00:05.212 --> 00:09.379
(background commentary from instructor to class)

00:09.522 --> 00:11.637
- [Narrator] Phoenix Endeavor is a spectrum

00:11.637 --> 00:13.887
information sharing module.

00:14.586 --> 00:18.753
It supports humanitarian aid and disaster relief events.

00:19.760 --> 00:23.927
- Spectrum is anything that emits radio frequency radiation,

00:25.202 --> 00:27.974
RF radiation, anything that emits,

00:27.974 --> 00:29.976
anything that radiates energy

00:29.976 --> 00:32.443
it takes place in the electromagnetic spectrum.

00:32.443 --> 00:36.443
(classmates discussing project)

00:38.196 --> 00:39.635
- [Narrator] This workshop develops core

00:39.635 --> 00:41.973
competencies amongst the participants

00:41.973 --> 00:45.306
in spectrum preparedness and operations.

00:46.015 --> 00:49.010
- What we did was we asked our Australian counterparts

00:49.010 --> 00:51.927
to set up a dummy radio, basically,

00:54.903 --> 00:58.828
and just go out there and then we would walk the students

00:58.828 --> 01:00.908
through how to pinpoint the signal

01:00.908 --> 01:03.322
and then how to use the equipment

01:03.322 --> 01:07.489
to actually approach it in what we call direction-finding.

01:08.540 --> 01:11.790
It's locating the source of the signal.

01:14.043 --> 01:15.565
- [Narrator] Phoenix Endeavor is a component

01:15.565 --> 01:18.902
of Pacific Endeavor which is a multi-national

01:18.902 --> 01:21.678
communications interoperability program

01:21.678 --> 01:24.095
that addresses HADR response.

01:25.413 --> 01:29.580
- I see that this has become, it's gaining momentum.

01:29.664 --> 01:31.350
We have a lot more participation,

01:31.350 --> 01:34.166
I see a lot more interaction among everybody

01:34.166 --> 01:37.235
not just in the spectrum world but on the cyber side, too.

01:37.235 --> 01:40.985
This is gaining momentum and it's good to see

01:42.036 --> 01:45.111
this progress forward because I think what everybody

01:45.111 --> 01:49.157
here is accomplishing is actually for the greater good.

01:49.157 --> 01:51.512
