so to start 00:01:03 project tech out at port si so to start 00:01:03 project tech out at port si so to start off just Jim can you give folks a little 00:01:05 off just Jim can you give folks a little 00:01:05 off just Jim can you give folks a little background for yourself and port San 00:01:08 background for yourself and port San 00:01:08 background for yourself and port San Antonio sure port San Antonio as many 00:01:12 Antonio sure port San Antonio as many 00:01:12 Antonio sure port San Antonio as many people in town know is the redevelopment 00:01:13 people in town know is the redevelopment 00:01:13 people in town know is the redevelopment of the old Kelly Air Force Base and we 00:01:16 of the old Kelly Air Force Base and we 00:01:16 of the old Kelly Air Force Base and we do two things there and we think we do 00:01:17 do two things there and we think we do 00:01:17 do two things there and we think we do two things very well 00:01:18 two things very well 00:01:18 two things very well number one we'd still do the old 00:01:20 number one we'd still do the old 00:01:20 number one we'd still do the old aviation work repair some of the biggest 00:01:22 aviation work repair some of the biggest 00:01:22 aviation work repair some of the biggest planes on the planet do some of the 00:01:23 planes on the planet do some of the 00:01:23 planes on the planet do some of the engine work but the real growth market 00:01:27 engine work but the real growth market 00:01:27 engine work but the real growth market is with the cybersecurity and the 00:01:28 is with the cybersecurity and the 00:01:28 is with the cybersecurity and the applied technology yeah so for for those 00:01:31 applied technology yeah so for for those 00:01:31 applied technology yeah so for for those in San Antonio the geography the way I 00:01:34 in San Antonio the geography the way I 00:01:34 in San Antonio the geography the way I keep track of stuff is Lackland is on 00:01:36 keep track of stuff is Lackland is on 00:01:36 keep track of stuff is Lackland is on the left side of town and Randolph is on 00:01:38 the left side of town and Randolph is on 00:01:38 the left side of town and Randolph is on the right side of town so Kelly used to 00:01:40 the right side of town so Kelly used to 00:01:40 the right side of town so Kelly used to be over by Blackland that's right in 00:01:42 be over by Blackland that's right in 00:01:42 be over by Blackland that's right in fact good chunk of Lackland used to be 00:01:44 fact good chunk of Lackland used to be 00:01:44 fact good chunk of Lackland used to be part of Kelly yeah and then over at 00:01:47 part of Kelly yeah and then over at 00:01:47 part of Kelly yeah and then over at Lackland now you've got the the 24th and 00:01:49 Lackland now you've got the the 24th and 00:01:49 Lackland now you've got the the 24th and 25th Air Force which are doing lots of 00:01:52 25th Air Force which are doing lots of 00:01:52 25th Air Force which are doing lots of cyber stuff mm-hmm which that geography 00:01:54 cyber stuff mm-hmm which that geography 00:01:54 cyber stuff mm-hmm which that geography allows you now is a privatized base for 00:01:58 allows you now is a privatized base for 00:01:58 allows you now is a privatized base for redevelopment there for different cyber 00:02:02 redevelopment there for different cyber 00:02:02 redevelopment there for different cyber security companies to locate out there 00:02:03 security companies to locate out there 00:02:03 security companies to locate out there where their customer is at that's 00:02:05 where their customer is at that's 00:02:05 where their customer is at that's exactly right if you're doing military 00:02:06 exactly right if you're doing military 00:02:06 exactly right if you're doing military cyber security if you're working with 00:02:08 cyber security if you're working with 00:02:08 cyber security if you're working with the government you're not going to get 00:02:10 the government you're not going to get 00:02:10 the government you're not going to get any closer to the customer than being on 00:02:11 any closer to the customer than being on 00:02:11 any closer to the customer than being on our property yeah and so this is kind of 00:02:14 our property yeah and so this is kind of 00:02:14 our property yeah and so this is kind of what led to the genesis of project TAC 00:02:16 what led to the genesis of project TAC 00:02:16 what led to the genesis of project TAC out there which is a building that was 00:02:18 out there which is a building that was 00:02:18 out there which is a building that was announced in May here in San Antonio 