation and all that 57:59.413 --> 58:01.358 kind of stuff . Any thoughts along 58:01.358 --> 58:03.413 those lines , it would be good to be 58:03.413 --> 58:05.524 able to follow what they do . If they 58:05.524 --> 58:07.691 have a good final version and it works 58:07.691 --> 58:09.802 and we can purchase it then why not ? 58:09.802 --> 58:12.270 But if we can customize it to suit our 58:12.270 --> 58:14.270 needs because our needs are very 58:14.270 --> 58:18.120 different than the L A P D . Then I 58:18.120 --> 58:20.453 think that would also be a great option . 58:20.530 --> 58:23.340 That leads me to a competition question . 58:23.350 --> 58:26.460 It's the same vendor for LAPD and us or 58:26.460 --> 58:28.516 are there multiple vendors out there 58:28.516 --> 58:30.682 who are working in this space ? Do you 58:30.682 --> 58:30.560 know anything about that ? You could 58:30.560 --> 58:32.710 share right now , to my knowledge , 58:32.710 --> 58:34.830 there's only one vendor that makes an 58:34.830 --> 58:36.886 all encompassing product . There are 58:36.886 --> 58:39.700 vendors that make a tablet like device 58:39.700 --> 58:41.533 or non lethal but to have an all 58:41.533 --> 58:43.700 encompassing device . There's only one 58:43.700 --> 58:46.720 vendor that I know , Thanks any other 58:46.720 --> 58:50.360 questions brian thanks so much the hard 58:50.360 --> 58:52.360 work that you put in this week . It 58:52.360 --> 58:54.416 really shows love the support of the 58:54.416 --> 58:56.471 team and the innovation really great 58:56.471 --> 58:58.693 job . Just want to applaud you and your 58:58.693 --> 59:01.027 effort bringing here to the stage today . 59:01.027 --> 59:00.490 Thank you so much . Thank you . Thank 59:00.490 --> 59:01.490 you Everyone 59:04.250 --> 59:06.970 judges . I just want to tell you that a 59:06.970 --> 59:09.350 wise person once told me don't dress 59:09.350 --> 59:11.406 for the job , you have dress for the 59:11.406 --> 59:13.572 job you want and I want to be batman . 59:13.572 --> 59:15.770 I want to have that thing on my wrist 59:15.780 --> 59:18.250 to be able to to do flashlights and 59:18.250 --> 59:20.440 lasers and , and tasers and and all of 59:20.440 --> 59:22.718 that stuff . What an outstanding pitch . 59:22.718 --> 59:24.884 J . D . What do you think ? So I agree 59:24.884 --> 59:27.107 the show and tell and my family is also 59:27.107 --> 59:29.051 a fan of batman taking us into the 59:29.051 --> 59:31.273 future . I love the tech aspect of it . 59:31.273 --> 59:33.440 It's what you often are excited to see 59:33.440 --> 59:35.607 about innovation radio not taking away 59:35.607 --> 59:37.829 from the other teams and maybe a little 59:37.829 --> 59:37.240 process oriented , maybe not as far 59:37.240 --> 59:39.240 along in the , in the process to be 59:39.240 --> 59:41.407 able to have a prototype to bring with 59:41.407 --> 59:43.518 us . I also love that he's partnering 59:43.518 --> 59:45.740 engaging with LAPD that really reaching 59:45.740 --> 59:47.796 outside of our normal network . Just 59:47.796 --> 59:49.518 shows a lot of passion and due 59:49.518 --> 59:51.629 diligence to bring us technology that 59:51.629 --> 59:53.851 is is very scalable and and very much a 59:53.851 --> 59:55.907 reality now . So super exciting . So 59:55.907 --> 59:58.073 this is something we like to see right 59:58.073 --> 59:57.750 is reaching outside and finding you 59:57.750 --> 01:00:00.550 know like in in in the in the world and 01:00:00.550 --> 01:00:02.772 and and looking what they're innovating 01:00:02.772 --> 01:00:04.828 that we can we can translate to that 01:00:04.828 --> 01:00:07.106 air force and like you said with the L . 01:00:07.106 --> 01:00:09.328 A . P . D . And L . A . County sheriffs 01:00:09.328 --> 01:00:11.494 and having that mr J we're gonna defer 01:00:11.494 --> 01:00:13.272 back to you as the as the panel 01:00:13.272 --> 01:00:15.383 defender . What do you think ? Well I 01:00:15.383 --> 01:00:17.910 think I'll defer to what she said , I 01:00:17.910 --> 01:00:19.966 can't say it any better . Everything 01:00:19.966 --> 01:00:22.720 that was said kind of sums up where we 01:00:22.720 --> 01:00:24.780 are , this will put us out front and 01:00:24.780 --> 01:00:27.910 not behind our on even step with I 01:00:27.910 --> 01:00:30.021 think we can introduce it to the rest 01:00:30.021 --> 01:00:32.140 of our brothers and sisters , both 01:00:32.140 --> 01:00:34.620 within the D . O . D . And outside and 01:00:35.110 --> 01:00:37.200 it's time for us to get ahead of the 01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:39.367 fight as opposed to walking along with 01:00:39.367 --> 01:00:42.170 it . And honestly I looked at it , it 01:00:42.170 --> 01:00:44.400 looks like it's ruggedized . This is 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:46.622 gonna be something of great interest to 01:00:46.622 --> 01:00:48.844 the career field and I think it's gonna 01:00:48.844 --> 01:00:50.956 help us tremendously like hearing you 01:00:50.956 --> 01:00:53.011 say that get ahead of it , it's what 01:00:53.011 --> 01:00:55.122 innovation rodeo is all about and now 01:00:55.122 --> 01:00:57.178 it's time for the last pitch and I'm 01:00:57.178 --> 01:00:59.233 not gonna say that we saved the best 01:00:59.233 --> 01:01:01.233 for last but staff sergeant Anthony 01:01:01.233 --> 01:01:03.344 Davis has got something that I cannot 01:01:03.344 --> 01:01:05.678 wait for this panel of judges to hear J . 01:01:05.678 --> 01:01:08.770 D . Are you ready ? Okay so let's bring 01:01:08.770 --> 01:01:10.881 him out the final pitch of innovation 01:01:10.881 --> 01:01:12.890 rodeo 2022 staff sergeant , Anthony 01:01:12.890 --> 01:01:13.650 Davis 01:01:46.900 --> 01:01:49.000 Finally at MacDIll Air Force Base . 