00:00.896 --> 00:03.646
(marker squeaks)

00:05.220 --> 00:06.560
- The product we brought here

00:06.560 --> 00:08.860
is a micro-climate heating
and cooling device,

00:08.860 --> 00:11.940
and we're blowing ambient air
through using some special

00:11.940 --> 00:14.340
fabrics that really
enhance the cooling effect.

00:14.340 --> 00:16.070
And we have a little
chamois that you can wet it

00:16.070 --> 00:18.370
and really enhance the cooling as well.

00:18.370 --> 00:19.960
I've talked to helicopter pilots

00:19.960 --> 00:22.250
and one of the big
complaints about any product

00:22.250 --> 00:24.360
like what we're doing is
it can't be restrictive,

00:24.360 --> 00:25.400
it can't weigh too much

00:25.400 --> 00:27.120
and it certainly cannot
take too much power.

00:27.120 --> 00:29.730
And ours is total of two
pounds with the battery.

00:29.730 --> 00:32.690
And five, six watts for cooling.

00:32.690 --> 00:35.630
The primary audience
is the AFSOC Community,

00:35.630 --> 00:37.340
Tactical and Non Tactical.

00:37.340 --> 00:38.550
We have a product for the people

00:38.550 --> 00:40.070
who are going to be
wearing the Tactical vest,

00:40.070 --> 00:41.070
the plates in there,

00:41.070 --> 00:43.810
right now there is no air
flow underneath those plates.

00:43.810 --> 00:47.060
So what we've done is built
a little set off in our vest

00:47.060 --> 00:48.990
and so we're blowin' air into that area

00:48.990 --> 00:51.150
where there's no air right now.

00:51.150 --> 00:54.300
The key is keep it tight
enough to your body where

00:54.300 --> 00:56.710
it's gonna really increase that air flow.

00:56.710 --> 01:01.440
Last week we've delivered
30 units to AFSOC and FRL,

01:01.440 --> 01:04.080
they will begin an operational
end user assessment

01:04.080 --> 01:06.790
within about two weeks, at
the end of that report period

01:06.790 --> 01:10.020
we should have a quick
look report by August 19

01:10.020 --> 01:13.970
and we're are at like
a TRL seven right now

01:13.970 --> 01:15.110
if we can keep that,

01:15.110 --> 01:18.760
or increase that to an
eight then we're eligible

01:18.760 --> 01:20.900
for phase three funding.

01:20.900 --> 01:25.900
And if that happens, we
believe we can move quickly

01:25.900 --> 01:27.500
to get it out into the marketplace.

01:27.500 --> 01:30.750
Yesterdays demo and
presentation to Shahady

01:30.750 --> 01:32.740
and those folks went extremely well.

01:32.740 --> 01:35.360
The feedback yesterday
was very, very positive.

01:35.360 --> 01:37.410
In fact he said that he considered us

01:37.410 --> 01:38.770
as one of the success stories.

01:38.770 --> 01:42.010
He said we consider you to be a graduate

01:42.010 --> 01:44.950
of the SBIR program for
this particular technology,

01:44.950 --> 01:46.860
which is music to my ears.

01:46.860 --> 01:50.560
Because that means we kinda
get the shove out the door

01:50.560 --> 01:54.110
to go out with their
approval, and their backing

01:54.950 --> 01:56.550
to meet with the right folks

01:56.550 --> 01:58.580
and try to take this to the phase three.

01:58.580 --> 01:59.740
Those people are worth a lot,

01:59.740 --> 02:00.910
and that's one of the things I love

02:00.910 --> 02:02.373
about coming to this event.
