1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,751 there's testing that we could do here 3 00:00:08,751 --> 00:00:10,973 that can't be done anywhere else in the 4 00:00:10,973 --> 00:00:14,650 world . You take the price difference 5 00:00:14,650 --> 00:00:16,650 from flight test to ground test the 6 00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,761 things that we can perform here waken 7 00:00:18,761 --> 00:00:20,872 cleanup , arrange that they can't get 8 00:00:20,872 --> 00:00:23,900 anywhere else because of our 100 db of 9 00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:25,789 isolation that we can provide our 10 00:00:25,789 --> 00:00:27,900 customers the clarity of the emitters 11 00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:29,900 and just the time it takes . Flight 12 00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:32,011 test is so expensive , so we could do 13 00:00:32,011 --> 00:00:34,122 it for a fraction of the cost here on 14 00:00:34,122 --> 00:00:36,970 the ground right here in E . 15 00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,610 Originally built for the B one in the 16 00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:44,760 late eighties , the Benefield Antique 17 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,200 OIC facility at Edwards Air Force Base 18 00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,280 is the world's largest , an echo 19 00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:52,320 chamber . One of the unique 20 00:00:52,330 --> 00:00:54,690 characteristics of this facility is 21 00:00:54,690 --> 00:00:56,830 it's 80 ft turntable in the center of 22 00:00:56,830 --> 00:01:00,080 the chamber Space way . The original 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,390 set up of the turntable was Rockwell 24 00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:05,170 built . This unit Pierre or this 25 00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:07,450 building rather here for the B one , 26 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,896 and the purpose of the turntable was 27 00:01:09,896 --> 00:01:12,660 just simple rotation . So at that time , 28 00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:14,970 the turntable , as it's configured now , 29 00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:17,920 was perfect for that newer age 30 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,030 aircraft , more GPS tracking than we 31 00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:23,700 used to use now . So now we need to be 32 00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,867 a little more precise , and we need to 33 00:01:25,867 --> 00:01:28,050 have more repeat ability on certain 34 00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:30,610 angles . And , uh , as a turntable sits , 35 00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:32,820 we can't perform that . So we're gonna 36 00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:34,570 upgrade the controls on it . 37 00:01:34,570 --> 00:01:36,681 Essentially , what that's going to do 38 00:01:36,681 --> 00:01:38,848 is it's going to allow us to have more 39 00:01:38,848 --> 00:01:40,848 repeatability on certain angles and 40 00:01:40,848 --> 00:01:42,903 also more precise on the angles that 41 00:01:42,903 --> 00:01:44,959 we're looking for us . Meaning if we 42 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,240 wanted exactly 1 45 we can get it 43 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,770 exactly at 1 45 we're gonna wanna set 44 00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:54,160 to 178 that 45 00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:57,990 0.1 degree per minute per second . 46 00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:01,890 Excuse me , Get your copy 47 00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:04,310 +178 at 48 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,050 0.10 degrees percent 49 00:02:08,470 --> 00:02:12,050 confirmed . That's 14 . And reproaching 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,360 14 federal data and temperature is 51 00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,970 115 locations . Beginning 52 00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:28,350 having a 53 00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:30,870 turntable is really beneficial . Were 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,660 ableto put aircraft or a system onto 55 00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:36,890 the turntable and do a full 3 60 56 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,001 rotation and collect data around it . 57 00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:41,232 We even hoist on aircraft , and then we 58 00:02:41,232 --> 00:02:43,288 can tie it down to the turntable and 59 00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:45,790 rotated so we can see how it's radar 60 00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:48,330 will affect , um , the back side of it 61 00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:50,340 when most people don't normally see 62 00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:52,562 that because you don't have , ah , full 63 00:02:52,562 --> 00:02:54,729 circle of antennas around it . We just 64 00:02:54,729 --> 00:02:56,951 have one point , and then we rotate the 65 00:02:56,951 --> 00:02:59,007 sudden instead , you come inside the 66 00:02:59,007 --> 00:03:01,470 bath to mimic an outdoor range . That's 67 00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:03,248 really hard to do , since we're 68 00:03:03,248 --> 00:03:05,359 enclosed by like a metal box . That's 69 00:03:05,359 --> 00:03:07,248 where all the ram , our radiation 70 00:03:07,248 --> 00:03:09,526 absorbing material , comes into effect . 71 00:03:09,526 --> 00:03:11,692 It could take all of the stuff getting 72 00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:13,850 admitted off of the aircraft for lack 73 00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:15,906 of a better term , soaks it up , and 74 00:03:15,906 --> 00:03:18,128 then when it comes back out , it's at a 75 00:03:18,128 --> 00:03:20,128 lower level , so it just looks like 76 00:03:20,128 --> 00:03:22,239 background noise to the plane . So it 77 00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:21,690 mimics like it's in a flying 78 00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:25,670 environment . Well , 79 00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:28,310 we can't replace flight test completely . 80 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,376 What we can do is we can narrow down 81 00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:32,760 that flight test by providing 82 00:03:32,770 --> 00:03:34,992 continuous eight hour testing where you 83 00:03:34,992 --> 00:03:37,214 only get a now or two in the air . Uh , 84 00:03:37,214 --> 00:03:39,950 we give you real time data post test 85 00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:42,006 data , and that's a lot cheaper than 86 00:03:42,006 --> 00:03:44,172 spending all of those hours in the air 87 00:03:44,172 --> 00:03:45,783 so you could take what would 88 00:03:45,783 --> 00:03:47,894 essentially be a 20 or 30 flight hour 89 00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,980 flight test and condense that into a 90 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:52,046 two hour flight test to just get the 91 00:03:52,046 --> 00:03:53,990 data that's not possible for us to 92 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:56,330 collect it . As air combat has evolved , 93 00:03:56,340 --> 00:03:59,110 Elektronik warfare plays a vital role 94 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,730 in air superiority . Updating this one 95 00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:04,730 of a kind asset will have a lasting 96 00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:06,990 impact on testing at the bath and 97 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:09,960 national defense well into the future .
