in my air force had i organized train and equip air force forces and i present them to myself and my use space command had to be able to execute. i also will have an army and that's called a surface i'm air force space command, i will also have an army component, a navy and marine service component. it's two different functions, different roles but there's a close partnership. >> so then thinking ahead to the future, one of the thinks congress is debating and considering is whether or not to create a space force pickard to talk about half space force would be different? >> absolutely. let me state i'm really eager for congress to pass this ndaa so we can have the space force. in both hats and both functions, the organized train and equip function and the war fighting function, the u.s. is looking to elevate space. to have an entity that is singly focused on the space domain. and so in the war fighting at we did that when we took a component and a used to work for u.s. strategic command and elevate that to its own combatant command. similarly on the organized, train, and equip side to

air force. we put pilots in them. we try to make them so equivalent to flying in the real world, when you're in the simulator we believe you're learning and getting better and that learning transfers from the digital world to the physical world. what we want to do in military aviation is what's already happened in the automotive industry, is to bring digital modeling, digital representations, not just simulating the way something performs, but simulating the way it is designed and assembled. what we want to do is start real world transfer of learning before we've ever made the first article. and so we've watched this happen in the automotive industry where for the longest time it looked very similar to the large companies, had a lockdown on the market, you had to have huge production facilities, huge work forces, very expensive tooling in order to make automobiles unless you're signing a few exotic or expensive cars. companies like tesla have been able to flip the script on this because they can

if there's a future of that air force where there are more unmanned systems than man in the air forcefleet. >> probably, and we just need to say that. i think we're getting more comfortable saying that. that comfort probably comes from a couple different points is that if were going to start thinking about at peter competitor sisley, we can't be air force where everything that takes all needs to come back in land. it's just too hard to imagine with all the technology in the world that you can design a defensible airplane. when i say we need to think sentries series and its things being in flux. i do what the right one airplane is i need to start diversifying options. i definitely think many of the systems will be unmanned. we have started a program called skype or which means we intend to get over the goal line of transition into fielding a we very much hope the platforms like f-15ex and f-35 will be able to be the first trailblazers with how to fly a plane and have team of system support you. it's important we get good at it because the second we create r2-d2 in the sky we will try t

city, we take you to the south dakota air and space museum, and hear about the role of ellsworth air force welcome to the south dakota air and zero. when people think about south dakota, they don't think about a great aviation state. we have a huge aviation heritage. over the years, we have played a huge part in our national defense. ellsworth air force base began in world war ii. its purpose in world war ii was --train a b-17 crew bomber bomber crew. if you want to navigate a world war ii bunker over long distances and expenses of territory, south dakota is a great place to put the base. that was the beginning of ellsworth air force base. the connection from world war ii to the cold war is represented in our museum. the 44th bomb group was trained here at ellsworth air force base. when the cold war came around, that bomb group became the 44th missile wing, which was commended out of ellsworth air force base. that missile wing is part of the cold war narrative. when you think about cold war, you think about the b-52's based here, you think about the response of strategic air command. but y

for the air force. we are looking to elevate space and separated from the air force and have a singularly focused service focused on this domain and the way it was envisioned as was similar to where you have a secretary of the air force that would have both chief of staff and space force and to staff of the air force that would work for the secretary of the air force. just like the navy side of secretary of the navy that has chief of naval operations on that navy side. >> and if so, u.s. space command putting on that hat for a minute, you mentioned in your remarks how it's different at this time. used at u.s. space command and it was a functional command and now it's been reestablished as a geographic command. one of the roles that was a geographic command was that they put together operational plans within their area of response abilities. centcom, operational plans and in the middle east, you calm, and opaque, and is the u.s. space command developing operational plans that are exclusively for the spac

for the air force. what we're looking to do is elevate space separated from the air force and have a singularly focus service on this domain. anyway it is very similar to the navy and marine corps we have a secretary there air force, that would have both the chief of staff of the space course and have a law the chief of staff of the air force. s like a navy site, there's a secretary of the navy that has part of the marine corps and chief of naval operations. so it would be there. >> u.s. space command, putting on the act, you mentioned is different this time. used to have you command that was a functional command. nesbit reestablishes a geographic command. the rules of the geographic commands is that they put together operational plans within their area of responsibilities and centcom will have operational plans for contingencies to buy rights in the middle east and the you, while responsible for you're up and a conference pacific region and so on. his u.s. space command developing operational plans tha

about drones >> your air force is becoming a digital air force. digital transformation. what we're trying to do now is harness data to make decisions faster, artificial intelligence, machine learning, because speed wins. so what you see and when you bring up drones is we are trying to tie every censor like a drone, like a satellite, like a navy ship, like a soldier, tying all of those censors together to make some sense out of that data so that we can bring it to an effect whether an air force effect or navy or army effect. tying censors to shooters 24/7, accelerating our decision advantage. >> admiral howard, you're on the board of ibm for those who don't know. using your military experience, how are you helping that company plan for the future? >> so the navy is a global navy. we get a strong sense of the geopolitical landscape wherever we go. and then ibm is just a different shade of blue and also a global company and needs a strong list of the landscape. there is nothing we can do today talking about how connected we are. there is nothing we c