00:02:20 announced in May here in San Antonio 00:02:20 announced in May here in San Antonio that's right so how did that project 00:02:23 that's right so how did that project 00:02:23 that's right so how did that project come to fruition is this I think the 00:02:26 come to fruition is this I think the 00:02:26 come to fruition is this I think the Base Realignment closure redevelopment 00:02:28 Base Realignment closure redevelopment 00:02:28 Base Realignment closure redevelopment is something that's happening here all 00:02:30 is something that's happening here all 00:02:30 is something that's happening here all across town you've got the what's going 00:02:32 across town you've got the what's going 00:02:32 across town you've got the what's going on a port San Antonio you have Brooks 00:02:33 on a port San Antonio you have Brooks 00:02:33 on a port San Antonio you have Brooks City bass is another one here for so for 00:02:37 City bass is another one here for so for 00:02:37 City bass is another one here for so for those listeners in our audience help 00:02:38 those listeners in our audience help 00:02:38 those listeners in our audience help them learn a little bit more about how 00:02:40 them learn a little bit more about how 00:02:40 them learn a little bit more about how does this whole process work well the 00:02:42 does this whole process work well the 00:02:42 does this whole process work well the the brac process is relatively simple to 00:02:45 the brac process is relatively simple to 00:02:45 the brac process is relatively simple to state but really really complex to do 00:02:47 state but really really complex to do 00:02:47 state but really really complex to do when the government decides that they 00:02:49 when the government decides that they 00:02:49 when the government decides that they have an excess military installation 00:02:51 have an excess military installation 00:02:51 have an excess military installation they turn it over to the local community 00:02:54 they turn it over to the local community 00:02:54 they turn it over to the local community the local community develops what they 00:02:56 the local community develops what they 00:02:56 the local community develops what they call a local Redevelopment Authority to 00:02:58 call a local Redevelopment Authority to 00:02:58 call a local Redevelopment Authority to take title to it and then you figure out 00:03:00 take title to it and then you figure out 00:03:00 take title to it and then you figure out what you're going to do with it 00:03:01 what you're going to do with it 00:03:01 what you're going to do with it most communities around the country that 00:03:03 most communities around the country that 00:03:03 most communities around the country that have taken on an old government 00:03:05 have taken on an old government 00:03:05 have taken on an old government installation have turned it into some 00:03:07 installation have turned it into some 00:03:07 installation have turned it into some private development you look up at 00:03:09 private development you look up at 00:03:09 private development you look up at Mueller and while that's an airport up 00:03:11 Mueller and while that's an airport up 00:03:11 Mueller and while that's an airport up in Austin turned into a shopping center 00:03:14 in Austin turned into a shopping center 00:03:14 in Austin turned into a shopping center and somewhat of an entertainment 00:03:16 and somewhat of an entertainment 00:03:16 and somewhat of an entertainment district and that's what you see with 00:03:17 district and that's what you see with 00:03:17 district and that's what you see with most of these in San Antonio we did 00:03:19 most of these in San Antonio we did 00:03:19 most of these in San Antonio we did something a little bit different we 00:03:20 something a little bit different we 00:03:20 something a little bit different we wanted to see because these were such 00:03:22 wanted to see because these were such 00:03:22 wanted to see because these were such important job generators for the 00:03:24 important job generators for the 00:03:24 important job generators for the community how we could keep those jobs 00:03:26 community how we could keep those jobs 00:03:26 community how we could keep those jobs how we could grow those jobs and we 00:03:28 how we could grow those jobs and we 00:03:28 how we could grow those jobs and we could really keep San Antonio moving 00:03:29 could really keep San Antonio moving 00:03:29 could really keep San Antonio moving forward yeah so if you go out there at 00:03:32 forward yeah so if you go out there at 00:03:32 forward