1 00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:03,509 A hackathon is a software intensive 2 00:00:03,519 --> 00:00:06,480 event . That's time boxed . You often 3 00:00:06,489 --> 00:00:08,699 self form with the team and you go 4 00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:11,000 after a specific problem and the idea 5 00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:13,319 is to get to a prototype by the end of 6 00:00:13,329 --> 00:00:16,659 that time boxed period , we're here , 7 00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:19,190 there's a lot less rules and allow us 8 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,520 to unleash our creative freedom and 9 00:00:21,530 --> 00:00:23,697 develop solutions much quicker than we 10 00:00:23,697 --> 00:00:25,752 normally would be able to . So there 11 00:00:25,752 --> 00:00:27,974 are all kinds of smes from all kinds of 12 00:00:27,974 --> 00:00:29,641 different areas of dod of the 13 00:00:29,641 --> 00:00:31,808 government , just an industry and they 14 00:00:31,808 --> 00:00:34,086 bring all of that expertise right here . 15 00:00:34,086 --> 00:00:36,197 So you have a lot of people that show 16 00:00:36,197 --> 00:00:38,308 up that just want to join a team that 17 00:00:38,308 --> 00:00:40,308 want to help that like the use case 18 00:00:40,308 --> 00:00:40,247 that teams are working on . So we've 19 00:00:40,256 --> 00:00:42,367 been able to pull in talent just from 20 00:00:42,367 --> 00:00:44,367 people off the street . Essentially 21 00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:46,478 that didn't come with teams , the Air 22 00:00:46,478 --> 00:00:48,700 Corps as a use case . That's real world 23 00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:50,645 that they needed . Some additional 24 00:00:50,645 --> 00:00:52,916 expertise on their command is very 25 00:00:52,926 --> 00:00:54,704 interested and innovative . The 26 00:00:54,704 --> 00:00:56,815 partnership between 75th Innovation , 27 00:00:56,815 --> 00:00:58,759 Command and 18th Airborne Corps is 28 00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:00,648 absolutely crucial In attaining a 29 00:01:00,648 --> 00:01:03,313 concept that we call the factory floor . 30 00:01:03,554 --> 00:01:05,276 The true partnership is try to 31 00:01:05,276 --> 00:01:07,498 understand how can we surge that unique 32 00:01:07,498 --> 00:01:09,610 talent that 75th innovation , command 33 00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:11,665 and units like it bring to the fight 34 00:01:11,665 --> 00:01:11,664 they serve with industry . So they 35 00:01:11,674 --> 00:01:14,043 bring a large pool of talent that we 36 00:01:14,054 --> 00:01:16,863 otherwise wouldn't have . 75th is very 37 00:01:16,874 --> 00:01:19,874 unique in the way that we have not only 38 00:01:19,884 --> 00:01:21,995 a lot of robust military experience . 39 00:01:21,995 --> 00:01:24,106 So we have people that have served in 40 00:01:24,106 --> 00:01:25,828 special operations , different 41 00:01:25,828 --> 00:01:25,653 different areas of the military . But 42 00:01:25,664 --> 00:01:27,775 then we bring that civilian expertise 43 00:01:27,775 --> 00:01:29,886 to the table that an active component 44 00:01:29,886 --> 00:01:32,108 most likely won't have individuals with 45 00:01:32,108 --> 00:01:34,164 advanced degrees that have worked at 46 00:01:34,164 --> 00:01:36,761 leading edge companies in tech A I . 47 00:01:36,771 --> 00:01:40,070 This is allowing us to concentrate our 48 00:01:40,081 --> 00:01:42,341 force and surge towards 49 00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:46,081 solving the problem that we are working 50 00:01:46,091 --> 00:01:47,924 on . For the team . We are going 51 00:01:47,924 --> 00:01:50,180 through a full artificial intelligence 52 00:01:50,191 --> 00:01:53,331 project from the very beginning and to 53 00:01:53,341 --> 00:01:55,820 the very end in the space of a couple 54 00:01:55,831 --> 00:01:57,998 of days , some of the challenges we've 55 00:01:57,998 --> 00:02:00,389 been facing in this hackathon deal with 56 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:02,556 the multiple environments that we're 57 00:02:02,556 --> 00:02:04,444 having to work across , trying to 58 00:02:04,444 --> 00:02:06,500 develop imputable patterns that will 59 00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:06,400 work in one environment . We'll make 60 00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:08,132 sure it will work in the other 61 00:02:08,132 --> 00:02:10,021 environment and being able to get 62 00:02:10,021 --> 00:02:12,132 everybody on the same page aware that 63 00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,077 they're going to be using the same 64 00:02:14,077 --> 00:02:17,250 tools with this mission . That can be a 65 00:02:17,259 --> 00:02:19,315 challenge , but we actually overcame 66 00:02:19,315 --> 00:02:21,481 that one very well . And this has been 67 00:02:21,481 --> 00:02:23,648 a good success If we bring in the smes 68 00:02:23,854 --> 00:02:27,395 from the 18 and have them sitting next 69 00:02:27,404 --> 00:02:31,175 to us . We're going to rock it . And so 70 00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:33,505 we're just appreciative of the army for 71 00:02:33,514 --> 00:02:35,458 taking this project , Army Futures 72 00:02:35,458 --> 00:02:37,570 command as well . Taking this project 73 00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:39,570 seriously enough to send some folks 74 00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:41,792 send a used case and try , try to build 75 00:02:41,792 --> 00:02:43,903 something and I'm optimistic for what 76 00:02:43,903 --> 00:02:45,958 you guys have built . If anybody out 77 00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:48,070 there wants to have the 7050 involved 78 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:50,236 in anything in the future , just reach 79 00:02:50,236 --> 00:02:49,529 out .
