WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.020 sparking 00:05.020 --> 00:06.964 innovation requires dedication and 00:06.964 --> 00:08.964 drive the team at the collaborative 00:08.964 --> 00:11.400 environment and strike work spent 2021 00:11.400 --> 00:13.580 making innovation a reality for Air 00:13.580 --> 00:15.980 Force Global Strike Command , the 00:15.980 --> 00:18.091 result of a partnership between cyber 00:18.091 --> 00:20.258 innovation center and Air Force Global 00:20.258 --> 00:22.202 Strike Command Office of the Chief 00:22.202 --> 00:24.369 scientist . These accomplishments will 00:24.369 --> 00:26.647 stretch to every corner of the command . 00:27.340 --> 00:29.284 Strike works kicked off the year , 00:29.284 --> 00:31.360 revolutionizing emergency air crew 00:31.360 --> 00:33.410 alerting by sourcing three new 00:33.410 --> 00:35.890 technologies . So the purpose of the 00:35.890 --> 00:38.001 emergency air crew response challenge 00:38.001 --> 00:40.420 was to replace 1970s Jimmy Carter era 00:40.420 --> 00:43.070 technology with a current technology 00:43.070 --> 00:45.190 that meets the need for strategic 00:45.190 --> 00:48.420 command's air crew alerting out of 47 00:48.420 --> 00:50.850 different companies that submitted . We 00:50.850 --> 00:52.850 narrowed that down to three that we 00:52.850 --> 00:55.072 went out three different companies that 00:55.072 --> 00:57.128 we went out and take a look at their 00:57.128 --> 00:59.350 technologies as the one that caught our 00:59.350 --> 01:01.980 eye first was a local Louisiana company 01:01.980 --> 01:04.390 Pelican that talked about him hardening 01:04.390 --> 01:06.700 cabinet . That changed the way we do 01:06.700 --> 01:08.922 hemp . The next thing that we looked at 01:08.922 --> 01:11.033 and the most unique when we looked at 01:11.033 --> 01:13.089 was actually a replacement too . The 01:13.089 --> 01:15.311 pager that I have in my hand that we've 01:15.311 --> 01:17.422 been using , that air crews have been 01:17.422 --> 01:19.367 using in the field for the last 30 01:19.367 --> 01:21.850 years or so with what will become a 01:21.850 --> 01:24.480 potential aircrew patch will be much 01:24.480 --> 01:26.536 thinner than this but about the same 01:26.536 --> 01:28.480 size that will actually go on your 01:28.480 --> 01:30.702 uniform and it will provide not only an 01:30.702 --> 01:32.640 audible alert but also give you 01:32.640 --> 01:34.950 capability here . The text . This new 01:34.950 --> 01:38.570 technology Is untamable and also can 01:38.570 --> 01:41.470 transmit through virtually any type of 01:41.480 --> 01:44.240 metal or around buildings and those 01:44.240 --> 01:46.650 dead spots are eliminated . Strike work 01:46.650 --> 01:48.880 source to companies to prototype one of 01:48.880 --> 01:51.410 a kind capabilities via the B- 52 air 01:51.410 --> 01:54.510 refueling simulator . Air refueling is 01:54.510 --> 01:56.621 a crucial skill for pilots to learn , 01:56.621 --> 01:58.343 but it is also one of the most 01:58.343 --> 02:00.566 challenging . In addition , training is 02:00.566 --> 02:02.288 expensive to maintain and time 02:02.288 --> 02:04.840 consuming to conduct this unique 02:04.840 --> 02:06.951 cutting edge simulator will teach the 02:06.951 --> 02:09.229 skills necessary for maintaining vital , 02:09.229 --> 02:11.340 long range strike capability . Strike 02:11.340 --> 02:13.451 works process is different from other 02:13.451 --> 02:15.451 approaches to find solutions . It's 02:15.451 --> 02:17.507 exciting to survey the wide range of 02:17.507 --> 02:19.673 cutting edge capabilities that are out 02:19.673 --> 02:19.200 there . We were able to take the work 02:19.210 --> 02:21.321 being done by small business partners 02:21.321 --> 02:23.488 like King Crow Studios and Speculative 02:23.488 --> 02:25.599 Theory And have them collaborate with 02:25.599 --> 02:27.766 B- 52 instructor pilots then turn them 02:27.766 --> 02:29.710 loose to build the best prototypes 02:29.710 --> 02:31.932 based on the latest technologies in the 02:31.932 --> 02:33.877 simulation industry . See also saw 02:33.877 --> 02:35.821 major gains in bringing innovative 02:35.821 --> 02:38.043 solutions to global strike challenges . 