yeah so if you go out there at the the base so you had kind of the 00:03:34 the the base so you had kind of the 00:03:34 the the base so you had kind of the first phase of this and port Santa Toni 00:03:36 first phase of this and port Santa Toni 00:03:36 first phase of this and port Santa Toni has been around as the port for how long 00:03:38 has been around as the port for how long 00:03:38 has been around as the port for how long now as the port a little over 10 12 00:03:42 now as the port a little over 10 12 00:03:42 now as the port a little over 10 12 years the being a privatized base since 00:03:46 years the being a privatized base since 00:03:46 years the being a privatized base since 1998 the base was closed in 2001 but 00:03:49 1998 the base was closed in 2001 but 00:03:49 1998 the base was closed in 2001 but 1998 was the official transfer okay so 00:03:52 1998 was the official transfer okay so 00:03:52 1998 was the official transfer okay so you know over the last 20 years now and 00:03:54 you know over the last 20 years now and 00:03:54 you know over the last 20 years now and so if you're you're driving along out 00:03:56 so if you're you're driving along out 00:03:57 so if you're you're driving along out through that area you see all sorts of 00:03:59 through that area you see all sorts of 00:03:59 through that area you see all sorts of activity doesn't certainly look close 00:04:01 activity doesn't certainly look close 00:04:01 activity doesn't certainly look close you've guys you said the aeronautics a 00:04:03 you've guys you said the aeronautics a 00:04:03 you've guys you said the aeronautics a aviation fills up a good chunk of land 00:04:06 aviation fills up a good chunk of land 00:04:06 aviation fills up a good chunk of land but how much more Landa is out there for 00:04:09 but how much more Landa is out there for 00:04:09 but how much more Landa is out there for growth in the the cyber side of things 00:04:11 growth in the the cyber side of things 00:04:11 growth in the the cyber side of things Oh hundreds of acres we have about 1,900 00:04:15 Oh hundreds of acres we have about 1,900 00:04:15 Oh hundreds of acres we have about 1,900 acres that makes up the entire property 00:04:17 acres that makes up the entire property 00:04:17 acres that makes up the entire property and we have many hundreds of acres that 00:04:20 and we have many hundreds of acres that 00:04:20 and we have many hundreds of acres that are still ready to be developed so yeah 00:04:23 are still ready to be developed so yeah 00:04:23 are still ready to be developed so yeah this is one inside San Antonio lots of 00:04:26 this is one inside San Antonio lots of 00:04:26 this is one inside San Antonio lots of growth opportunities inside our City 00:04:28 growth opportunities inside our City 00:04:28 growth opportunities inside our City Limits still because the base is 00:04:30 Limits still because the base is 00:04:30 Limits still because the base is completely within city limits correct it 00:04:32 completely within city limits correct it 00:04:32 completely within city limits correct it is yeah so all the city services already 00:04:35 is yeah so all the city services already 00:04:35 is yeah so all the city services already there if you want to build grow you can 00:04:38 there if you want to build grow you can 00:04:38 there if you want to build grow you can go do that and then there may be 00:04:40 go do that and then there may be 00:04:40 go do that and then there may be incentives as well to a certain extent 00:04:43 incentives as well to a certain extent 00:04:43 incentives as well to a certain extent for building in a realigned area well 00:04:45 for building in a realigned area well 00:04:45 for building in a realigned area well there are incentives that are available 00:04:47 there are incentives that are available 00:04:47 there are incentives that are available but some of the best incentives number 00:04:48 but some of the best incentives number 00:04:48 but some of the best incentives number one you really can't be closer to your 00:04:50 one you really can't be closer to your 00:04:50 one you really can't be closer to your customer whether it's a government 00:04:52 customer whether it's a government 00:04:52 customer whether it's a government customer whether it's a private sector 00:04:54 customer whether it's a private sector 00:04:54 customer whether it's a private sector customer you have the ability to be 00:04:56 customer you have the ability to be 00:04:56 customer you have the ability to be there in terms of the backbone 00:04:57 there in terms of the backbone 