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:51.111 Okay . What do I gotta do ? I have to 01:01:51.111 --> 01:01:53.333 get my gear from L . R . S . I have the 01:01:53.333 --> 01:01:55.500 uh check my kids in at the C . D . C . 01:01:55.500 --> 01:01:57.667 What else ? What else ? I have to meet 01:01:57.667 --> 01:02:01.060 my new leadership . Okay . And then uh 01:02:01.060 --> 01:02:03.282 I have to pick up a car today . I think 01:02:03.282 --> 01:02:05.393 I might be able to make it to the gym 01:02:05.393 --> 01:02:07.393 around 8:30 PM . All right . Get my 01:02:07.393 --> 01:02:08.393 card . 01:02:10.730 --> 01:02:13.380 What I registered ? How come ? I don't 01:02:13.380 --> 01:02:15.713 have access here ? Let me see the hours . 01:02:15.713 --> 01:02:17.936 I need to ask more questions . What are 01:02:17.936 --> 01:02:20.158 the they're close for five days because 01:02:20.158 --> 01:02:22.269 of a holiday and the training day . I 01:02:22.269 --> 01:02:24.491 can't miss five days . I just purchased 01:02:24.491 --> 01:02:26.491 this new workout regimen to help me 01:02:26.491 --> 01:02:28.658 lose weight . Also I just bought a car 01:02:28.658 --> 01:02:30.880 today . So off base membership is gonna 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:30.700 cost me more money . I want to take my 01:02:30.700 --> 01:02:32.922 kids to Disneyland cause I haven't seen 01:02:32.922 --> 01:02:35.144 them for a year . I already got to this 01:02:35.144 --> 01:02:38.610 base . I'm already stressing out slide 01:02:40.470 --> 01:02:42.770 currently at fitness centers , they 01:02:42.770 --> 01:02:45.320 operate under individual systems . 01:02:45.330 --> 01:02:46.941 These systems cannot connect 01:02:46.941 --> 01:02:48.886 information from fitness center to 01:02:48.886 --> 01:02:51.108 fitness center . For example , if I was 01:02:51.108 --> 01:02:53.219 to get registered at , if I wanted to 01:02:53.219 --> 01:02:55.790 go to cosign for a weekend trip will 01:02:55.790 --> 01:02:58.140 have to reregister again and that's 01:02:58.140 --> 01:03:00.950 three hours away . Also they have 01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:03.960 unexpected upload times at MacDIll . We 01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:06.200 had to upload overnight and it deleted 01:03:06.200 --> 01:03:09.030 2000 of our patrons over the course of 01:03:09.030 --> 01:03:10.974 two weeks . These patients have to 01:03:10.974 --> 01:03:12.880 reregister . What if one of these 01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:14.824 patrons had to go T . D . Y . They 01:03:14.824 --> 01:03:17.760 would have to register again . The 01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:20.240 point of registration is to do it once 01:03:20.250 --> 01:03:22.870 every finishing that has the same rules , 01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:24.740 make sure the doors shut , don't 01:03:24.740 --> 01:03:26.796 anybody in behind you , are you over 01:03:26.796 --> 01:03:28.810 the age of 18 slide 01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:32.870 with this new web application , it 01:03:32.870 --> 01:03:35.092 would be connected to what we currently 01:03:35.092 --> 01:03:37.203 have which is called cloud one . This 01:03:37.203 --> 01:03:39.314 would cut down on maintenance costs . 01:03:39.314 --> 01:03:41.370 Also 80 fitness centers already have 01:03:41.370 --> 01:03:43.370 existing capabilities like the card 01:03:43.370 --> 01:03:45.410 scanners . The cameras just need a 01:03:45.410 --> 01:03:47.688 little push connected to the cloud one . 01:03:47.690 --> 01:03:50.030 Let's talk about some of the pros like 01:03:50.030 --> 01:03:51.960 myself , I'm a shift worker . The 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:54.030 possibility of working at the of 01:03:54.030 --> 01:03:56.490 working 12 hours a day , midnight shift , 01:03:56.490 --> 01:03:58.434 not getting off till two o'clock , 01:03:58.434 --> 01:04:00.601 three o'clock in the morning , but not 01:04:00.601 --> 01:04:02.768 only me , you have the defenders , you 01:04:02.768 --> 01:04:04.823 have the maintainers , maintainers , 01:04:04.823 --> 01:04:06.823 but let's focus more on readiness . 01:04:07.260 --> 01:04:09.427 Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force 01:04:09.427 --> 01:04:11.530 Chief Bass once said as airman , we 01:04:11.530 --> 01:04:14.080 focus too much on pT test but we should 01:04:14.080 --> 01:04:16.470 focus more on fitness and readiness , 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:18.840 tying it back to my story . Would I be 01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:21.007 ready if I'm mentally unstable because 01:04:21.007 --> 01:04:23.007 I can't financially take care of my 01:04:23.007 --> 01:04:25.118 family or myself while I'm down range 01:04:25.560 --> 01:04:29.410 slide with the support of my team 01:04:29.420 --> 01:04:31.476 and also the stakeholders , which is 01:04:31.476 --> 01:04:33.587 you , the patrons of our facilities , 01:04:33.587 --> 01:04:35.642 people who come in and work work out 01:04:35.642 --> 01:04:39.140 day in and day out slide , we're asking 01:04:39.140 --> 01:04:42.360 for a one time investment of hundreds 01:04:42.370 --> 01:04:45.710 of 970 K 75 K . Sorry , 01:04:46.370 --> 01:04:48.510 But you will save annually 01:04:48.520 --> 01:04:51.950 $400,000 . Can you 01:04:55.140 --> 01:04:56.920 help me open the doors 01:04:59.000 --> 01:04:59.910 questions , 01:05:04.770 --> 01:05:06.770 we are super proud of you , we know 01:05:06.770 --> 01:05:08.937 this isn't your comfort zone , you got 01:05:08.937 --> 01:05:11.103 up here with a smile , gave a flawless 01:05:11.103 --> 01:05:13.270 pitch with all of the things that have 01:05:13.270 --> 01:05:15.437 been asked for you .

