00:05.840 --> 00:07.562
I'm Major General Scott Kane ,

00:07.562 --> 00:09.840
commander of the Air Force Test Center .

00:09.840 --> 00:12.173
We stand at a pivotal moment in history ,

00:12.173 --> 00:14.229
one where the pace of innovation and

00:14.229 --> 00:16.229
the character of warfare is rapidly

00:16.229 --> 00:18.340
evolving . To maintain our edge , the

00:18.340 --> 00:20.507
United States Air Force must adapt and

00:20.507 --> 00:22.507
innovate . At AFTC , our mission is

00:22.507 --> 00:25.030
clear to develop , test , and evaluate

00:25.030 --> 00:27.709
airspace and cyberspace systems that

00:27.709 --> 00:30.149
deliver war-winning capabilities . Our

00:30.149 --> 00:32.371
enduring principles of world-class risk

00:32.371 --> 00:34.630
management , adaptive test solutions ,

00:34.750 --> 00:36.417
and a relentless focus on the

00:36.417 --> 00:39.279
warfighter drive everything we do . The

00:39.279 --> 00:41.501
changing threat environment calls for a

00:41.501 --> 00:43.612
more competitive force and ability to

00:43.612 --> 00:45.779
enact urgent change to prevail against

00:45.779 --> 00:47.890
any adversary . Just as we've done in

00:47.890 --> 00:50.057
the past , we must re-optimize to meet

00:50.057 --> 00:52.057
the challenges we now face and will

00:52.057 --> 00:54.900
face in the future . This new era

00:54.900 --> 00:56.956
demands readiness , resilience , and

00:56.956 --> 00:59.011
innovation , and our re-optimization

00:59.011 --> 01:01.560
efforts are doing just that . Our focus

01:01.560 --> 01:03.393
as an Air Force is on generating

01:03.393 --> 01:05.889
readiness , projecting power , driving

01:05.889 --> 01:08.111
integrated capability development , and

01:08.111 --> 01:10.839
developing people . As we tackle these

01:10.839 --> 01:13.819
challenges , AFTC must also transform

01:13.819 --> 01:15.430
our test enterprise to be an

01:15.430 --> 01:17.319
integrating center for capability

01:17.319 --> 01:19.430
development , focused on the high-end

01:19.430 --> 01:21.097
fight and long-term strategic

01:21.097 --> 01:24.290
competition . At the Air Force Test

01:24.290 --> 01:26.529
Center , we don't just test systems ,

01:26.650 --> 01:28.817
we shape the future of the Air Force .

01:28.889 --> 01:31.111
Together we'll ensure America's air and

01:31.111 --> 01:33.111
space forces remain the best in the

01:33.111 --> 01:32.760
world .