00:04:57 there in terms of the backbone particularly for folks who are involved 00:04:59 particularly for folks who are involved 00:04:59 particularly for folks who are involved in cyber security we're fed by two 00:05:01 in cyber security we're fed by two 00:05:01 in cyber security we're fed by two different substations two different 00:05:03 different substations two different 00:05:03 different substations two different fiber-optic lines if you're involved in 00:05:05 fiber-optic lines if you're involved in 00:05:05 fiber-optic lines if you're involved in classified work we have the ability to 00:05:06 classified work we have the ability to 00:05:06 classified work we have the ability to run the classified lines right to the 00:05:08 run the classified lines right to the 00:05:08 run the classified lines right to the buildings but more than that there are 00:05:11 buildings but more than that there are 00:05:11 buildings but more than that there are some things that we can do because we 00:05:13 some things that we can do because we 00:05:13 some things that we can do because we are a political subdivision of the state 00:05:14 are a political subdivision of the state 00:05:14 are a political subdivision of the state that most developers can't do number one 00:05:17 that most developers can't do number one 00:05:18 that most developers can't do number one we don't pay taxes on the property that 00:05:19 we don't pay taxes on the property that 00:05:19 we don't pay taxes on the property that we own so if you're leasing property 00:05:21 we own so if you're leasing property 00:05:21 we own so if you're leasing property from us that property is not on the tax 00:05:24 from us that property is not on the tax 00:05:24 from us that property is not on the tax rolls which can be a pretty good savings 00:05:27 rolls which can be a pretty good savings 00:05:27 rolls which can be a pretty good savings depending on the type of building that 00:05:28 depending on the type of building that 00:05:28 depending on the type of building that you're giving but when we talk about 00:05:30 you're giving but when we talk about 00:05:30 you're giving but when we talk about incentives we think the real incentive 00:05:32 incentives we think the real incentive 00:05:32 incentives we think the real incentive is this deliberate collisions that we're 00:05:34 is this deliberate collisions that we're 00:05:34 is this deliberate collisions that we're making between industries you know as 00:05:37 making between industries you know as 00:05:37 making between industries you know as you know because you're in this industry 00:05:38 you know because you're in this industry 00:05:38 you know because you're in this industry the future of cyber security is not just 00:05:40 the future of cyber security is not just 00:05:40 the future of cyber security is not just Network cyber security it's applying it 00:05:43 Network cyber security it's applying it 00:05:43 Network cyber security it's applying it to manufacturing it's applying it to 00:05:45 to manufacturing it's applying it to 00:05:45 to manufacturing it's applying it to aviation to energy to healthcare to 00:05:47 aviation to energy to healthcare to 00:05:47 aviation to energy to healthcare to everything else you are not going to get 00:05:50 everything else you are not going to get 00:05:50 everything else you are not going to get a better laboratory for that then you're 00:05:52 a better laboratory for that then you're 00:05:52 a better laboratory for that then you're gonna find at port San Antonio we're 00:05:54 gonna find at port San Antonio we're 00:05:54 gonna find at port San Antonio we're talking so much today about project tech 00:05:56 talking so much today about project tech 00:05:56 talking so much today about project tech as being this first cyber building and 00:05:59 as being this first cyber building and 00:05:59 as being this first cyber building and it is but it's so much more than that 00:06:00 it is but it's so much more than that 00:06:00 it is but it's so much more than that we've got massive industrial facilities 00:06:03 we've got massive industrial facilities 00:06:03 we've got massive industrial facilities when it comes time to develop SCADA 00:06:05 when it comes time to develop SCADA 00:06:05 when it comes time to develop SCADA programmes industrial control systems or 00:06:07 programmes industrial control systems or 00:06:07 programmes industrial control systems or the applications of it we can model that 00:06:09 the applications of it we can model that 00:06:09 the applications of it we can model that out there so if you