00:06.949 --> 00:09.060
Leaders from the Air Force recruiting

00:09.060 --> 00:11.060
service . Defense Health Agency and

00:11.060 --> 00:13.282
Tricare are collaborating to brainstorm

00:13.282 --> 00:15.227
health care solutions for military

00:15.227 --> 00:17.282
recruiters in remote locations . The

00:17.282 --> 00:19.116
recruiting service is working to

00:19.116 --> 00:21.171
identify locations with the greatest

00:21.171 --> 00:23.282
challenges to medical provider access

00:23.282 --> 00:25.449
to enable the defense health agency to

00:25.449 --> 00:25.329
focus on areas where improvements are

00:25.340 --> 00:27.139
needed . Most the trilateral

00:27.149 --> 00:28.982
partnership also aims to educate

00:28.982 --> 00:30.982
recruiters and their families about

00:30.982 --> 00:33.038
health care options by engaging with

00:33.038 --> 00:35.260
members prior to their first assignment

00:35.260 --> 00:37.316
and develop a monthly briefing about

00:37.316 --> 00:39.260
plans and benefits . The Air Force

00:39.260 --> 00:41.205
Research Laboratory is leading the

00:41.205 --> 00:43.371
development of a new system to enhance

00:43.371 --> 00:43.227
precision for explosive ordinance

00:43.236 --> 00:45.576
disposal . Robots in partnership with

00:45.587 --> 00:47.643
the Air and Space Force tech connect

00:47.643 --> 00:49.698
service . The new technology aims to

00:49.698 --> 00:51.754
improve precision and safety for EOD

00:51.754 --> 00:53.976
personnel by increasing depth detection

00:53.976 --> 00:56.198
while controlling robots during counter

00:56.198 --> 00:58.476
improvised explosive device operations ,

00:58.476 --> 01:00.643
current robots rely on two dimensional

01:00.643 --> 01:02.476
cameras to determine depth . The

01:02.476 --> 01:04.309
upgraded system , you , infrared

01:04.309 --> 01:06.143
sensors and led lights to better

01:06.143 --> 01:08.198
mitigate risk in a three dimensional

01:08.198 --> 01:10.143
environment . Technical sergeant ,

01:10.143 --> 01:12.143
Daniel Trombone 99th civil engineer

01:12.143 --> 01:14.365
squadron EOD team leader says precision

01:14.365 --> 01:16.365
is everything for an EOD technician

01:16.365 --> 01:18.531
because there's no room for error . He

01:18.531 --> 01:20.754
adds , it's critical for technicians to

01:20.754 --> 01:22.976
solve as many problems as possible with

01:22.976 --> 01:22.723
their robots before directly exposing

01:22.734 --> 01:25.134
themselves to danger . A new ejection

01:25.143 --> 01:26.976
seat configuration is undergoing

01:26.976 --> 01:28.865
testing on the air force's newest

01:28.865 --> 01:31.032
trainer aircraft . The T seven A , the

01:31.032 --> 01:33.143
tests aim to ensure the effectiveness

01:33.143 --> 01:35.365
of a drogue shoot during slower speed .

01:35.365 --> 01:37.032
Ejections , drogue shoots are

01:37.032 --> 01:39.254
traditionally used to slow the seat and

01:39.254 --> 01:41.421
occupant down at ejection speeds above

01:41.421 --> 01:43.254
250 knots . Before the personnel

01:43.254 --> 01:45.365
parachute is deployed . The T seven A

01:45.365 --> 01:47.476
program is collecting data in dynamic

01:47.476 --> 01:49.587
environments with constantly changing

01:49.587 --> 01:51.699
air speeds to provide proof of theory

01:51.699 --> 01:51.530
and update modeling software for

01:51.541 --> 01:53.652
ejection seat performance for a wider

01:53.652 --> 01:55.597
range of pilots . That's your look

01:55.597 --> 01:57.652
around the air force . I'm technical
