00:00:01,454 --> 00:00:04,037
(drone flying)

2
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:06,920
- This drone is a game changer.

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,304
(upbeat music)

4
00:00:11,304 --> 00:00:13,887
(man on phone)

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,540
- It potentially save lives.

6
00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:20,550
It'll definitely save time, money, effort

7
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:22,600
and we'll be able to get a lot more done.

8
00:00:23,463 --> 00:00:26,130
(drones flying)

9
00:00:28,855 --> 00:00:31,480
- [narrator] The 68 security
forces were implementing a new

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,993
Autonomous Drone system.

11
00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:36,963
(drone flying)

12
00:00:36,963 --> 00:00:39,310
Targets met goal with
this drone system is to

13
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:41,149
ensure we always have an eye on the sky.

14
00:00:41,149 --> 00:00:44,560
Whenever we have a major
response or an alarm response

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,680
perimeter security situation,
we can throw the drone

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,290
up in the air, having get to
the scene before defenders do

17
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:52,670
and it'll tell our defenders what they're

18
00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:54,010
about to pull up on.

19
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:55,290
- So we ensure

20
00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:57,790
that their safety is the
first thing in our minds.

21
00:01:00,276 --> 00:01:03,510
- [narrator] So now that
we're done with the research

22
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:06,580
and development portion
of this drone system

23
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:09,423
we're gonna move into
strictly training to operate.

24
00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:13,833
- Training for the drone group
has been a lot of field work.

25
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:18,580
Every day, every time we
test, every time we fly

26
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:21,550
our capabilities grow ,our knowledge grows

27
00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:23,647
and our potential grows.

28
00:01:23,647 --> 00:01:25,400
(upbeat music)

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,770
- [narrator] The impact of
this program is going to have

30
00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:29,080
on the Air Force is the fact

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,229
that it can be used in
many different capacities.

32
00:01:32,229 --> 00:01:34,700
It could be used with civil engineering

33
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:36,790
for their fire department
to where they can use it

34
00:01:36,790 --> 00:01:38,680
for their major incident response

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,600
or their structure shops
to inspect rooftops.

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,470
The maintenance group
wants to possibly use it

37
00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:46,480
for tail inspections.

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,420
Just the opportunities for
this system in the air force ,

39
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:50,933
are endless.

40
00:01:50,933 --> 00:01:52,810
(upbeat music)

41
00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:57,180
Being ,attached to a
program of this magnitude,

42
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:01,313
and at the groundbreaking
essentially is just humbling.

43
00:02:03,247 --> 00:02:07,170
- [narrator] This is truly a,
I guess, a pioneering moment

44
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:11,659
for the air force for the
DOD and mainly for Travis.

45
00:02:11,659 --> 00:02:14,242