need to build a 00:06:11 out there so if you need to build a 00:06:11 out there so if you need to build a factory floor you need to build a power 00:06:13 factory floor you need to build a power 00:06:13 factory floor you need to build a power grid we have the ability to do that on 00:06:15 grid we have the ability to do that on 00:06:15 grid we have the ability to do that on the property and you can apply that 00:06:17 the property and you can apply that 00:06:17 the property and you can apply that cybersecurity there yeah so I mean then 00:06:19 cybersecurity there yeah so I mean then 00:06:19 cybersecurity there yeah so I mean then there's enough space out there to think 00:06:21 there's enough space out there to think 00:06:21 there's enough space out there to think through all of these is and we've talked 00:06:23 through all of these is and we've talked 00:06:23 through all of these is and we've talked about on the program the some of the 00:06:26 about on the program the some of the 00:06:26 about on the program the some of the problems with the consumer side of the 00:06:27 problems with the consumer side of the 00:06:27 problems with the consumer side of the Internet of Things but as our industrial 00:06:30 Internet of Things but as our industrial 00:06:30 Internet of Things but as our industrial systems become much more internet 00:06:33 systems become much more internet 00:06:33 systems become much more internet connected and as those industrial 00:06:35 connected and as those industrial 00:06:35 connected and as those industrial systems become much more computerized 00:06:36 systems become much more computerized 00:06:36 systems become much more computerized from a control perspective it's great 00:06:39 from a control perspective it's great 00:06:39 from a control perspective it's great when things are working well we can be 00:06:42 when things are working well we can be 00:06:42 when things are working well we can be much more responsive to water mains 00:06:45 much more responsive to water mains 00:06:45 much more responsive to water mains breaking you can reroute things more 00:06:46 breaking you can reroute things more 00:06:46 breaking you can reroute things more quickly you can close off pipe so we're 00:06:49 quickly you can close off pipe so we're 00:06:49 quickly you can close off pipe so we're not wasting water in an area where 00:06:51 not wasting water in an area where 00:06:51 not wasting water in an area where something shouldn't be going anymore 00:06:53 something shouldn't be going anymore 00:06:53 something shouldn't be going anymore because of some damage but on the flip 00:06:56 because of some damage but on the flip 00:06:56 because of some damage but on the flip side of that if someone's using these 00:06:58 side of that if someone's using these 00:06:58 side of that if someone's using these electronic 00:06:59 electronic 00:06:59 electronic rolls for nefarious means they can make 00:07:01 rolls for nefarious means they can make 00:07:01 rolls for nefarious means they can make bad changes to the system at scale where 00:07:03 bad changes to the system at scale where 00:07:03 bad changes to the system at scale where before

arresting 00:07:11 authorities pretty good at arresting 00:07:11 authorities pretty good at arresting people when they sneak on to saw's 00:07:13 people when they sneak on to saw's 00:07:13 people when they sneak on to saw's property or CPS property but if you can 00:07:16 property or CPS property but if you can 00:07:16 property or CPS property but if you can sneak onto that property from another 00:07:18 sneak onto that property from another 00:07:18 sneak onto that property from another country over the Internet it's a little 00:07:20 country over the Internet it's a little 00:07:20 country over the Internet it's a little bit more difficult for the Behr County 00:07:22 bit more difficult for the Behr County 00:07:22 bit more difficult for the Behr County Sheriff's or SAPD to come arrest you 00:07:24 Sheriff's or SAPD to come arrest you 00:07:24 Sheriff's or SAPD to come arrest you that's exactly right and that's why 00:07:25 that's exactly right and that's why 00:07:25 that's exactly right and that's why we're so excited about San Antonio 00:07:27 we're so excited about San Antonio 00:07:27 we're so excited about San Antonio there's a lot of talk about Austin 00:07:29

