00:00.870 --> 00:02.926
ted X stands for the training device

00:02.926 --> 00:04.703
design and Engineering center .

00:11.070 --> 00:13.126
There's almost nothing that we can't

00:13.126 --> 00:15.070
produce for anybody . We've got it

00:15.070 --> 00:14.910
covered .

00:26.670 --> 00:28.670
Initially the requirements were for

00:28.670 --> 00:30.614
intercontinental ballistic missile

00:30.614 --> 00:32.770
support and training . Uh , and since

00:32.770 --> 00:35.880
then it has evolved into space lift and

00:35.890 --> 00:38.430
space and missile community . We find

00:38.430 --> 00:40.597
people that are strong in a particular

00:40.597 --> 00:42.708
field and then they'll learn computer

00:42.708 --> 00:45.041
aided design , computer aided machining ,

00:45.041 --> 00:48.990
how to operate CNC machinery , welding ,

00:48.990 --> 00:52.750
wood crafting , laser engraving , you

00:52.750 --> 00:54.861
name it , it's a whole gamut . It's a

00:54.861 --> 00:56.806
long process to learn that stuff ,

00:56.806 --> 00:58.972
contracting can be very expensive . We

00:58.972 --> 01:01.210
provide flexibility , continuity

01:01.220 --> 01:03.650
expertise and we work directly with the

01:03.650 --> 01:07.290
customer concept to delivery . We'll

01:07.290 --> 01:09.512
build devices that they can train right

01:09.512 --> 01:11.740
into the classroom , stand right around

01:11.740 --> 01:13.851
it makes it easy for them to see it .

01:13.851 --> 01:16.018
Everyone can touch and feel it without

01:16.018 --> 01:17.962
worrying about damaging anything .

01:20.580 --> 01:22.691
So the visual aids that we use in the

01:22.691 --> 01:24.913
classroom provided by T deck range from

01:24.913 --> 01:27.590
cutouts , blueprints . We have scaled

01:27.590 --> 01:30.200
models such as the Minuteman three

01:30.200 --> 01:32.422
right here , right next to me . You saw

01:32.422 --> 01:34.200
the launch facility one and the

01:34.200 --> 01:36.311
deployment module that we have in our

01:36.311 --> 01:39.210
bay . You stand on the board and you

01:39.210 --> 01:41.099
lean over this missile and you're

01:41.099 --> 01:43.266
literally working in here with tools ,

01:43.266 --> 01:45.488
you take this cover off and you install

01:45.488 --> 01:47.970
that permutation club that capsule

01:47.970 --> 01:50.130
members see , hey , we gotta launch ,

01:50.140 --> 01:52.251
they punch in their codes , they turn

01:52.251 --> 01:55.850
keys . This thing starts firing . It

01:55.850 --> 01:58.100
gives students that ability to go a

01:58.100 --> 02:00.156
little bit more in depth . Sometimes

02:00.156 --> 02:03.720
it's important for them to be able to

02:03.720 --> 02:06.410
take one piece of the puzzle one x one

02:06.410 --> 02:08.243
in order to see the whole entire

02:08.243 --> 02:11.530
picture . That is what a student will

02:11.530 --> 02:13.570
see at a launch facility .

02:15.890 --> 02:17.840
We have a trainer development

02:17.840 --> 02:19.951
conferences from time to time , and a

02:19.951 --> 02:22.260
lot of other shops like ours try to

02:22.260 --> 02:25.930
benchmark of how we operate . We are

02:25.940 --> 02:27.440
masters of what we do .