02:38.043 --> 02:40.300 Beta flicks is developing a solution 02:40.300 --> 02:42.300 that will help the largest group of 02:42.300 --> 02:44.467 security forces in the Air force . The 02:44.467 --> 02:46.411 rest in Louisiana based company is 02:46.411 --> 02:48.467 building a mixed reality trainer for 02:48.467 --> 02:50.710 the a circuit security device used in 02:50.720 --> 02:52.664 intercontinental ballistic missile 02:52.664 --> 02:55.240 fields . Yea , circuit is similar to a 02:55.240 --> 02:57.351 vault door and has the important task 02:57.351 --> 03:00.150 of safeguarding I C B M fields but that 03:00.150 --> 03:02.372 also means combinations must be changed 03:02.372 --> 03:04.372 regularly on a very delicate device 03:04.740 --> 03:06.740 being off by a single digit or even 03:06.740 --> 03:08.851 bumping the device during combination 03:08.851 --> 03:11.073 changes can result in a costly and time 03:11.073 --> 03:14.140 consuming solution . The a circuit 03:14.140 --> 03:16.251 trainer will be an immersive learning 03:16.251 --> 03:18.029 experience , combining the best 03:18.029 --> 03:19.640 elements of various learning 03:19.640 --> 03:21.751 technologies and techniques . It will 03:21.751 --> 03:23.751 impact security forces by equipping 03:23.751 --> 03:25.973 them with the necessary skills to avoid 03:25.973 --> 03:28.196 resetting the A circuit or replacing it 03:28.196 --> 03:29.973 altogether . The portfolio data 03:29.973 --> 03:31.918 engineering platform or PdF , is a 03:31.918 --> 03:34.084 project that will change how decisions 03:34.084 --> 03:36.196 are made . In Air Force Global Strike 03:36.196 --> 03:39.820 Command PdF is a groundbreaking 03:39.820 --> 03:42.430 approach to using data within Air Force 03:42.430 --> 03:45.070 Global Strike Command . The platform 03:45.080 --> 03:47.390 hosts data for decision makers to 03:47.390 --> 03:51.340 optimize mission effectiveness and how 03:51.350 --> 03:53.430 they utilize funding . PdF has the 03:53.440 --> 03:55.607 potential to change the way the entire 03:55.607 --> 03:57.773 command operates whether by automating 03:57.773 --> 03:59.940 repetitive tasks that soak up airman's 03:59.940 --> 03:59.900 time and increase the speed of 03:59.900 --> 04:02.250 reporting Or by making information more 04:02.250 --> 04:04.194 available and revealing previously 04:04.194 --> 04:06.950 unknown but useful information . 2021 04:06.950 --> 04:09.061 saw the collaborative environment and 04:09.061 --> 04:11.570 its partners in the command build a 04:11.570 --> 04:13.720 platform infrastructure And 04:13.720 --> 04:16.490 demonstration of revision zero at the 04:16.490 --> 04:20.100 PDF expo we generated a lot of 04:20.110 --> 04:22.332 interest from other commands within the 04:22.332 --> 04:25.100 Air Force and PdF has become a leading 04:25.100 --> 04:27.830 example of how a data science platform 04:27.830 --> 04:29.997 can be used within the D . O . D . E . 04:29.997 --> 04:32.219 P DEP is clearly pushing the boundaries 04:32.219 --> 04:34.274 of how the command analyzes and uses 04:34.274 --> 04:36.386 data and it will affect every area of 04:36.386 --> 04:38.497 Air Force Global Strike Command . The 04:38.497 --> 04:40.330 striker Airmen coder program saw 04:40.330 --> 04:42.386 another successful group of students 04:42.386 --> 04:44.441 develop software solutions that will 04:44.441 --> 04:46.552 mean a variety of long term impacts . 04:46.552 --> 04:48.774 Airmen leave the six month program with 04:48.774 --> 04:50.608 the skills to better serve their 04:50.608 --> 04:52.663 squadron . Local university students 04:52.663 --> 04:54.886 gain industry and military exposure and 04:54.886 --> 04:56.680 industry has provided access to 04:56.680 --> 04:59.760 potential future employees . The exact 04:59.760 --> 05:01.982 program for me was excellent experience 05:01.982 --> 05:03.982 and what I enjoyed most about it at 05:03.982 --> 05:06.038 least for the first three months was 05:06.038 --> 05:07.927 the chance to learn from industry 05:07.927 --> 05:09.871 experts , Guys who have been there 05:09.871 --> 05:11.927 field 10-20 years uh and then taking 05:11.927 --> 05:14.038 