yeah and this happens I see from a pure kind of cyber 00:08:06 happens I see from a pure kind of cyber 00:08:06 happens I see from a pure kind of cyber perspective very often is you have the 00:08:09 perspective very often is you have the 00:08:09 perspective very often is you have the cyber security professionals off in a 00:08:10 cyber security professionals off in a 00:08:10 cyber security professionals off in a bubble and maybe they're working for a 00:08:12 bubble and maybe they're working for a 00:08:12 bubble and maybe they're working for a specialty firm doing their thing they're 00:08:14 specialty firm doing their thing they're 00:08:14 specialty firm doing their thing they're seeing attacks they're monitoring 00:08:16 seeing attacks they're monitoring 00:08:16 seeing attacks they're monitoring attacks and they're trying to figure out 00:08:18 attacks and they're trying to figure out 00:08:18 attacks and they're trying to figure out how to remediate and patch systems that

show and now here we are week number 93 we're on the air 00:09:13 we are week number 93 we're on the air 00:09:13 we are week number 93 we're on the air basically every week we might have 00:09:14 basically every week we might have 00:09:14 basically every week we might have skipped one or two over the last year I 00:09:16 skipped one or two over the last year I 00:09:16 skipped one or two over the last year I think they've been some playoff 00:09:17 think they've been some playoff 00:09:17 think they've been some playoff basketball games and maybe this Final 00:09:20 basketball games and maybe this Final 00:09:20 basketball games and maybe this Final Four thing that was in town here for a 00:09:21 Four thing that was in town here for a 00:09:21 Four thing that was in town here for a little while I don't think we got to air 00:09:22 little while I don't think we got to air 00:09:22 little while I don't think we got to air that Final Four weekend yeah I mean as 00:09:24 that Final Four weekend yeah I mean as 00:09:24 that Final Four weekend yeah I mean as you look at the cybersecurity talent 00:09:27 you look at the cybersecurity talent 00:09:27 you look at the cybersecurity talent shortage is how do you get those 00:09:29 shortage is how do you get those 00:09:29 shortage is how do you get those specialty firms integrated involved in 00:09:31 specialty firms integrated involved in 00:09:31 specialty firms integrated involved in the manufacturing design and those folks 00:09:33 the manufacturing design and those folks 00:09:33 the manufacturing design and those folks can't fly back and forth all the time 00:09:35 can't fly back and forth all the time 00:09:35 can't fly back and forth all the time they they're not going to go to where 00:09:37 they they're not going to go to where 00:09:37 they they're not going to go to where you're manufacturing is that you're 00:09:38 you're manufacturing is that you're 00:09:38 you're manufacturing is that you're gonna need to bring your manufacturing 00:09:40 gonna need to bring your manufacturing 00:09:40 gonna need to bring your manufacturing or your quality control process towards 00:09:43 or your quality control process towards 00:09:43 or your quality control process towards to those cyber folks to get that 00:09:45 to those cyber folks to get that 00:09:45 to those cyber folks to get that integration and involvement that's 00:09:47 integration and involvement that's 00:09:47 integration and involvement that's exactly right and in fact that's what 00:09:48 exactly right and in fact that's what 00:09:48 exactly right and in fact that's what got us thinking about this whole project 00:09:51 got us thinking about this whole project 00:09:51 got us thinking about this whole project at concept a couple years back we were 00:09:54 at concept a couple years back we were 00:09:54 at concept a couple years back we were off at an Aviation Week conference and 00:09:56 off at an Aviation Week conference and 00:09:56 off at an Aviation Week conference and we were talking to an airline that had 00:09:58 we were talking to an airline that had 00:09:58 we were talking to an airline that had spent an awful lot of money with a 00:10:00 spent an awful lot of money with a 00:10:00 spent an awful lot of money with a Silicon Valley firm to develop an app 00:10:02 Silicon Valley firm to develop an app 00:10:02 Silicon Valley firm to develop an app and when they got the app it just didn't 00:10:04 and when they got the app it just didn't 00:10:04 and when they got the app it just didn't work right for him it was doing exactly 00:10:06 work right for him it was doing exactly 00:10:06 work right for him it was doing exactly what the app was supposed to do but they 00:10:08 what the app was supposed to do but they 00:10:08 what the app was supposed to do but they didn't know what data to capture and 00:10:10 didn't know