So it would be to send uh 01:07:04.980 --> 01:07:07.147 the maintenance personnel t D . Y . To 01:07:07.147 --> 01:07:09.147 the basis . And like I said we have 01:07:09.147 --> 01:07:11.258 existing capabilities . Do we have to 01:07:11.258 --> 01:07:13.480 change those capabilities ? Thank you . 01:07:13.480 --> 01:07:16.800 So T . D . Y . Um is it 01:07:16.810 --> 01:07:19.900 is this intended for every define the 01:07:19.900 --> 01:07:22.500 population , every Air Force base , 01:07:23.090 --> 01:07:25.510 Is it every air force base that you had ? 01:07:25.520 --> 01:07:29.090 The 975 would presumably , so 01:07:29.100 --> 01:07:32.040 currently the 975 is only for the 80 01:07:32.040 --> 01:07:33.596 bases that already have the 01:07:33.596 --> 01:07:36.870 capabilities but in the future because 01:07:36.870 --> 01:07:39.500 this can be enterprise wide , we'll see 01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:41.722 about possibly getting more . Okay , So 01:07:41.722 --> 01:07:43.778 I mean it is a big number , that's a 01:07:43.778 --> 01:07:46.056 good number of Air force installations . 01:07:46.056 --> 01:07:48.056 What I would offer . Not that was a 01:07:48.056 --> 01:07:50.167 question . That is a thought would be 01:07:50.167 --> 01:07:52.333 um there are joint bases . So you have 01:07:52.333 --> 01:07:51.690 airmen , your passion about airmen 01:07:51.690 --> 01:07:53.970 guardians , uh their joint bases that 01:07:53.970 --> 01:07:55.970 are owned by the army or the navy . 01:07:55.970 --> 01:07:58.192 Wouldn't it be great if you could be an 01:07:58.192 --> 01:08:00.526 airman and you could go to and go T . D . 01:08:00.526 --> 01:08:02.581 Y . To a joint base owned by an army 01:08:02.581 --> 01:08:04.692 installation or army and actually use 01:08:04.692 --> 01:08:06.859 it as well or expanded D . O . D . Y . 01:08:06.859 --> 01:08:09.081 So um and it's real quick . That is the 01:08:09.081 --> 01:08:11.248 card the envision is that vision to be 01:08:11.248 --> 01:08:13.620 a CAC is envision to be a separate card 01:08:13.620 --> 01:08:15.930 or what's the what's the actual card ? 01:08:15.940 --> 01:08:18.162 That's a good question . So there's two 01:08:18.162 --> 01:08:20.273 separate cards at the moment with the 01:08:20.273 --> 01:08:22.440 one that I have right here . This will 01:08:22.440 --> 01:08:24.440 be for the D . O . D . Civilians or 01:08:24.440 --> 01:08:26.760 spouses . Um But uh duty military 01:08:26.770 --> 01:08:30.150 reserves . They would use their CAC . 01:08:31.210 --> 01:08:33.950 One of the things I'll ask is it is uh 01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:36.071 one of your team members of technical 01:08:36.071 --> 01:08:38.350 expert on the systems . Yes sir . Okay 01:08:38.360 --> 01:08:40.870 thank you . Uh One quick question . 01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:43.890 400,000 savings annually 01:08:44.070 --> 01:08:47.270 or what what are we looking at ? So the 01:08:47.270 --> 01:08:49.214 money is for T . Dy to upgrade our 01:08:49.214 --> 01:08:51.570 systems . So what's the savings , what 01:08:51.570 --> 01:08:54.070 are we saving on ? So once it's 01:08:54.070 --> 01:08:56.181 connected to the cloud it'll cut down 01:08:56.181 --> 01:08:59.600 on having to send maintenance personnel 01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:02.750 T . D . Y . All the time to fix the 01:09:02.760 --> 01:09:05.850 software . Um That's that's what that's 01:09:05.850 --> 01:09:08.560 what we're saving on . Thank you . And 01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:10.671 therefore it's a good little discount 01:09:10.671 --> 01:09:13.630 card Anthony when you see your big 01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:16.960 barriers as being for success . Yeah . 01:09:17.700 --> 01:09:21.460 Big barriers . Can we 01:09:21.460 --> 01:09:24.010 haven't run into any in that in our 01:09:24.020 --> 01:09:26.680 thought process just yet . But once we 01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:28.736 come up with something we'll have to 01:09:28.736 --> 01:09:30.740 get back with you somebody else 01:09:33.120 --> 01:09:35.280 and Anthony thank you so much for 01:09:35.290 --> 01:09:37.346 bringing this thought to us . As you 01:09:37.346 --> 01:09:39.512 can see , it resonates with the entire 01:09:39.512 --> 01:09:41.640 group and about air men like you who 01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:43.751 are airmen and guardians like you are 01:09:43.751 --> 01:09:45.918 willing to step up and bring it to our 01:09:45.918 --> 01:09:48.140 awareness and work through this process 01:09:48.140 --> 01:09:50.362 to culminate on this stage . Today , we 01:09:50.362 --> 01:09:52.529 wouldn't be moving things forward . So 01:09:52.529 --> 01:09:52.060 thank you again very much for all your 01:09:52.060 --> 01:09:54.060 time and effort and your passion on 01:09:54.060 --> 01:09:57.470 this . We appreciate you . Good 01:09:59.880 --> 01:10:02.920 brushes . That's it . That's all late . 