00:01.340 --> 00:06.650
321

00:07.140 --> 00:10.570
under strict safety protocols Within

00:10.570 --> 00:12.626
the Air Force civil Engineer centers

00:12.626 --> 00:14.737
specialized ballistics range facility

00:14.737 --> 00:16.959
on Tyndall Air Force base florida . The

00:16.959 --> 00:19.181
process is relatively straightforward .

00:19.181 --> 00:21.126
Fire a shot check to determine the

00:21.126 --> 00:23.420
range as safe , inspect and document

00:23.420 --> 00:27.340
the results , reload and repeat several

00:27.350 --> 00:29.360
times . We not only bringing new

00:29.360 --> 00:31.960
materials to the warfighter but also we

00:31.960 --> 00:34.140
need to test those materials when you

00:34.140 --> 00:36.362
are in a combat environment so you need

00:36.362 --> 00:38.473
to test what is that strength and how

00:38.473 --> 00:40.473
they're going to react to munitions

00:40.473 --> 00:42.584
experts from the Air Force , Army and

00:42.584 --> 00:44.418
the Navy all have an interest in

00:44.418 --> 00:46.307
testing the ballistics effects on

00:46.307 --> 00:48.473
additive lee manufactured or three D .

00:48.473 --> 00:50.418
Printed concrete wall samples when

00:50.418 --> 00:52.307
fired upon by various calibers of

00:52.307 --> 00:54.362
ammunition additive manufacturing is

00:54.362 --> 00:56.307
the industrial production name for

00:56.307 --> 00:58.084
three D . Printing . A computer

00:58.084 --> 01:00.196
controlled process that creates three

01:00.196 --> 01:00.120
dimensional objects by depositing

01:00.120 --> 01:02.010
desired materials including wet

01:02.020 --> 01:04.750
concrete , usually in layers . The Navy

01:04.750 --> 01:06.820
is a customer with this three D .

01:06.820 --> 01:09.060
Printed wall . The army actually

01:09.060 --> 01:11.190
prepared and manufactured it And then

01:11.190 --> 01:13.357
we hear in the Air Force we're testing

01:13.357 --> 01:15.301
it for ballistics and they're also

01:15.301 --> 01:16.801
informing our own additive

01:16.801 --> 01:18.912
manufacturing program . This critical

01:18.912 --> 01:21.023
testing carried out within this state

01:21.023 --> 01:23.190
of the art ballistics range was one of

01:23.190 --> 01:22.760
the missions that had to be recovered

01:22.760 --> 01:24.982
after Category five Hurricane Michael's

01:24.982 --> 01:26.816
devastation of central northwest

01:26.816 --> 01:29.320
florida in late 2018 . It was under six

01:29.320 --> 01:31.376
ft of water during Hurricane Michael

01:31.376 --> 01:33.540
and we've reconstituted it from the

01:33.540 --> 01:35.429
ground up . We had to buy all new

01:35.429 --> 01:37.651
equipment to get it back where it needs

01:37.651 --> 01:39.873
to be . In the relationship with Afghan

01:39.873 --> 01:42.040
is great and then we can work together

01:42.040 --> 01:44.151
and share the expertise and knowledge

01:44.151 --> 01:46.151
because at the end of the day we're

01:46.151 --> 01:47.984
working for D . O . D . We share

01:47.984 --> 01:50.262
resources for US Civil Engineer Center .

01:50.262 --> 01:52.540
It's all about the facility . You know ,

01:52.540 --> 01:54.707
Where do we put our airmen downrange ?

01:54.707 --> 01:56.651
How do we protect them for the Air

01:56.651 --> 01:58.873
Force installation and emission support

01:58.873 --> 02:00.090
center ? I'm Ryan God
