00:00.598 --> 00:03.059
- [Jerry] So, the exercise
that we conducted,

00:03.059 --> 00:07.115
Operation World Book
allowed us to validate

00:07.115 --> 00:11.383
the equipment being used
aboard a UAS system.

00:11.383 --> 00:12.926
In this case it was the Reaper

00:12.926 --> 00:13.810
and the Puma.

00:13.810 --> 00:15.603
Using those camera systems

00:15.603 --> 00:17.891
to help us detect and count gear

00:17.891 --> 00:20.146
or Marine Corp Base can't help.

00:20.146 --> 00:21.864
In the past they've had to

00:21.864 --> 00:24.454
hire helicopters and actually go out

00:24.454 --> 00:28.808
and conduct counts by the
use of the helicopter.

00:28.808 --> 00:31.087
So, were using this equipment

00:31.087 --> 00:32.445
and it will be just as effective

00:32.445 --> 00:34.585
or even more effective.

00:34.585 --> 00:36.923
We were able to demonstrate
that we could take

00:36.923 --> 00:41.191
the video feed from a UAS and push it down

00:41.191 --> 00:43.666
to the emergency operation
center of the base.

00:43.666 --> 00:46.560
It's a mere fact that we
can receive video feed

00:46.560 --> 00:48.031
in the EOC.

00:48.031 --> 00:50.618
Allows us to have that much more

00:50.618 --> 00:52.407
capability when it comes to providing

00:52.407 --> 00:55.087
the commanding general with situational

00:55.087 --> 00:56.528
awareness.

00:56.528 --> 00:59.486
It could be a post earthquake

00:59.486 --> 01:01.695
situation where we need to go up

01:01.695 --> 01:04.121
and quickly survey damage.

01:04.121 --> 01:06.695
Put a UAS up into the air and safely

01:06.695 --> 01:09.331
fly it around and utilizing the video

01:09.331 --> 01:12.392
feed to understand what the
extent of the damage is.

01:12.392 --> 01:15.252
If we had a lost hiker,
lost marine in the field

01:15.252 --> 01:17.505
we wouldn't have to put marines online,

01:17.505 --> 01:20.022
wouldn't have to put
helicopters into the air

01:20.022 --> 01:21.132
to search for that marine.

01:21.132 --> 01:23.216
We just simply go grid by grid

01:23.216 --> 01:26.174
with our UAS systems and large amounts

01:26.174 --> 01:29.425
of territory that much quicker.

01:29.425 --> 01:32.008
(upbeat music)
