1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,610 I'm Captain Christopher on 3 18 S . O . 2 00:00:02,610 --> 00:00:04,760 S . U . 28 pilot . Imagine your 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,927 overhead a battlefield . You look down 4 00:00:06,927 --> 00:00:09,093 with your sensor and you see some kind 5 00:00:09,093 --> 00:00:11,260 of tracked armored vehicle . You don't 6 00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:13,420 know what it is . So as aircrew , you 7 00:00:13,420 --> 00:00:17,360 pull out your FB , scroll to your 8 00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:19,648 visual recognition app and click on it . 9 00:00:19,648 --> 00:00:21,759 You look at the pictures , you scroll 10 00:00:21,759 --> 00:00:23,759 down to something that matches what 11 00:00:23,759 --> 00:00:25,814 you're looking at and it says you're 12 00:00:25,814 --> 00:00:28,170 looking at a BMP one , You passed that 13 00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:31,860 down to intel with 10 digit grid and 14 00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:34,140 get on with your story . So for the 15 00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:36,029 past 20 years , the Air force has 16 00:00:36,029 --> 00:00:38,251 fought the global war on terror against 17 00:00:38,251 --> 00:00:40,362 folks driving high lux is carrying Ak 18 00:00:40,362 --> 00:00:42,840 47 now that we're in the GPC fight in 19 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,780 europe and in the pacific , our forces 20 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:48,440 are not proficient at identifying enemy 21 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,890 equipment such as boats or tanks . 22 00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:54,470 So I believe the solution to this 23 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:57,220 visual recognition or visit the problem 24 00:00:57,230 --> 00:00:59,950 is an FB app that all air crew can use , 25 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,071 such as this one that you can find on 26 00:01:02,071 --> 00:01:03,904 the app store . Uh , this is not 27 00:01:03,904 --> 00:01:06,127 endorsement , but this is a good visual 28 00:01:06,127 --> 00:01:08,182 tool to see what something like this 29 00:01:08,182 --> 00:01:10,349 could look like . For example , you're 30 00:01:10,349 --> 00:01:12,460 looking at something that's tracked , 31 00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:14,627 maybe an infantry fighting vehicle and 32 00:01:14,627 --> 00:01:16,738 maybe it's a BMP one right here . You 33 00:01:16,738 --> 00:01:18,571 can visually see that you've got 34 00:01:18,571 --> 00:01:21,280 current tracks and whatnot . I believe 35 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,502 the Air force can create own version of 36 00:01:23,502 --> 00:01:25,502 this app using kUI numbers from the 37 00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:28,550 fire or using weapon to target pairings . 38 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,200 So this visit the app is a very low key 39 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,367 idea . But I believe the shoot for the 40 00:01:33,367 --> 00:01:35,460 Moon version would be to use machine 41 00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:38,370 learning to automate aircraft defensive 42 00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:41,600 systems . Again in the last 20 years , 43 00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:44,570 our aircrew mostly had to deal with gen 44 00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:47,250 one and gen two manpads . But in the G 45 00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:50,200 P . C . World , the TT AO is everything 46 00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:53,140 from tactical manpads to strategic Sams . 47 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,087 I believe moving the ability to switch 48 00:01:56,087 --> 00:01:58,309 the defensive system , programming from 49 00:01:58,309 --> 00:02:00,531 man to machine is not only feasible but 50 00:02:00,531 --> 00:02:02,698 also save lives as the air force moves 51 00:02:02,698 --> 00:02:03,970 into the G . P . C . World .