01:10:02.930 --> 01:10:04.819 Mr J . I gotta tell you after the 01:10:04.819 --> 01:10:06.930 rehearsal this morning . They told me 01:10:06.930 --> 01:10:08.986 at lunch that based on his pitch , I 01:10:08.986 --> 01:10:10.874 should challenge you to a push up 01:10:10.874 --> 01:10:13.041 contest , but I don't want you to show 01:10:13.041 --> 01:10:15.100 me up right now . So I need that 01:10:15.110 --> 01:10:18.250 program installed now 01:10:18.260 --> 01:10:21.450 Colonel as as , as the service is kind 01:10:21.450 --> 01:10:23.672 of rep here between you and the chief . 01:10:23.672 --> 01:10:25.839 What do you think about that ? I think 01:10:25.839 --> 01:10:25.600 it's great . I think it's much needed . 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:27.711 There is a demand signal . Even as we 01:10:27.711 --> 01:10:29.878 went into Covid and we had less people 01:10:29.878 --> 01:10:32.100 available , we had to take folks out of 01:10:32.100 --> 01:10:34.322 fitness centers and put them into other 01:10:34.322 --> 01:10:33.610 locations where we needed military 01:10:33.610 --> 01:10:35.832 members . And that was a driving factor 01:10:35.832 --> 01:10:37.999 was folks wanting to go to the gym . I 01:10:37.999 --> 01:10:39.832 think it's much needed . The the 01:10:39.832 --> 01:10:42.054 application is pretty simple , a little 01:10:42.054 --> 01:10:41.450 expensive on the front side , but it's 01:10:41.450 --> 01:10:44.610 simple really . Um and every affected , 01:10:44.620 --> 01:10:46.898 every person in the Air Force , I mean , 01:10:46.898 --> 01:10:49.120 your Children 18 and above , right , 16 01:10:49.120 --> 01:10:51.287 and above uh spouses , everyone . It's 01:10:51.287 --> 01:10:53.120 a win for everyone . I like it . 01:10:53.120 --> 01:10:55.231 Absolutely chief . Anything to add to 01:10:55.231 --> 01:10:57.398 that can definitely relate . Right pcs 01:10:57.398 --> 01:10:59.620 in here , middle of Covid . I wanted to 01:10:59.620 --> 01:11:01.787 go to the gym . Couldn't go to the gym 01:11:01.787 --> 01:11:04.064 because the gym was closed . All I had , 01:11:04.064 --> 01:11:06.287 all I needed was that card . Right , So 01:11:06.287 --> 01:11:08.580 definitely can relate to it and uh , so 01:11:08.590 --> 01:11:11.480 great pitch back with you . What ? 01:11:11.480 --> 01:11:13.590 Haven't we done it ? 01:11:14.630 --> 01:11:17.230 Leadership I 01:11:18.620 --> 01:11:20.760 to hear what's going on . No , it's a 01:11:20.760 --> 01:11:23.800 great point . Um , I'll tell you . So I 01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:26.022 was backstage . I was getting some text 01:11:26.022 --> 01:11:28.189 from some of his team mates at Macdill 01:11:28.189 --> 01:11:30.244 who I've known through my career and 01:11:30.244 --> 01:11:32.467 and so they were rooting for him . So I 01:11:32.467 --> 01:11:34.467 think he did a great job . Um but I 01:11:34.467 --> 01:11:36.189 think all eight of them did an 01:11:36.189 --> 01:11:38.356 absolutely fantastic job . JD anything 01:11:38.356 --> 01:11:40.578 to add . I think there's some time here 01:11:40.578 --> 01:11:42.700 for us to deliberate as a panel . Um 01:11:42.700 --> 01:11:44.811 And so I would like to open up with a 01:11:44.811 --> 01:11:46.978 couple of questions to the judges that 01:11:46.978 --> 01:11:48.922 I'd really like to drive in . That 01:11:48.922 --> 01:11:48.510 deliberation . Does that sound like a 01:11:48.510 --> 01:11:50.621 good plan ? That's a fantastic plan . 01:11:50.621 --> 01:11:53.040 I'm gonna leave you guys to it up here 01:11:53.040 --> 01:11:55.262 on the stage , We're gonna let you chit 01:11:55.262 --> 01:11:57.040 chat . I'm gonna head backstage 01:11:57.040 --> 01:11:59.373 actually got a special guest back there . 