WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:05.600 I 00:05.610 --> 00:08.030 quote Solomon often , uh , without a 00:08.030 --> 00:10.086 vision that people will perish . And 00:10.086 --> 00:12.308 it's true if you don't have a vision of 00:12.308 --> 00:14.850 the future , you are going to do 00:14.850 --> 00:16.961 tactical actions , which may not lead 00:16.961 --> 00:19.072 to where you want to be . You have to 00:19.072 --> 00:21.183 actually envision where is it we want 00:21.183 --> 00:23.294 to go . And it's amazing once you get 00:23.294 --> 00:25.460 people thinking about where we can go 00:25.620 --> 00:28.450 and they somewhat by into that vision , 00:28.990 --> 00:30.960 they will start to do things 00:31.340 --> 00:34.580 subconsciously to get there . It's a 00:34.580 --> 00:36.802 really neat situation to be in that . I 00:36.802 --> 00:39.024 have , I've got , I mean , I don't know 00:39.024 --> 00:41.330 most , almost 3000 hours in the f 16 00:41.340 --> 00:43.340 start to finish when I first had my 00:43.340 --> 00:46.250 first flight , uh , as a cadet . Uh , 00:46.260 --> 00:48.371 and there's a matter of fact , it was 00:48.371 --> 00:50.482 probably in one of the same airplanes 00:50.482 --> 00:52.704 that's sitting out here , which is fine 00:52.704 --> 00:52.630 because these airplanes are awesome . 00:52.640 --> 00:54.770 But as you look forward right now , 00:54.780 --> 00:56.947 this is an exciting time because we're 00:56.947 --> 00:59.224 taking all these lessons from the past , 00:59.224 --> 01:01.447 these things . We've done really well . 01:01.447 --> 01:00.880 And you're looking at this new playing 01:00.880 --> 01:02.991 field and you say , how do I adopt to 01:02.991 --> 01:05.158 that ? And we are trying to figure out 01:05.158 --> 01:07.213 the strategy and the tactics and the 01:07.213 --> 01:09.380 operations of how to connect it to all 01:09.380 --> 01:11.547 at the same time . And we don't really 01:11.547 --> 01:13.491 have a clear national engagement . 01:13.491 --> 01:15.380 Strategy of china is emerging for 01:15.380 --> 01:17.740 example , and Russia . So all of these 01:17.740 --> 01:20.560 things are emerging all at once and it 01:20.570 --> 01:22.792 wasn't like that . For example , if you 01:22.792 --> 01:24.792 take from World War Two all the way 01:24.792 --> 01:26.959 through the competition of the Soviets 01:26.959 --> 01:28.792 tactics for example , mechanized 01:28.792 --> 01:30.848 maneuver warfare were relatively the 01:30.848 --> 01:33.070 same as you saw at the end of World War 01:33.070 --> 01:35.126 Two . Right . And they persisted all 01:35.126 --> 01:37.292 the way through the Cold War . But now 01:37.292 --> 01:39.514 we're getting into situations where I'm 01:39.514 --> 01:41.681 maneuvering in domains that I've never 01:41.681 --> 01:43.959 been in before . Space and cyber and E . 01:43.959 --> 01:45.959 M . S and if you take a look at the 01:45.959 --> 01:47.848 totality of the volume of all the 01:47.848 --> 01:49.903 competition space , we have never in 01:49.903 --> 01:51.903 human history have we added so much 01:51.903 --> 01:54.490 volume as right now . So when you add 01:54.490 --> 01:58.060 space and cyber and E . M . S on top of 01:58.070 --> 02:00.292 the sea and the land in the air , it is 02:00.292 --> 02:02.348 almost insurmountable to think about 02:02.348 --> 02:04.514 for all of us who have been trained in 02:04.514 --> 02:06.626 the single domain operations to piece 02:06.626 --> 02:08.514 that together . So it is the most 02:08.514 --> 02:10.459 exciting time in human history for 02:10.459 --> 02:12.681 competition between states because it's 02:12.681 --> 02:14.681 going to happen . But it's also the 02:14.681 --> 02:17.570 most exciting . We have been in a 02:17.570 --> 02:20.740 period of non peer competition for the 02:20.740 --> 02:23.540 last 20 years . So have the F- 35 fits 02:23.540 --> 02:25.484 into this is an incredibly capable 02:25.484 --> 02:28.020 aircraft . You can see a lot , you can 02:28.030 --> 02:30.660 do a lot . The problem will be , how do 02:30.660 --> 02:32.570 you employ the base ? So and that 02:32.570 --> 02:34.792 includes the assets . The fixed base is 02:34.792 --> 02:36.959 gonna be very difficult to employ . So 02:36.959 --> 02:38.959 we have to get back to a little bit 02:38.959 --> 02:41.014 more . How we used to do things with 02:41.014 --> 02:43.126 the Soviets . We have to be able to , 02:43.126 --> 02:45.181 we have to be mobile , we have to be 02:45.181 --> 02:45.070 able to maneuver our logistics , have 02:45.070 --> 02:47.181 to be extremely flexible . We have to 02:47.181 --> 02:49.420 be able to hide deceive to be 02:49.420 --> 02:51.587 underground , for example , or we have 02:51.587 --> 02:53.753 to use all and in our case we're going 02:53.753 --> 02:55.809 to use all domains to help us out to 02:55.809 --> 02:58.150 employ . So how are we going to employ 02:58.150 --> 03:01.430 effectively and beat our adversary that 03:01.430 --> 03:04.190 has this method of fighting . How are 03:04.190 --> 03:06.800 you going to operate underneath a very 03:06.810 --> 03:09.190 dense defensive layer ? How are you 03:09.190 --> 03:11.357 going to get close ? How are you going 03:11.357 --> 03:13.690 to sustain ? How are you going to fight ? 03:13.690 --> 03:15.930 And that will be the challenge for any 03:15.930 --> 03:18.890 fighter asset until we get long range 03:18.890 --> 03:20.890 assets and I'm talking 10 or 20,000 03:20.890 --> 03:22.946 miles something that can go into low 03:22.946 --> 03:25.001 Earth orbit . So as far as a fighter 03:25.001 --> 03:27.168 goes , this is how we're going to have 03:27.168 --> 03:29.334 to do it . It's a little bit of how we 03:29.334 --> 03:31.446 did it with the Soviets , but updated 03:31.446 --> 03:33.612 for multi domain and join all the main 03:33.612 --> 03:32.560 arms .
