00:00.106 --> 00:02.810
(Upbeat music)

00:02.810 --> 00:04.160
[Jonathan]- So today we're out here

00:04.160 --> 00:06.660
with the logistics
combat element with MRF-D

00:06.660 --> 00:09.430
trying to test the limitations
and capabilities of the

00:09.430 --> 00:11.928
light weight purification system.

00:11.928 --> 00:12.761
(Splash)

00:12.761 --> 00:14.670
Typically you would deploy it in a Quadcon

00:14.670 --> 00:17.050
but what we're doing today is
instead of pulling everything

00:17.050 --> 00:18.940
out of a box we're
leaving it on the truck.

00:18.940 --> 00:21.600
And all we have to do is drive
the truck up to the water,

00:21.600 --> 00:24.100
put the hoses in the water,
and purify from there.

00:25.830 --> 00:28.370
It is the first time we actually
were able to come out here

00:28.370 --> 00:29.990
and deploy it into the water

00:29.990 --> 00:31.840
and see how fast we can make it work.

00:33.000 --> 00:35.190
We're looking at anything
between maybe 30 minutes

00:35.190 --> 00:37.750
to 50 minutes, um, cutting that time out

00:37.750 --> 00:39.480
and it also will cut down time

00:39.480 --> 00:41.923
for putting the gear away and driving off.

00:43.480 --> 00:45.470
So the biggest struggle is I would say is

00:45.470 --> 00:47.740
everything is again in
a very confined space.

00:47.740 --> 00:48.950
Here everything is pre-installed,

00:48.950 --> 00:50.690
you can't move the items around.

00:50.690 --> 00:53.700
There's very little
flexibility, so coming out here

00:53.700 --> 00:56.350
with the set-up already in mind
about what we're going to do

00:56.350 --> 00:57.353
was really helpful.

00:59.130 --> 01:01.130
We can actually use this
in multiple scenarios

01:01.130 --> 01:03.810
whether it's for our own
marines in the field,

01:03.810 --> 01:05.470
or if there's a...a natural disaster

01:05.470 --> 01:08.430
and maybe a hurricane hits
and there's very limited water

01:08.430 --> 01:10.560
to hand out we can actually go out,

01:10.560 --> 01:13.530
and whether its the lake,
the beach, the river we

01:13.530 --> 01:16.230
can actually turn that water
into water to distribute

01:16.230 --> 01:17.440
to whoever needs it.

01:17.440 --> 01:18.840
[Marine]- Tastes like water!