01:11:59.373 --> 01:12:01.484 So when you guys get to a point where 01:12:01.484 --> 01:12:03.651 you want to go behind closed doors and 01:12:03.651 --> 01:12:03.460 shut these cameras off , I got some 01:12:03.460 --> 01:12:05.627 folks backstage to talk to , so JD I'm 01:12:05.627 --> 01:12:07.571 gonna leave you guys to IT . Panel 01:12:07.571 --> 01:12:09.738 judges , thank you so much and here we 01:12:09.738 --> 01:12:13.710 go . Alright . I continue 01:12:13.710 --> 01:12:15.821 to be impressed and I see it from you 01:12:15.821 --> 01:12:17.932 guys as well . Great questions . Very 01:12:17.932 --> 01:12:20.154 pro bring sticking it to them . But you 01:12:20.154 --> 01:12:22.377 can tell they came prepared and they've 01:12:22.377 --> 01:12:24.377 done their homework . Um One of the 01:12:24.377 --> 01:12:24.030 things that I wanted to talk about 01:12:24.030 --> 01:12:26.252 though is some of the just innovation , 01:12:26.252 --> 01:12:28.252 groundbreaking somewhere , like why 01:12:28.252 --> 01:12:30.474 aren't we doing this already , but some 01:12:30.474 --> 01:12:32.641 are like , Holy smokes . I didn't even 01:12:32.641 --> 01:12:32.530 realize that was a problem . So chief , 01:12:32.530 --> 01:12:34.474 I'll start with you . What did you 01:12:34.474 --> 01:12:36.363 really think was a groundbreaking 01:12:36.363 --> 01:12:38.474 thought that maybe you were surprised 01:12:38.474 --> 01:12:40.419 to see . So I was surprised to see 01:12:40.419 --> 01:12:42.141 really two of them the network 01:12:42.141 --> 01:12:44.880 bandwidth expansion at the capacity 01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:48.290 that we operate and D O D why haven't 01:12:48.290 --> 01:12:50.123 we done ? Why are we having this 01:12:50.123 --> 01:12:52.930 conversation ? Right . Uh , and , but 01:12:52.930 --> 01:12:55.530 the wearable defender , I haven't spent 01:12:55.530 --> 01:12:57.641 many years in time downrange with the 01:12:57.641 --> 01:13:00.300 defenders and it's just time to 01:13:00.300 --> 01:13:02.920 modernize . Right ? When we talk about , 01:13:02.930 --> 01:13:06.460 um , cost effective 01:13:06.460 --> 01:13:08.680 modernization and , and all those 01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:11.700 things , uh , may not be cost effective 01:13:11.700 --> 01:13:14.040 at the beginning , but maybe a long 01:13:14.040 --> 01:13:16.740 range . We're saving money through , 01:13:16.750 --> 01:13:19.400 you know , medical bills and equipment 01:13:19.400 --> 01:13:21.678 and all those things . So , uh , those , 01:13:21.678 --> 01:13:23.844 those are the two to me that right off 01:13:23.844 --> 01:13:25.956 the bat , all of them great pitches , 01:13:25.956 --> 01:13:28.178 all of them , great ideas , all of them 01:13:28.178 --> 01:13:29.900 just innovation , innovation , 01:13:29.900 --> 01:13:32.122 innovation , things that we , we should 01:13:32.122 --> 01:13:31.910 be getting after . So I appreciate that 01:13:31.910 --> 01:13:34.240 chief in my role . Short time albeit , 01:13:34.250 --> 01:13:36.010 but long time installation and 01:13:36.020 --> 01:13:38.131 submission support stakeholder if you 01:13:38.131 --> 01:13:39.964 will , were great at incremental 01:13:39.964 --> 01:13:42.020 modernization . Just what's the next 01:13:42.020 --> 01:13:44.131 version of what I already have . So I 01:13:44.131 --> 01:13:46.298 really appreciate your thoughts on why 01:13:46.298 --> 01:13:48.520 those two are specifically a little bit 01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:50.520 more ground ground breaking in your 01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:50.460 mind . Thank you . Anybody else have 01:13:50.460 --> 01:13:52.460 anything that jumped out of them is 01:13:52.460 --> 01:13:54.293 really groundbreaking . I really 01:13:54.293 --> 01:13:56.480 appreciated . Um , Craig's putting 01:13:56.480 --> 01:13:59.730 autonomous vehicles on the airfield um , 01:13:59.730 --> 01:14:01.730 as a career mission supporter , the 01:14:01.730 --> 01:14:03.786 airfields are like the Holy Grail of 01:14:03.786 --> 01:14:07.080 safe zones if you will um , and testing 01:14:07.080 --> 01:14:09.136 it and having other folks wanting to 01:14:09.136 --> 01:14:11.191 come see it and getting it , earning 01:14:11.191 --> 01:14:13.413 that trust and making leaders and users 01:14:13.413 --> 01:14:15.580 comfortable with that . I thought that 01:14:15.580 --> 01:14:15.450 was really , really innovative because 01:14:15.450 --> 01:14:18.790 it hasn't gone broadly even nationally 01:14:18.790 --> 01:14:20.901 here to have while we have autonomous 01:14:20.901 --> 01:14:23.350 vehicles with a person in it . Um , 01:14:23.360 --> 01:14:25.670 we're not using it and so I was really 01:14:25.670 --> 01:14:27.781 impressed with that thinking and what 01:14:27.781 --> 01:14:29.948 he's done to , to prototype it and and 01:14:29.948 --> 01:14:32.003 more importantly have it trusted . I 01:14:32.003 --> 01:14:34.170 was really impressed with that and you 01:14:34.170 --> 01:14:36.059 might not have caught it , but he 01:14:36.059 --> 01:14:38.059 