they have an operational goal. don't have a lot of rules and restrictions on how they will reach that goal. or as always just by gadgets. the f-35, meaning, is one of the best examples here. we spent years and decades really, lien's of dollars developing the most expensive aircraft in world history to fight china and it cannot reach china. we are wasting a lot of money. what is the point of buying one super expensive piece of hardware to address a problem if it takes years to get it out to the field? the troops are saying hey, our house is on fire and we have a system that we wires state two-year system of approval at a minimum to allow them to purchase a host. that is why it is so important. we need to buy for the needs of today and not 10 years ago. we believe that the sco can be important here. we look forward to working with them as we develop this pilot and hopefully get to test it by getting it approved. >> can i jump in on this one point? i think along with what he is talking about in terms of a pilot, havin

operations, do we have another comment? we have 30 listeners and six callers ready to make their comment. if you're wanting to make public comment, now is a good time to press star, three to enter the queue, otherwise, we may take this group to the end. welcome, caller. [speaking cantonese language] >> hello, board of supervisors. i want to mention something here. there's many callers mention before talking about the minority who helped a lot of business at 5 leland, and actually, there's a lot of business maybe just two blocks away that are abject poverty. this is also the blacks and chinese, as well. and i think the black and chinese business owners, they should receive equal treatment. also, they mentioned that this is minority, also, [inaudible] may occupy the biggest amount, but that's not true. and actually, the m.c.d. owners didn't change at all. they actually are telling lies, so i hope my concerns can raise your attention, and thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments and for your interpretation, and the spe

on those who were operating these drones. and one of the things as often happens with technology, the technology gets out there and then we kind of study the consequences of it later and in this case there was a sense that well, these operators are shielded from all of these kind of psychological impacts of war. infantry at a much harder time with it because there much closer proximity but i think what you do a really effective job of doing is showing just kind of that this isn't, i don't think you're trying to compare and say that these operators is as as an infantry person. but just say look, this isn't antiseptic for them. they are experiencing these costs in ways that i think words known when this technology started being employed. and you do a lot of good interviews and i wonder if you could talk about some of the kind of sentiment that you've collected as part of these interviews and how you did your interviews. >> absolutely. i think initially when we started employing drones in this matter, the sentiment was there's n

first, before we lose that on the operational challenges, how does it play out in the operational challenges? and especially given that the services which have the weapon systems and maintained them and operate them, how do they balance the relationships with program acquisition and the people responsible for the operations? >> that is an excellent point. it really starts with what i described in the earlier question. at the same time we realized whether it's between domains or services to look more holistically that helps address someoo of the challenges from opportunities if you will to really bring a solution to their and not become enamored in a particular system right off the bat and i think that too often is what we have within our system today. we become very platform focused instead of looking at the interoperability work that is a key thing and that extends to our partners and allies as well so not just in the department. the other thing i would like to highlight on in the discussion is we tend to focus so often on the technology itself and obviously it is a technical organization a

practice on weekends through the entire operation. we sequence the operation.operations have failed, so we need to make sure that this is going to be a success. >> keep in mind that we have to amp at a time an arm on joe which was somewhat functioning, not perfect, and then put on a new arm. so that's high risk. >> you literally have three separate teams operating. >> right. >> sean: one on each hand and one on his face simultaneously. >> simultaneously. we go to the simulation lab, then to the operating room and practice all this. >> sean: you find out you might have the practice match, you actually get on an airplane and fly down. here you're talking to a family that just lost a loved one and you're asking them, you know, would they consider this. and they were. >> uh-huh. >> sean: how did that go? >> these families are remarkable, sean. you would be surprised. you know, to ask someone in the most difficult time of their life, they've lost their loved one, their son or daughter, ask them we'd like them to donate their face or their hands. >> sean: to save som

take us inside the joint operations center at that moment. >> well, the joint operations center -- we refer to it as the joc -- was probably about 100 people that are sitting in a room with a lot of computers. again, this was 2003, so the technology wasn't quite as sopsticated as it is today. we actually didn't have a drone. we had a helicopter with an optical ball on it that was providing our isr, our video coverage, if you will. and so when i got the call from the squadron commander and he said, "we have jackpot," you're always, as the guy sitting in the rear, you're thinking, "okay, this is good news." but at the end of the day, you have to confirm the jackpot. we have had a lot of times in the course of the last 20 years where we thought we had the rightndividual and then we get them back and, you know, we look at everything from their fingerprints to their dna and we find out it's the wrong guy. now, in the case of saddam hussein, it was pretty obvious. he has unique facial characteristics. and even with that giant beard he had, it didn't take long for us to realize that we had t

