00:00.450 --> 00:02.120
- [Williams] This is an
Air Force Tech Report.

00:02.120 --> 00:04.420
I'm Airman First Class Marcus Williams.

00:04.420 --> 00:06.300
MOTAR, or Maintenance Operations

00:06.300 --> 00:08.030
and Training Augmented Reality,

00:08.030 --> 00:11.730
is a new idea that's in the
process of becoming operational.

00:11.730 --> 00:14.520
It's intended to revolutionize
aircraft maintenance,

00:14.520 --> 00:17.280
using elements of
off-the-shelf technology.

00:17.280 --> 00:19.810
The goal of MOTAR is
to reduce human error,

00:19.810 --> 00:22.200
while increasing training
speed and knowledge sharing

00:22.200 --> 00:23.980
through augmented reality.

00:23.980 --> 00:26.567
The Tennessee Air National Guard's

00:26.567 --> 00:27.400
Master Sergeant Thomas Crider

00:27.400 --> 00:28.840
developed the hands-free system

00:28.840 --> 00:31.970
that allows enhanced, animated
step-by-step instructions,

00:31.970 --> 00:34.810
which speeds up learning
and reduces errors.

00:34.810 --> 00:36.030
Visible safety warnings

00:36.030 --> 00:37.890
and graphically enhanced safety zones

00:37.890 --> 00:40.520
make working safer and protects equipment.

00:40.520 --> 00:42.270
Multiple maintainers or crew members

00:42.270 --> 00:43.830
can synchronize their views

00:43.830 --> 00:45.990
and collaborate on tasks more easily.

00:45.990 --> 00:48.880
Supervisors and planners
are able to monitor tasks

00:48.880 --> 00:50.770
and plan metrics.

00:50.770 --> 00:53.350
The innovative and
affordable MOTAR also allows

00:53.350 --> 00:55.720
integrated training
within the same framework

00:55.720 --> 00:56.920
used on the job.

00:56.920 --> 00:58.870
This has been an Air Force Tech Report.