mentioned taxiway lights as a civil 01:14:38.059 --> 01:14:40.114 engineer , those are a big deal than 01:14:40.114 --> 01:14:39.940 you might think . You don't ever want 01:14:39.940 --> 01:14:41.940 to break one of those bad boys . So 01:14:41.940 --> 01:14:43.884 that really resonated with me . If 01:14:43.884 --> 01:14:45.940 there's anything that can prevent us 01:14:45.940 --> 01:14:45.730 from , you know , not going over 01:14:45.730 --> 01:14:47.952 something that we're not supposed to on 01:14:47.952 --> 01:14:50.008 the airfield is a huge one and going 01:14:50.008 --> 01:14:52.008 out there in the dark of night when 01:14:52.008 --> 01:14:54.174 it's not gonna interrupt kind of daily 01:14:54.174 --> 01:14:56.230 operations to mow the grass or or to 01:14:56.230 --> 01:14:58.008 plow the snow . Really , really 01:14:58.008 --> 01:15:00.050 resonated with me as well , anybody 01:15:00.050 --> 01:15:04.030 else . I don't want to 01:15:04.040 --> 01:15:06.096 pick you back too hard on this one , 01:15:06.096 --> 01:15:09.780 but autonomous vehicles in general and 01:15:09.780 --> 01:15:11.891 the potential to expand that to other 01:15:11.891 --> 01:15:14.320 areas . Obviously I'm a defender , but 01:15:14.330 --> 01:15:17.210 I'm an airman first , uh there's so 01:15:17.210 --> 01:15:19.530 many potentials there , the cost 01:15:19.530 --> 01:15:21.540 savings that could be had if 01:15:21.550 --> 01:15:23.550 maintenance and sustainment doesn't 01:15:23.550 --> 01:15:26.980 override that uh the opportunity to 01:15:26.980 --> 01:15:30.060 have autonomous operations going on 01:15:30.070 --> 01:15:32.181 when our airmen aren't standing up at 01:15:32.181 --> 01:15:34.181 three a.m. In the morning doing the 01:15:34.181 --> 01:15:36.292 kinds of things that maybe automation 01:15:36.292 --> 01:15:38.400 can help us with . So I thought that 01:15:38.400 --> 01:15:40.960 was pretty significant . And uh empathy 01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:43.071 for our airmen who might benefit from 01:15:43.660 --> 01:15:45.771 Mr . I think you're reading my mind , 01:15:45.771 --> 01:15:47.493 because the second thread that 01:15:47.493 --> 01:15:49.549 resonated from the pitches to me was 01:15:49.549 --> 01:15:51.493 the most compelling and support of 01:15:51.493 --> 01:15:53.493 airmen and Guardian . And what came 01:15:53.493 --> 01:15:55.549 through was time giving back time to 01:15:55.549 --> 01:15:57.771 our teammates to our customers , all of 01:15:57.771 --> 01:16:00.049 the above . So how about in compelling , 01:16:00.049 --> 01:16:02.382 compelling and support to our customers , 01:16:02.382 --> 01:16:04.549 that anything resonate from you all in 01:16:04.549 --> 01:16:07.340 that space ? Yeah , I'll tell you , I 01:16:07.340 --> 01:16:09.507 was thinking the same thing just now , 01:16:09.507 --> 01:16:11.507 it's about time . Right ? So all of 01:16:11.507 --> 01:16:11.150 these scenarios , I just went through 01:16:11.150 --> 01:16:13.680 each one of our of our innovator pitch 01:16:13.690 --> 01:16:15.860 pitches and each one of them had an 01:16:15.860 --> 01:16:17.971 element of giving time back . So it's 01:16:17.971 --> 01:16:20.138 that service before self farm , taking 01:16:20.138 --> 01:16:22.027 care of the whole Airman Guardian 01:16:22.027 --> 01:16:24.193 family , um from , you know , the care 01:16:24.193 --> 01:16:26.416 of the resiliency to each and every one 01:16:26.416 --> 01:16:28.416 of those innovative ideas . I think 01:16:28.416 --> 01:16:27.970 it's a tough call , but you're right , 01:16:27.980 --> 01:16:30.147 it's the time and that's what we value 01:16:30.147 --> 01:16:33.590 the most . Yeah , and if we're gonna 01:16:33.590 --> 01:16:37.170 talk about time again , uh defender 01:16:37.170 --> 01:16:40.860 zone , there's the potential there for 01:16:40.870 --> 01:16:43.360 better utilization of the limited s for 01:16:43.360 --> 01:16:45.527 resources that we have so that through 01:16:45.527 --> 01:16:47.840 automation , whenever an individual 01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:50.310 wants and desires they can obtain it 01:16:50.320 --> 01:16:53.170 and uh Anthony again just blew us away 01:16:53.170 --> 01:16:56.560 with uh yes , it is very difficult for 01:16:56.560 --> 01:16:59.490 the 24 hour operators host of first 01:16:59.490 --> 01:17:03.190 responders uh uh to find the time to 01:17:03.190 --> 01:17:05.246 get in the same gym time that others 01:17:05.246 --> 01:17:08.760 might uh yeah , critical thinking about 01:17:08.770 --> 01:17:11.030 Brandon and merging all of those 01:17:11.030 --> 01:17:13.030 contracting systems