what data to capture and 00:10:10 didn't know what data to capture and they didn't know what format to spit 00:10:12 they didn't know what format to spit 00:10:12 they didn't know what format to spit that data back out to the mechanics and 00:10:14 that data back out to the mechanics and 00:10:14 that data back out to the mechanics and one of the airline folks said you know 00:10:16 one of the airline folks said you know 00:10:16 one of the airline folks said you know we'd really like we'd really like to 00:10:18 we'd really like we'd really like to 00:10:18 we'd really like we'd really like to have those people who know what they're 00:10:19 have those people who know what they're 00:10:19 have those people who know what they're doing on the technology side right in 00:10:22 doing on the technology side right in 00:10:22 doing on the technology side right in the same room with us so that we can 00:10:24 the same room with us so that we can 00:10:24 the same room with us so that we can walk it through because if we knew 00:10:25 walk it through because if we knew 00:10:25 walk it through because if we knew enough to be able to define what we were 00:10:28 enough to be able to define what we were 00:10:28 enough to be able to define what we were looking for we could probably go ahead 00:10:30 looking for we could probably go ahead 00:10:30 looking for we could probably go ahead and create that app ourselves it's that 00:10:32 and create that app ourselves it's that 00:10:32 and create that app ourselves it's that 10% that solution that we're looking for 00:10:34 10% that solution that we're looking for 00:10:34 10% that solution that we're looking for that there is just no substitute 00:10:37 that there is just no substitute 00:10:37 that there is just no substitute but for innovation through collaboration 00:10:40 but for innovation through collaboration 00:10:40 but for innovation through collaboration just getting people right next to each 00:10:42 just getting people right next to each 00:10:42 just getting people right next to each other you know and as software starts to 00:10:46 other you know and as software starts to 00:10:46 other you know and as software starts to get even further integrated into 00:10:48 get even further integrated into 00:10:48 get even further integrated into business processes manufacturing 00:10:50 business processes manufacturing 00:10:50 business processes manufacturing processes the industry specific domain 00:10:54 processes the industry specific domain 00:10:54 processes the industry specific domain knowledge becomes more and more 00:10:56 knowledge becomes more and more 00:10:56 knowledge becomes more and more important it's not so software is no 00:10:58 important it's not so software is no 00:10:58 important it's not so software is no longer technology that is a tool built 00:11:01 longer technology that is a tool built 00:11:01 longer technology that is a tool built in an abstract generic manner and it's 00:11:04 in an abstract

in specific into each system 00:11:11 integrated in specific into each system 00:11:11 integrated in specific into each system each industry each area I mean I'm not 00:11:14 each industry each area I mean I'm not 00:11:14 each industry each area I mean I'm not an expert in water control valves but 00:11:17 an expert in water control valves but 00:11:17 an expert in water control valves but I'm certain that they are significantly 00:11:20 I'm certain that they are significantly 00:11:20 I'm certain that they are significantly different than electronic for the the 00:11:23 different than electronic for the the 00:11:23 different than electronic for the the power grid distribution so 00:11:26 power grid distribution so 00:11:26 power grid distribution so problems you end up with water flowing 00:11:27 problems you end up with water flowing 00:11:27 problems you end up with water flowing through pipes is certainly different 00:11:30 through pipes is certainly different 00:11:30 through pipes is certainly different than electricity flowing through lines 00:11:32 than electricity flowing through lines 00:11:32 than electricity flowing through lines and those differences make to where 00:11:36 and those differences make to where 00:11:36 and those differences make to where routing software is not the same for 00:11:38 routing software is not the same for 00:11:38 routing software is not the same for both the security problems are not the 00:11:39 both the security problems are not the 00:11:39 both the security problems are not the same for both and without that industry 00:11:42 same for both and without that