00:16.540 --> 00:18.500
I am Greg Parker and I work in the

00:18.500 --> 00:20.833
microwave . Very indoor flight test lab .

00:21.140 --> 00:24.030
The indoor flight lab is designed to

00:24.040 --> 00:26.210
test micro air vehicles . We have a

00:26.220 --> 00:28.220
bike on motion capture system which

00:28.220 --> 00:30.970
allows us to track vehicles , position

00:30.970 --> 00:33.192
and orientation within about 1/10 of an

00:33.192 --> 00:34.970
inch , knowing the position and

00:34.970 --> 00:36.692
orientation the vehicle . This

00:36.692 --> 00:38.914
accurately allows us to do all types of

00:38.914 --> 00:41.192
testing and from systems are d testing ,

00:41.192 --> 00:43.081
performance testing , really just

00:43.081 --> 00:45.303
decouple all the different technologies

00:45.303 --> 00:44.720
that have to go into the development of

00:44.720 --> 00:46.800
my career vehicle where most of the

00:46.800 --> 00:48.911
people in the director or interest in

00:48.911 --> 00:51.022
working in the flapping wing flight .

00:51.022 --> 00:53.244
We're looking at Fileting humming birds

00:53.244 --> 00:55.244
and Dragonflies , very , very small

00:55.244 --> 00:57.356
flapping queen vehicles . Right now ,

00:57.356 --> 00:59.411
we're looking at all those different

00:59.411 --> 01:01.244
technologies from birds to small

01:01.244 --> 01:03.189
insects and even bad flight . What

01:03.189 --> 01:05.411
makes me proud to work in this facility

01:05.411 --> 01:07.633
is knowing that , you know , years down

01:07.633 --> 01:09.522
the line , I will be able to have

01:09.522 --> 01:11.744
contributed to a new capability for the

01:11.744 --> 01:13.800
war fighter . And that's what really

01:13.800 --> 01:15.967
excites me about . Working in this lab

01:15.967 --> 01:18.189
is we're at the very beginning of a new

01:18.189 --> 01:17.610
capability for the United States Air

01:17.610 --> 01:17.950