together to not 01:17:13.030 --> 01:17:15.141 have a tracker . Tracker tracker that 01:17:15.141 --> 01:17:17.197 tracks tracker . Uh just think about 01:17:17.197 --> 01:17:19.308 the quality of our contract oversight 01:17:19.308 --> 01:17:21.474 uh as just a potential outcome as well 01:17:21.474 --> 01:17:23.419 and giving that money back to that 01:17:23.419 --> 01:17:25.530 whole community so that we're getting 01:17:25.530 --> 01:17:28.240 more um more bang for our buck , truly 01:17:28.250 --> 01:17:31.190 smarter . Not harder . I think it's 01:17:31.190 --> 01:17:33.640 cool that that each person came with 01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:36.580 their career field , their experiences , 01:17:36.580 --> 01:17:38.247 the background that drove the 01:17:38.247 --> 01:17:41.490 innovation , we're fixing , you know , 01:17:41.500 --> 01:17:44.280 we're improving defenders , we're 01:17:44.290 --> 01:17:47.400 saving time . We're trying to fix minds 01:17:47.400 --> 01:17:49.733 if you will , spiritual health . I mean , 01:17:49.733 --> 01:17:51.900 those are , it's kind of cool that you 01:17:51.900 --> 01:17:53.844 see that broad gamut . Um and as I 01:17:53.844 --> 01:17:56.190 think about , you know , judging again , 01:17:56.190 --> 01:17:58.134 we talked about about that they're 01:17:58.134 --> 01:18:01.640 they're all um quality um 01:18:01.650 --> 01:18:04.500 proposals , but I think about the 01:18:04.500 --> 01:18:06.611 impact today versus the impact in the 01:18:06.611 --> 01:18:08.778 future . And some of the bets probably 01:18:08.778 --> 01:18:10.833 are more near term . And some of the 01:18:10.833 --> 01:18:13.000 bets are probably more long term , the 01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:15.360 the um the impact to airmen and 01:18:15.360 --> 01:18:17.660 guardians . Some of the bets might not 01:18:17.660 --> 01:18:20.150 be felt this tangibly by airmen 01:18:20.150 --> 01:18:22.630 guardians and at the base installation 01:18:22.630 --> 01:18:25.080 level and some might and so it's just 01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:27.247 sort of interesting is you see through 01:18:27.247 --> 01:18:29.358 different lenses they bring different 01:18:29.358 --> 01:18:31.580 value and uh and it's that's what makes 01:18:31.580 --> 01:18:33.636 it so difficult to try to figure out 01:18:33.636 --> 01:18:33.340 what , where we kind of want to place 01:18:33.340 --> 01:18:36.760 those bets but all very impressive . I 01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:38.910 think it's great how they , they are 01:18:38.910 --> 01:18:40.854 bringing in an idea and innovation 01:18:40.854 --> 01:18:42.966 based on their scope , right on their 01:18:42.966 --> 01:18:45.080 capability but something like the 01:18:45.080 --> 01:18:48.860 fenders on zone that we can look and 01:18:49.080 --> 01:18:51.247 is gonna fix a defender problem but it 01:18:51.247 --> 01:18:53.247 has an L . R . S impact if we moved 01:18:53.247 --> 01:18:55.330 forward right , it has a maintainer 01:18:55.330 --> 01:18:57.560 impact . So just something that they 01:18:57.560 --> 01:18:59.670 see working on the ground today 01:18:59.670 --> 01:19:02.440 themselves , it can solve many other 01:19:02.450 --> 01:19:05.220 other problems . So great , great 01:19:05.230 --> 01:19:08.920 pitches all around . Alright , are you 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.031 ready for the next round ? Which is a 01:19:11.031 --> 01:19:13.198 little harder . We're gonna talk about 01:19:13.198 --> 01:19:15.198 the actual details and whittle this 01:19:15.198 --> 01:19:17.253 down to three winners . Are you guys 01:19:17.253 --> 01:19:21.250 ready for that step ? Alright , 01:19:21.260 --> 01:19:23.316 Jason , are we ready for our special 01:19:23.316 --> 01:19:25.427 special guest in the background so we 01:19:25.427 --> 01:19:27.593 can do a little bit of deliberation on 01:19:27.593 --> 01:19:29.760 this side .

It's weird 01:23:02.926 --> 01:23:05.037 when all the lights are sitting there 01:23:05.037 --> 01:23:07.092 hitting you in the face , but I feel 01:23:07.092 --> 01:23:09.370 pretty good . Okay , uh Sergeant Davis . 01:23:09.370 --> 01:23:09.280 You know , they raved about the fact 01:23:09.280 --> 01:23:11.447 that you were out of your comfort zone 01:23:11.447 --> 01:23:13.669 that you got up on the stage . You gave 01:23:13.669 --> 01:23:15.724 a pitch . I got a text from my phone 01:23:15.724 --> 01:23:17.613 friend who's watching live on the 01:23:17.613 --> 01:23:19.947 livestream said he did an awesome pitch . 01:23:19.947 --> 01:23:19.560 Tell him good job .

