(soft music)

00:01.980 --> 00:03.330
- One of the Department of Defense's

00:03.330 --> 00:04.800
most important objectives

00:04.800 --> 00:06.723
is to defend the homeland from attack.

00:08.110 --> 00:10.130
This statement frames the battlefield

00:10.130 --> 00:13.563
in which our security forces
Airmen live each and every day.

00:14.790 --> 00:16.930
By working together with
partners in industry,

00:16.930 --> 00:20.270
our defenders are able to
couple emerging technology

00:20.270 --> 00:21.890
with their operational mission

00:21.890 --> 00:23.773
to see what works and what doesn't.

00:25.660 --> 00:27.640
We can take a piece of commercial hardware

00:27.640 --> 00:29.040
or advanced prototype

00:29.040 --> 00:31.120
and see if it holds up to the heat,

00:31.120 --> 00:33.743
the wind, the sand and the OPSTEMPO,

00:33.743 --> 00:35.510
that the defenders require.

00:36.370 --> 00:38.493
We then capture those lessons

00:38.493 --> 00:40.030
and push them to the rest of the Air Force

00:40.030 --> 00:41.670
to ensure that no one else

00:41.670 --> 00:44.140
makes the same mistakes that we did,

00:44.140 --> 00:46.560
and that every unit benefits

00:46.560 --> 00:48.043
from everything we learn.

00:49.500 --> 00:51.440
This is where we triumph,

00:51.440 --> 00:52.523
this is where we win.

00:54.013 --> 00:56.257
This is Test.

00:56.257 --> 00:58.757
