00:00:01,435 --> 00:00:03,260
- [Narrator] The United
States Air Force has ability

2
00:00:03,260 --> 00:00:04,730
to fly, fight, and win,

3
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:07,800
and future conflicts
comes down to training.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,900
Luke Air Force Base trains more
fighter pilots for the U.S.

5
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:13,710
and allied air operations
than any other air base

6
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:15,110
in the world.

7
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:18,040
At Luke Air Force Base,
the 56th Fighter Wing's job

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,340
is to make sure that every
hour our students spend flying,

9
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:23,210
results in them being that much closer

10
00:00:23,210 --> 00:00:24,360
to being ready for war.

11
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,980
Our training is successful
because we work constantly

12
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:30,560
to replicate an environment
as close as possible

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,950
to real world mission situations.

14
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:34,860
We execute our best tactics in the air,

15
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:37,720
then come back and spend hours debriefing.

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,130
We review the game tape
to see what happened,

17
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:43,620
what mistakes were made, and
how we can do better next time.

18
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:46,230
This is where the core of our
learning experience happens,

19
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:49,400
in the debrief after the flying is done.

20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,180
The current debrief methods force us

21
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:54,000
to translate the three-dimensional
flying environment

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,400
into a two-dimensional medium,
whether it's a whiteboard,

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,660
computer screen, or laminated map.

24
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:04,020
We've invested heavily in
new tools and capabilities

25
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:06,510
to execute tomorrow's missions in the air.

26
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:08,630
But when it comes to tools used to analyze

27
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:11,130
and learn from these
missions, we have not kept up

28
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:13,070
with the same pace of innovation.

29
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:14,653
It's time for that to change.

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,530
In partnership with

31
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:19,670
Arizona State University's Luminosity Lab,

32
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:22,020
we have developed Next Gen Debrief,

33
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:24,220
a concept that brings cutting edge tools

34
00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:27,220
to the important work that
happens after the flying is done.

35
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:31,220
Next Gen Debrief uses augmented reality

36
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:32,920
to project a three-dimensional scene

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,150
inside the debriefing
room, allowing pilots

38
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:37,740
to view scenarios from any angle.

39
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:40,310
Utilizing the same data
that is already collected

40
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:42,330
by aircraft instrumentation,

41
00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:44,090
we can give mission participants

42
00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:46,340
a radically new perspective.

43
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,830
The scene can be shared
between multiple participants

44
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:52,890
in the same room, or even across
multiple locations or bases

45
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,220
for a distributed debrief.

46
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:58,340
Next Gen Debrief changes
the game for our training,

47
00:01:58,340 --> 00:02:01,010
but the possibilities for
this innovative environment

48
00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:02,760
does not stop here.

49
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,300
The same augmented reality
technology being used

50
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,830
for Next Gen Debrief could transform

51
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:09,710
and accelerate how we plan for it

52
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:12,263
and even how we execute
Air Force missions.

53
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:17,320
Flying time and advanced combat
aircraft is very expensive.

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Next Gen Debrief is an
important step we can take today

55
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,120
to make sure that we get the most

56
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,223
out of every hour spent in the air.
