1 00:00:00,529 --> 00:00:03,119 The Altomain Electromagnetic Radio 2 00:00:03,119 --> 00:00:06,159 operator Trainer or ROT is a training 3 00:00:06,159 --> 00:00:08,048 tool designed to allow marines to 4 00:00:08,048 --> 00:00:09,840 visualize their electromagnetic 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,689 spectrum signature in real time . So 6 00:00:12,689 --> 00:00:15,050 this is very important because from the 7 00:00:15,050 --> 00:00:19,010 lowest PFC radio operator to battalion 8 00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:21,121 commander , Marines need to know what 9 00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,288 their signature looks like in a future 10 00:00:23,288 --> 00:00:25,066 conflict , whenever Marines are 11 00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:27,232 emitting , if they're not within their 12 00:00:27,232 --> 00:00:29,399 mission control levels or within their 13 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:28,850 pace plan , the adversary will be able 14 00:00:28,850 --> 00:00:31,072 to sense and make sense of their signal 15 00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:34,459 and Uh , send small UAS or any other 16 00:00:34,459 --> 00:00:36,570 kind of , uh , killing asset and take 17 00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,459 out not just the marine , but the 18 00:00:38,459 --> 00:00:40,181 entire unit . The ROT provides 19 00:00:40,181 --> 00:00:42,348 instantaneous feedback of a generic EW 20 00:00:42,348 --> 00:00:44,681 capability . And so Marines can operate , 21 00:00:44,681 --> 00:00:46,903 uh , within their income levels and see 22 00:00:46,903 --> 00:00:49,126 exactly what their signature looks like 23 00:00:49,126 --> 00:00:51,237 on the battlefield . So , we create a 24 00:00:51,237 --> 00:00:53,403 heat map , uh , we generate that , and 25 00:00:53,403 --> 00:00:55,626 then we send it back to either exercise 26 00:00:55,626 --> 00:00:55,090 control or the marine instantly , uh , 27 00:00:55,209 --> 00:00:57,431 kind of akin to a steel target . You're 28 00:00:57,431 --> 00:00:59,653 getting an instant after action , which 29 00:00:59,653 --> 00:01:01,876 trains the marine on what his signature 30 00:01:01,876 --> 00:01:03,931 looks like . Developed by the Marine 31 00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:06,098 Corps software factory with input from 32 00:01:06,098 --> 00:01:07,876 MacTissa , ROT began as a naval 33 00:01:07,876 --> 00:01:09,931 postgraduate thesis for Marine Corps 34 00:01:09,931 --> 00:01:11,987 Major Will O Bleck and Captain Niles 35 00:01:11,987 --> 00:01:14,209 Moffatt . It identified a technological 36 00:01:14,209 --> 00:01:16,150 solution that detects the radio 37 00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:18,317 frequency produced by Marines training 38 00:01:18,317 --> 00:01:20,930 in the field and uses simulated enemy 39 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:23,269 electronic warfare assets to show 40 00:01:23,269 --> 00:01:25,589 Marines their electromagnetic spectrum 41 00:01:25,589 --> 00:01:28,599 use . The ART product is built off of 42 00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,821 three components , the ART device , the 43 00:01:30,821 --> 00:01:32,919 command view , and the ATA client . 44 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,249 Those clients act as an immediate 45 00:01:35,249 --> 00:01:37,360 real-time after action report for the 46 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,559 users that show all the signals used 47 00:01:39,559 --> 00:01:41,670 within that exercise . Our users will 48 00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:44,239 then place synthetic enemy receivers 49 00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:46,510 which act as receivers but are 50 00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:48,732 stimulated . What this will do is we'll 51 00:01:48,732 --> 00:01:50,788 run our actual Longley rice analysis 52 00:01:50,788 --> 00:01:52,566 and take into account the enemy 53 00:01:52,566 --> 00:01:54,121 positions . It'll give us a 54 00:01:54,121 --> 00:01:56,232 deterministic prediction of . Whether 55 00:01:56,232 --> 00:01:58,288 or not the enemy could have seen the 56 00:01:58,288 --> 00:02:00,415 propagated signal from our friendly 57 00:02:00,415 --> 00:02:02,637 transmitters . This is powerful because 58 00:02:02,637 --> 00:02:04,859 we could set the different power levels 59 00:02:04,859 --> 00:02:06,971 and say at what power level the enemy 60 00:02:06,971 --> 00:02:09,082 could have seen you . So that way the 61 00:02:09,082 --> 00:02:11,304 Marines understand how to control their 62 00:02:11,304 --> 00:02:13,304 own emissions . Within 9 months , a 63 00:02:13,304 --> 00:02:15,526 prototype has been developed , tested , 64 00:02:15,526 --> 00:02:17,471 and deployed to the first LAR with 65 00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:19,582 transition partners at Victissa , who 66 00:02:19,582 --> 00:02:21,804 will work global integration with their 67 00:02:21,804 --> 00:02:23,693 embedded electromagnetic spectrum 68 00:02:23,693 --> 00:02:25,915 operations teams . The goal of the MMSO 69 00:02:25,915 --> 00:02:28,690 team is to provide unit leaders with a 70 00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:30,889 site picture of their electromagnetic 71 00:02:30,889 --> 00:02:33,289 signature signatures that way they can 72 00:02:33,289 --> 00:02:35,970 make form battlefield decisions . 73 00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:39,649 Overall , the ROT project introduces a 74 00:02:39,649 --> 00:02:42,250 model of collaboration between Matissa 75 00:02:42,250 --> 00:02:45,070 and the software factory . And it also 76 00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:48,229 represents our contributions to Marine 77 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:50,690 Corps's efforts with Project Dynamis 78 00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:53,949 and the combined joint all domain 79 00:02:53,949 --> 00:02:56,860 command and control solution . Over the 80 00:02:56,860 --> 00:02:59,082 last year , we've been working with the 81 00:02:59,082 --> 00:03:01,082 Marine Corps software factory , the 82 00:03:01,082 --> 00:03:02,860 Naval Postgraduate School , and 83 00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:05,949 MacTissa to build the AOT . We're 84 00:03:05,949 --> 00:03:07,838 months away from having our first 85 00:03:07,838 --> 00:03:09,893 minimum viable product that we'll be 86 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:11,560 able to deploy to the fleet . 87 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,616 Organizations like MacTissa have the 88 00:03:13,616 --> 00:03:15,560 subject matter expertise to , to . 89 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,671 Provide the level of fidelity that we 90 00:03:17,671 --> 00:03:19,727 need to make an application like the 91 00:03:19,727 --> 00:03:21,949 AOT , which is actually relevant to the 92 00:03:21,949 --> 00:03:21,505 fleet . We need Marines to respect 93 00:03:21,505 --> 00:03:23,505 their communication equipment , the 94 00:03:23,505 --> 00:03:25,505 same level of respect they have for 95 00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:27,672 their rifles . The AOT is designed and 96 00:03:27,672 --> 00:03:30,664 tailor-made to provide that insight to 97 00:03:30,664 --> 00:03:32,775 small units across the Marine Corps . 98 00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:35,309 Using commercial off the shelf 99 00:03:35,309 --> 00:03:37,420 technology , ROT will fill a critical 100 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:39,476 gap in the future training of Marine 101 00:03:39,476 --> 00:03:42,250 Corps units . The AOT is built by 102 00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:43,550 Marines for Marines .
