00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,880
Battle management teams got a boost 

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,769
toward faster and better decision 

4
00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:14,880
making after an experiment to develop 

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,047
software that aids command and control 

6
00:00:17,047 --> 00:00:19,102
capabilities . The experiment called 

7
00:00:19,102 --> 00:00:18,879
Decision Advantage Sprint for 

8
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:20,768
human-machine teaming , or DASH , 

9
00:00:20,768 --> 00:00:22,490
showed how machine support can 

10
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:24,601
dramatically reduce decision time and 

11
00:00:24,601 --> 00:00:26,823
improve decision quality for air battle 

12
00:00:26,823 --> 00:00:29,046
managers working in complex operational 

13
00:00:29,046 --> 00:00:31,212
environments . Warfighters worked with 

14
00:00:31,212 --> 00:00:33,268
developers on real world prototyping 

15
00:00:33,268 --> 00:00:35,323
for software built around the actual 

16
00:00:35,323 --> 00:00:34,799
decisions they make under pressure . 

17
00:00:35,259 --> 00:00:37,426
The result was a sevenfold decrease in 

18
00:00:37,426 --> 00:00:39,759
the team's average decision-making time . 

19
00:00:39,790 --> 00:00:41,957
The team says the experiment validated 

20
00:00:41,957 --> 00:00:44,179
a repeatable , scalable methodology and 

21
00:00:44,179 --> 00:00:46,068
will help to evolve human-machine 

22
00:00:46,068 --> 00:00:48,139
teaming . A groundbreaking research 

23
00:00:48,139 --> 00:00:50,083
collaboration between the US Space 

24
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:51,861
Force and industry and academic 

25
00:00:51,861 --> 00:00:53,639
partners is revolutionizing the 

26
00:00:53,639 --> 00:00:55,750
understanding of launch acoustics and 

27
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,806
sonic booms of rocket launches . The 

28
00:00:57,806 --> 00:00:59,695
collaborative Sonic Boom study at 

29
00:00:59,695 --> 00:00:59,419
Vandenberg Space Force Base has 

30
00:00:59,419 --> 00:01:01,363
monitored 11 launches to date with 

31
00:01:01,363 --> 00:01:03,475
plans to track more throughout 2025 . 

32
00:01:03,735 --> 00:01:06,035
The study employs a network of about 25 

33
00:01:06,035 --> 00:01:08,235
monitoring stations spread across 500 

34
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:10,291
square miles of California's Central 

35
00:01:10,291 --> 00:01:12,324
Coast . Vandenberg also hosts an 

36
00:01:12,324 --> 00:01:14,546
interagency environmental working group 

37
00:01:14,546 --> 00:01:16,491
that shares information related to 

38
00:01:16,491 --> 00:01:18,546
coastal resource impacts , including 

39
00:01:18,546 --> 00:01:20,880
the Sonic Boom study's current findings . 

40
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,935
The Global Aircrew strategic Network 

41
00:01:22,935 --> 00:01:24,768
Terminal system received a major 

42
00:01:24,768 --> 00:01:26,713
upgrade to its command and control 

43
00:01:26,713 --> 00:01:28,602
terminals that will significantly 

44
00:01:28,602 --> 00:01:30,657
improve operational capabilities and 

45
00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:32,880
transform aircrew alerting procedures . 

46
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,935
These terminals enhance war fighting 

47
00:01:34,935 --> 00:01:34,839
ability by providing a more survivable 

48
00:01:34,839 --> 00:01:36,950
and strategic communication network . 

49
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,302
The 90-second communication squadron at 

50
00:01:39,302 --> 00:01:41,524
Fairchild Air Force Base volunteered as 

51
00:01:41,524 --> 00:01:43,747
the pilot unit for this system and took 

52
00:01:43,747 --> 00:01:45,969
the initiative to establish a framework 

53
00:01:45,969 --> 00:01:48,024
where none previously existed . This 

54
00:01:48,024 --> 00:01:49,858
resulted in increased efficiency 

55
00:01:49,858 --> 00:01:49,599
through reduced setup times and a more 

56
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,599
streamlined process , significantly 

57
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,599
improving the usability and systems 

58
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,599
appeal to other units . That's your 

59
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,766
look around the Air Force . I'm Senior