the time to teach us the ins and outs 05:14.038 --> 05:15.816 of software development . Um in 05:15.816 --> 05:17.704 addition to that , the last three 05:17.704 --> 05:19.816 months , the capstone is really where 05:19.816 --> 05:22.038 uh we applied all the skills that we've 05:22.038 --> 05:24.240 learned and really went beyond that , 05:24.250 --> 05:26.472 the stuff we learned during the capsule 05:26.472 --> 05:28.417 and portion really went beyond the 05:28.417 --> 05:30.417 language we were using in the skill 05:30.417 --> 05:32.361 sets we gained during the learning 05:32.361 --> 05:34.583 portion . Um we learned teamwork and we 05:34.583 --> 05:36.960 learned things like how to build an 05:36.960 --> 05:39.260 agile team , how to , how to work 05:39.260 --> 05:41.050 effectively as a team and do 05:41.050 --> 05:43.310 retrospectives and take our lessons 05:43.310 --> 05:45.421 learned and apply them to your future 05:45.421 --> 05:47.477 steps in the program . And those are 05:47.477 --> 05:47.410 things we can take back to our 05:47.410 --> 05:49.760 squadrons right now and apply them day 05:49.760 --> 05:51.990 to day . And even if we never program 05:51.990 --> 05:54.101 another day after doing this course , 05:54.101 --> 05:56.157 um , what we bring back to your wing 05:56.157 --> 05:57.990 and our command is so when we're 05:57.990 --> 06:00.212 talking to contractors to guys actually 06:00.212 --> 06:02.268 building our software applications , 06:02.268 --> 06:03.879 how we need to translate our 06:03.879 --> 06:06.101 operational requirements into technical 06:06.101 --> 06:08.323 requirements . Um , and that's a return 06:08.323 --> 06:10.434 that we get out of this program right 06:10.434 --> 06:12.379 away projects aren't the only area 06:12.379 --> 06:14.379 where ce and strike works had major 06:14.379 --> 06:16.750 impact . In 2021 69 events were hosted 06:16.750 --> 06:19.520 throughout 2021 that saw nearly 2000 06:19.520 --> 06:21.920 attendees and had the economic impact 06:21.930 --> 06:24.041 of more than half a million dollars . 06:24.240 --> 06:26.600 No events symbolize innovation more 06:26.780 --> 06:29.010 than the strike work spark sprint or S 06:29.010 --> 06:32.280 three S three highlighted and amplified 06:32.290 --> 06:34.530 airmen's innovative ideas from across 06:34.530 --> 06:37.210 the command everyday problems are 06:37.210 --> 06:38.988 coming up through global Strike 06:38.988 --> 06:41.154 headquarters and we bring these airmen 06:41.154 --> 06:43.266 into strike works to help solve those 06:43.266 --> 06:45.350 problems . 13 airmen were chosen by 06:45.350 --> 06:47.690 global strike innovation experts to 06:47.690 --> 06:49.634 spend a week at strike works being 06:49.634 --> 06:51.720 trained on how to best present their 06:51.720 --> 06:53.498 ideas to command leadership and 06:53.498 --> 06:55.490 business leaders . Staff Sergeant 06:55.490 --> 06:57.657 Daniel brewer and senior Airman Jordan 06:57.657 --> 06:59.740 heck from Davis Air Force Base texas 06:59.750 --> 07:01.910 and captain robert Moran and master 07:01.910 --> 07:04.270 Sergeant Julio Torres from barksdale 07:04.280 --> 07:06.630 Air Force Base Louisiana were voted as 07:06.630 --> 07:10.240 the S 3 2021 winners . Their ideas for 07:10.240 --> 07:12.360 a new communications field kit and an 07:12.370 --> 07:15.530 upgraded B 52 ejection seat kit Have 07:15.530 --> 07:18.720 advanced to the 2022 Air Force spark 07:18.720 --> 07:21.220 tank semifinals . They both have the 07:21.220 --> 07:23.442 opportunity to represent the command at 07:23.442 --> 07:25.750 the Air Force spark tank finals . We 07:25.750 --> 07:27.750 are helping these airmen push their 07:27.750 --> 07:30.090 projects where they need to go S three 07:30.090 --> 07:31.990 is all about helping our airmen's 07:32.000 --> 07:35.320 innovative ideas be heard . While 2021 07:35.320 --> 07:37.487 was the year of new highs , successful 07:37.487 --> 07:39.487 innovation only goes as far as your 07:39.487 --> 07:42.460 latest idea . See strike works in the 07:42.460 --> 07:44.404 office of the chief scientists are 07:44.404 --> 07:46.340 committed to making those ideas a 07:46.340 --> 07:47.470 reality .
