00:01.435 --> 00:03.260
- [Narrator] The United
States Air Force has ability

00:03.260 --> 00:04.730
to fly, fight, and win,

00:04.730 --> 00:07.800
and future conflicts
comes down to training.

00:07.800 --> 00:10.900
Luke Air Force Base trains more
fighter pilots for the U.S.

00:10.900 --> 00:13.710
and allied air operations
than any other air base

00:13.710 --> 00:15.110
in the world.

00:15.110 --> 00:18.040
At Luke Air Force Base,
the 56th Fighter Wing's job

00:18.040 --> 00:21.340
is to make sure that every
hour our students spend flying,

00:21.340 --> 00:23.210
results in them being that much closer

00:23.210 --> 00:24.360
to being ready for war.

00:25.340 --> 00:27.980
Our training is successful
because we work constantly

00:27.980 --> 00:30.560
to replicate an environment
as close as possible

00:30.560 --> 00:32.950
to real world mission situations.

00:32.950 --> 00:34.860
We execute our best tactics in the air,

00:34.860 --> 00:37.720
then come back and spend hours debriefing.

00:37.720 --> 00:40.130
We review the game tape
to see what happened,

00:40.130 --> 00:43.620
what mistakes were made, and
how we can do better next time.

00:43.620 --> 00:46.230
This is where the core of our
learning experience happens,

00:46.230 --> 00:49.400
in the debrief after the flying is done.

00:49.400 --> 00:51.180
The current debrief methods force us

00:51.180 --> 00:54.000
to translate the three-dimensional
flying environment

00:54.000 --> 00:57.400
into a two-dimensional medium,
whether it's a whiteboard,

00:57.400 --> 01:00.660
computer screen, or laminated map.

01:00.660 --> 01:04.020
We've invested heavily in
new tools and capabilities

01:04.020 --> 01:06.510
to execute tomorrow's missions in the air.

01:06.510 --> 01:08.630
But when it comes to tools used to analyze

01:08.630 --> 01:11.130
and learn from these
missions, we have not kept up

01:11.130 --> 01:13.070
with the same pace of innovation.

01:13.070 --> 01:14.653
It's time for that to change.

01:15.560 --> 01:16.530
In partnership with

01:16.530 --> 01:19.670
Arizona State University's Luminosity Lab,

01:19.670 --> 01:22.020
we have developed Next Gen Debrief,

01:22.020 --> 01:24.220
a concept that brings cutting edge tools

01:24.220 --> 01:27.220
to the important work that
happens after the flying is done.

01:28.530 --> 01:31.220
Next Gen Debrief uses augmented reality

01:31.220 --> 01:32.920
to project a three-dimensional scene

01:32.920 --> 01:35.150
inside the debriefing
room, allowing pilots

01:35.150 --> 01:37.740
to view scenarios from any angle.

01:37.740 --> 01:40.310
Utilizing the same data
that is already collected

01:40.310 --> 01:42.330
by aircraft instrumentation,

01:42.330 --> 01:44.090
we can give mission participants

01:44.090 --> 01:46.340
a radically new perspective.

01:46.340 --> 01:48.830
The scene can be shared
between multiple participants

01:48.830 --> 01:52.890
in the same room, or even across
multiple locations or bases

01:52.890 --> 01:55.220
for a distributed debrief.

01:55.220 --> 01:58.340
Next Gen Debrief changes
the game for our training,

01:58.340 --> 02:01.010
but the possibilities for
this innovative environment

02:01.010 --> 02:02.760
does not stop here.

02:02.760 --> 02:05.300
The same augmented reality
technology being used

02:05.300 --> 02:07.830
for Next Gen Debrief could transform

02:07.830 --> 02:09.710
and accelerate how we plan for it

02:09.710 --> 02:12.263
and even how we execute
Air Force missions.

02:13.100 --> 02:17.320
Flying time and advanced combat
aircraft is very expensive.

02:17.320 --> 02:20.720
Next Gen Debrief is an
important step we can take today

02:20.720 --> 02:22.120
to make sure that we get the most

02:22.120 --> 02:24.223
out of every hour spent in the air.

02:26.091 --> 02:28.591