this is a massive paramilitary operation. so the idea that the cia is going to run this operation to kick out a very popular president was laughable at this point. let's go to the next red bullet point here. failure to competently collect and analyze intelligence about cuban forces. that's a problem. that's the basics. peter can tell you, that's probably plan number one you should be doing if you are thinking about an invasion of a. they just didn't take the time to do it. it has a lot to do with the presidential transition. and more to do with the fact the cia just didn't know anything about what was happening inside cuba. insufficient spanish speakers. i don't remember one of those guerrilla operations in cuba 101 kind of things that you should know. and then lack of contingency plans. this is an issue where when the plan went bad, which it did in the very beginning. the "uss houston" was a ship barbouroed from the u.s. navy. it was carrying the am mission and explosives. it was blown up before they got to the grounds. as i

so this should make the operation more intuitive. the use of a surgical robot to become much more important in japan because the aging society is coming and the rate of towns become increasing in japan. so these are mainly for account for cancer treatment, who's many other countries are also turning to robots to help in the medical and care sectors. future physicians will have to train intensively to use these new technology, the robot. how will also benefit not only for the patient, but also the vision for the patient. hospital stay would have become shorter or recovery become faster. also for the doctor. they can do the surgery by sitting in the chair. so how did you, if, can be minimized by using the robot? surgeons probably won't be replaced anytime soon. but with the right mobile communications, doctors could soon be performing tele surgery across long distance. this may be beneficial for people living in remote area without access to medical care whether the assisting surgery or doing chores at home robots are supposed to help

the hsi undercover operation was initiated to investigate the unlawful use to support terrorism. the result of the investigation hsi seized 60 wallets worth $80 million. in another case, hsi initiated another cyber undercover operation that resulted in the seizure of 150 crypto currency accounts worth $2 million into taking over a hamas website. hsi operated the site embedding the undercover wallet and e-mailed the track funds and communications. the as a results of these cases and ohs illustrates how law enforcement can disrupt terrorist groups through the use of hsi authorities. technical aptitude and the ability to use private sector as a force multiplier to dismantle the control structure of these criminal organizations. in closing, i appreciate your interest in this rapidly growing field. thank you again for the opportunity to be before you today. and your continued support of homeland security investigations. >> thank you for your testimony. pursuant to today's order, the subcommittee stands in recess subject to the kl of the chair. we will be back shortly. i'll flag we hav

safety is critical to all operators. when navigating through debris fields, operators [indiscernible] operational satellites will change substantially in five years. to accommodate this growth, current regulations require review and revision. the six most important issues are timeliness number one. deployments have increased dramatically with over 1200 satellites launched in 2020. operators rely on ssa to characterize the environment and anticipate collision. more advanced services are needed to support future operations and establish safety and sustainability. there is need for information sharing, transparency and coordination among satellite operators as well as u.s. and foreign administrations. given the safety aspect inherent in ssa, government-backed services are critical. number two, orbital accuracies. today's free ssa services feature accuracies to support flight safety provisions and some global regimes will far short eerie accuracy is suitable depends on operator selected collision avoidance thresholds, tracki

there is a search operation _ scale of the rescue operation.cale of the rescue operation. there is a search operation out right - scale of the rescue operation. ti” is a search operation out right now, right beside this building. there is a centre where all of the emergency services are gathered. there are about 3—400 emergency service vehicles out there, hundreds of ambulances from different organisations. army vehicles as well. they are being deployed constantly, looking for people. i talk to some of those rescue workers last night and they were telling me that the difficulty is that the longer this goes on, rather than looking for people to rescue, they are looking for bodies. that is the tragic reality. time is of the essence, and the difficulty is that we have no idea how many people might still be out there because a lot of the roads are impassable, you can't get through them, they have collapsed, and a lot of the bridges have gone as well. so it is a difficult situation for those rescue workers who are looking for people still out there.

imagine going into the operating theater. day in and day out wanting to save someone's life and you keep getting the same results. so it was a hard pill to swallow for the older surgeons certainly that they were inadvertently killing their patients, but i want you to read the butchering art. i want you to figure out how we navigate that world. there's no better way for me to illustrate though the transformation that did actually happen. this is the cover that you will see if you buy the book tonight, which i hope you do. um, this this is a very famous painting from the 19th century by a man named thomas eakins eakins. this is called the gross clinic not because it's gross, although there is an element of that but the man in the middle is samuel gross. he was an american surgeon and he's so didn't believe in germs. he's so didn't believe lister that he would walk into the operating theater. he would slam the door and he would say there mr. lister's germs can't get in anymore and you definitely see that plane out in this image.