You 01:23:35.791 --> 01:23:38.069 guys hang tight . All right , let's go . 01:23:38.069 --> 01:23:40.291 We'll go to this dressing room . Next . 01:23:40.291 --> 01:23:42.458 This is our first set of the first set 01:23:42.458 --> 01:23:44.624 of pictures . Here we go . All right . 01:23:44.624 --> 01:23:46.569 We haven't talked to you guys in a 01:23:46.569 --> 01:23:46.480 minute . It's been a little bit . Yeah . 01:23:46.480 --> 01:23:48.647 How are you guys feeling ? I'm feeling 01:23:48.647 --> 01:23:50.869 good . Yeah . Just waiting , waiting to 01:23:50.869 --> 01:23:52.869 hear from the judges , you know who 01:23:52.869 --> 01:23:52.310 they're going to decide this year's 01:23:52.310 --> 01:23:54.230 winners . All right . How are you 01:23:54.230 --> 01:23:56.480 feeling Chaplin ? You said a lot of 01:23:56.480 --> 01:23:59.350 prayers , so many prayers and honestly , 01:23:59.360 --> 01:24:01.582 I didn't fall off the stage . So all my 01:24:01.582 --> 01:24:03.749 prayers came through well , you know , 01:24:03.749 --> 01:24:05.916 that was a concern because you know me 01:24:05.916 --> 01:24:08.027 Making sure that safety comes first . 01:24:08.027 --> 01:24:09.804 How do you how do you feel that 01:24:09.804 --> 01:24:11.860 innovation rodeo ? 20 , has gone for 01:24:11.860 --> 01:24:14.027 you ? It's gone so well , I've learned 01:24:14.027 --> 01:24:14.020 so much about the difference between 01:24:14.030 --> 01:24:16.910 giving a brief and doing pitch training 01:24:16.910 --> 01:24:19.188 and trying to sell an idea to somebody . 01:24:19.188 --> 01:24:21.243 Yeah , it's just mind blowing . It's 01:24:21.243 --> 01:24:23.354 quite the difference . I think one of 01:24:23.354 --> 01:24:23.020 our other contestants said , you know , 01:24:23.020 --> 01:24:25.020 throwing away 17 years of what they 01:24:25.020 --> 01:24:27.360 knew to do military briefings and give 01:24:27.360 --> 01:24:30.340 a pitch and and Chaplin . What are your 01:24:30.350 --> 01:24:32.517 final thoughts before we jump into the 01:24:32.517 --> 01:24:34.628 next room ? Honestly , just that this 01:24:34.628 --> 01:24:36.794 whole week I've gotten to know all the 01:24:36.794 --> 01:24:38.961 other contestants and I want all of us 01:24:38.961 --> 01:24:41.017 to win . All the ideas are so good . 01:24:41.017 --> 01:24:40.810 I'm sure that's why the judges are 01:24:40.810 --> 01:24:42.866 taking so long because I wouldn't be 01:24:42.866 --> 01:24:44.921 able to decide . All right , we gave 01:24:44.921 --> 01:24:46.754 some of the other contestants an 01:24:46.754 --> 01:24:48.699 opportunity . I'll give you guys a 01:24:48.699 --> 01:24:48.040 quick opportunity , anybody . You want 01:24:48.040 --> 01:24:50.207 to give a shout out that's watching on 01:24:50.207 --> 01:24:52.262 the livestream . Just my lovely wife 01:24:52.262 --> 01:24:54.318 Brittany , thank you so much for the 01:24:54.318 --> 01:24:56.484 support . I love you . All right , how 01:24:56.484 --> 01:24:58.707 about you , Chaplin Jessica . Thank you 01:24:58.707 --> 01:24:58.690 so much for all your support this week . 01:24:58.700 --> 01:25:01.190 Toby lily . I love you guys , Elliott . 01:25:01.210 --> 01:25:03.432 I'm looking forward to dinner tonight . 01:25:03.432 --> 01:25:05.488 Alright , alright , so you guys just 01:25:05.488 --> 01:25:07.710 hang tight as soon as we get the word , 01:25:07.710 --> 01:25:09.710 we'll let you guys know . Alright , 01:25:09.710 --> 01:25:11.877 let's uh let's keep moving through our 01:25:11.877 --> 01:25:14.043 backstage area here . We're gonna jump 01:25:14.043 --> 01:25:16.490 into the dressing room right here and 01:25:16.490 --> 01:25:18.490 these guys are hanging out , having 01:25:18.490 --> 01:25:20.490 some sierra mist and some water and 01:25:20.570 --> 01:25:22.970 come on in their camera and we'll we'll 01:25:22.970 --> 01:25:25.081 talk to these guys , Colonel Kramer . 01:25:25.081 --> 01:25:27.081 How are you feeling great . Again , 01:25:27.081 --> 01:25:29.192 it's over . So now we'll just wait to 01:25:29.192 --> 01:25:31.414 see what the result . But although it's 01:25:31.414 --> 01:25:33.303 a competition , I think we've all 01:25:33.303 --> 01:25:35.359 become friends and we've heard other 01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:37.526 pitches were like they should win . So 01:25:37.526 --> 01:25:39.748 I think we're all walking away with the 01:25:39.748 --> 01:25:41.914 win here . Excellent . How do you feel 01:25:41.914 --> 01:25:43.748 that your pitch went up on stage 01:25:43.748 --> 01:25:45.914 hopefully . Okay . Um yeah , again , I 01:25:45.914 --> 01:25:48.137 think the nerves were still there , but 01:25:48.137 --> 01:25:49.859 a week's worth of training and 01:25:49.859 --> 01:25:51.914 repetition and so hopefully I got my 01:25:51.914 --> 01:25:54.137 point across and at least advocated for 01:25:54.137 --> 01:25:56.470 the effort that we're working on . Okay , 01:25:56.470 --> 01:25:58.526 Excellent . Sergeant Whitehead , How 01:25:58.526 --> 01:25:57.800 are you feeling ? What what are you 01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:00.078 thinking about the way your pitch went ? 01:26:00.078 --> 01:26:02.133 I think it went all right . It could 01:26:02.133 --> 01:26:04.356 have been a little better in my , in my 01:26:04.356 --> 01:26:04.230 mind , but I'm happy with it . Okay . 01:26:04.250 --> 01:26:06.583 And the questions that the judges asked , 01:26:06.583 --> 01:26:08.639 they they drilled you a little bit . 01:26:08.639 --> 01:26:10.472 What do you think ? Did you feel 01:26:10.472 --> 01:26:12.528 prepared to answer their questions ? 01:26:12.528 --> 01:26:14.583 Some of them , yes , very prepared . 01:26:14.583 --> 01:26:13.920 Some of them kind of caught me off 01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:16.142 guard . Okay . Um , we gave some of the 01:26:16.142 --> 01:26:18.198 other contestants an opportunity . I 01:26:18.198 --> 01:26:20.031 want to give you guys a chance , 01:26:20.031 --> 01:26:19.750 anybody wanna give a shout out back . 01:26:19.750 --> 01:26:21.861 That's watching the livestream .

Whoa .
