1
00:00:02,109 --> 00:00:05,909
This is a proof of concept . So there's 

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,010
a new capability we are employing on 

3
00:00:08,020 --> 00:00:10,242
the MQ nine called satellite launch and 

4
00:00:10,242 --> 00:00:12,909
recovery . And it allows our air crews 

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,850
to fly the aircraft anywhere in the 

6
00:00:15,859 --> 00:00:18,440
world and land and take off anywhere in 

7
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:21,440
the world . Whereas before we were tied 

8
00:00:21,450 --> 00:00:23,879
to specific airfields with large 

9
00:00:23,969 --> 00:00:26,680
maintenance footprints , this allows us 

10
00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:30,270
to be much more agile and serve 

11
00:00:30,569 --> 00:00:32,513
the national defense strategy with 

12
00:00:32,513 --> 00:00:33,847
agile combat employment 

13
00:00:38,529 --> 00:00:41,509
FM nine S every day shift work . I work 

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,209
overnight on holidays 24 7 and we're 

15
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:46,759
unique . We fly our aircraft eight 

16
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:48,992
hours at a time and never really get to 

17
00:00:48,992 --> 00:00:51,103
see our aircraft , which is different 

18
00:00:51,103 --> 00:00:53,326
than every other manned aircraft in the 

19
00:00:53,326 --> 00:00:55,529
fleet , the air force trains and works 

20
00:00:55,540 --> 00:00:57,484
on the new capabilities that we're 

21
00:00:57,484 --> 00:00:59,707
constantly coming up with and trying to 

22
00:00:59,707 --> 00:01:01,651
perfect . It shows that what we're 

23
00:01:01,651 --> 00:01:03,762
doing is working and so to be able to 

24
00:01:03,762 --> 00:01:05,984
watch the progression of these launches 

25
00:01:05,984 --> 00:01:08,040
and recoveries of the last two years 

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,096
and to finally see it being executed 

27
00:01:10,096 --> 00:01:11,010
and showcased is pretty special .