-uk joint operation or allied operation and they are watching -- they see the suicide bomber put on his vest and some of this -- the reason why i think that people ask me this don't always know how much is real and how much isn't, but there's this opening vignette and kind of nano drone flies in the window to conduct video surveillance. they see this guy put on his surveillance -- his suicide vest just to kind of eliminate the question is he a bad guy, we all see that he's a bad guy. and then what you were describing, tracks this guy for weeks and then there's this point in the movie where they have a clear target that this guy is unassisted, he's by himself and the kind of wrinkle in this is that at the last minute this cute little girl who is selling bread goes up within proximity where you know any strike is going to kill her and there's debate between and among the operators of what do we do, like we -- this wasn't part -- they had -- this was part of the scenario someone in the movie had gone to basically pay her for the entire day. go home. but the debates and it brings up the que

nice little deception operation. the bay of pigs was an operation thought up by the eisenhower administration, dumped on the kennedy administration because kennedy was a lieutenant during world war ii and eisenhower was a five-star general. when eisenhower said this a good plan, kennedy didn't put a whole lot of thought into it. that's the nicest thing we can say about kennedy in this case. the cubans in miami don't have nice things to say about kennedy when it comes to bay of pigs. many to this day refuse to vote for a democrat because of what jfk did 50 years ago. that's the nicest -- every one of their statements usually has four letter words that i won't say because c-span is covering it. they're not fans. the most charitable thing we can say is kennedy didn't know what he was getting himself into. the bay of pigs operation was a failure as we know. it doesn't oust castro. many of the members of the brigade were rounded up and captured and in many respects, the bay of pigs actually helped castro to consolidate hi

according to the secretary of defense rescue operations rescue and retrieval operations are under way. we'll see terrible pictures of the crash site. but the government is still hopeful that there will still be more survivors that need be pulled out from the wreckage. at this point, according to also the government's rescue, rescue planes are now well on their way. and those who have been received and taken to the mode or the closest military station hospital in law. those who are believed to be more critical will be taken to the $1.00 to $50.00. now, for those who do not understand this roy, it's actually area that is the most militarized area. in the southern philippines, there are thousands of troops rotated, they're constantly, it may be as small runway, but c $130.00 is constantly land here for supplies and true rotations. iraqi forces say they've disabled 3 bombs intended to blow off electricity, taos outside more. so there have been several attacks on power plants across the rank and recent days. at least 7 people have been killed. madame de la reports from baghdad, a tax on tr

when we are considering limited operations and resources.i think we do that every day. there's a lot of crimes on the but it's a matter of trade-off, making sure we are focusing on strategic approaches going after the individuals that poses a greater danger to integrity of our border, public safety and national security. >> here is my problem with the discussion about priorities. since this administration has come to office, a number of ice arrests have plunged, the trump administration i think arrested over 6000 people, 6000 arrests a month on average the final months of his last presidency, 10000 before the pandemic. so far, according to the washington post, these are public numbers, so far in this administration ice officers have made about 2500 arrests during the biden presidency. that is a dramatic drop in different, it sounds like what being prioritized is not resources, what's prioritized is not arresting criminals or people here illegally. what i would like to get from you is a commitment that you will vigorously enforce our laws on

so this should make the operation more intuitive. believe the use of a surgical robot become much more important in japan because the aging society is coming and the rate over town become increasing in japan. so these are what i mean, the full account, the full council treatments many other countries are also turn into robots to help in the medical and care sectors. future physicians will have to train intensively to use these new technology, the global. how was also a benefit? not only for the patient, but also the vision for the patient. hospital stay would it become shorter or recovery? it becomes faster also for the doctors, they can do the surgery by sitting in the chair. so how did you, if, can be minimized by using the robot? surgeons probably won't be replaced anytime soon. but with the right mobile communications, doctors could soon be performing tele surgery across long distances. this may be beneficial for people living in remote areas without access to medical care whether they're assisting in surgery or doing chores at h

take us inside the joint operations center at that moment. >> well, the joint operations center we refero it as the jock, was about 100 people, that are sitting in a room with a lot of computers, this was 2003, so the technology wasn't quite as sophisticated as it is today. we didn't have a drone, we had a helicopter with an optical ball on and that was providing our video coverage. so, when i got the call from the squadron commander, and he said we have jackpot, you are always, as the guys sitting in the rear your thinking this is good news, but at the end of the day you have to confirm the jackpot. we've had times in the course of the last 20 years where we thought we had the right individual, and then we get them back, and we look at everything from their finger prints to their dna and find out it's the wrong guy. in the case of saddam hussein, it was pretty obvious. he has a unique facial characteristics, and even with that giant beard, it didn't take long for us to realize that we have the right guy. >> saddam hussein became a prisoner when he remained at your camp longer than origi

some of the best operations people. i highly understand the time of that they went through operational rising. many of them ended up working seven days a week. these staff deserve to be recognized that the job that they done. i believe there are things that can be done to understand the depth of stress. and then proceed to craft a better work environment for them. morale is a symptom, the benefit of those types of rewards really wears off quickly. it's more rewarding to provide individuals an opportunity to find an additional research path or, given covid, the way that folks have leared to actually work better at home, provide flexibility in terms of remote work. i would work to avail ourselves of a variety of personnel tools, develop some packages and approacches to find ways to support folks for the long term so they benefit the country as we want them to. >> sheriff gonzalez, ice's law enforcement mission is extremely broad. one critical piece of that is dealing with human trafficking. homeland security investigation