industry 00:11:42 same for both and without that industry specific knowledge you can't build a 00:11:45 specific knowledge you can't build a 00:11:45 specific knowledge you can't build a high quality secure system oh you're 00:11:48 high quality secure system oh you're 00:11:48 high quality secure system oh you're absolutely right there are there's one 00:11:50 absolutely right there are there's one 00:11:50 absolutely right there are there's one company we have on the property we're 00:11:52 company we have on the property we're 00:11:52 company we have on the property we're really proud of they're just out of 00:11:53 really proud of they're just out of 00:11:53 really proud of they're just out of stealth mode so we can talk about them 00:11:55 stealth mode so we can talk about them 00:11:55 stealth mode so we can talk about them it's called plus-one robotics and what 00:11:57 it's called plus-one robotics and what 00:11:57 it's called plus-one robotics and what they're doing is exactly what you're 00:11:58 they're doing is exactly what you're 00:11:58 they're doing is exactly what you're talking about they're taking industrial 00:12:00 talking about they're taking industrial 00:12:00 talking about they're taking industrial robots which are a known commodity at 00:12:03 robots which are a known commodity at 00:12:03 robots which are a known commodity at this point in time and they are 00:12:05 this point in time and they are 00:12:05 this point in time and they are retrofitting sensor arrays onto the 00:12:07 retrofitting sensor arrays onto the 00:12:07 retrofitting sensor arrays onto the robot so they can see and an artificial 00:12:09 robot so they can see and an artificial 00:12:09 robot so they can see and an artificial intelligence so that they can think 00:12:11 intelligence so that they can think 00:12:11 intelligence so that they can think which opens up a whole new world of 00:12:13 which opens up a whole new world of 00:12:13 which opens up a whole new world of opportunity for that industry you're 00:12:16 opportunity for that industry you're 00:12:16 opportunity for that industry you're seeing the same thing go on an aviation 00:12:18 seeing the same thing go on an aviation 00:12:18 seeing the same thing go on an aviation yeah you got airplanes now that maybe 10 00:12:20 yeah you got airplanes now that maybe 10 00:12:20 yeah you got airplanes now that maybe 10 15 20 30 years old they've still got 00:12:23 15 20 30 years old they've still got 00:12:23 15 20 30 years old they've still got decades of life ahead of them but they 00:12:25 decades of life ahead of them but they 00:12:25 decades of life ahead of them but they need to be brought up to the new 00:12:26 need to be brought up to the new 00:12:26 need to be brought up to the new communication standard they need to be 00:12:28 communication standard they need to be 00:12:28 communication standard they need to be brought up to the new security standard 00:12:30 brought up to the new security standard 00:12:30 brought up to the new security standard and to do that you need somebody who not 00:12:32 and to do that you need somebody who not 00:12:32 and to do that you need somebody who not only knows the technology but somebody 00:12:35 only knows the technology but somebody 00:12:35 only knows the technology but somebody who knows how to go in there and 00:12:36 who knows how to go in there and 00:12:36 who knows how to go in there and actually install it on an airplane and 00:12:38 actually install it on an airplane and 00:12:38 actually install it on an airplane and the one thing I'd say and I think this 00:12:39 the one thing I'd say and I think this 00:12:39 the one thing I'd say and I think this is really really important for San 00:12:41 is really really important for San 00:12:41 is really really important for San Antonio 00:12:42 Antonio 00:12:42 Antonio we keep hearing about the problems with 00:12:44 we keep hearing about the problems with 00:12:44 we keep hearing about the problems with venture capital and San Antonio we keep 00:12:46 venture capital and San Antonio we keep 00:12:46 venture capital and San Antonio we keep hearing that there is difficulty getting 00:12:48 hearing that there is difficulty getting 00:12:48 hearing that there is difficulty getting it and I think there's probably some 00:12:49 it and I think there's probably some 00:12:49 it and I think there's probably some truth to that but you look at the 00:12:51 truth to that but you look at the 00:12:51 truth to that but you look at the corporations that are willing to invest 00:12:54 corporations that are willing to invest 00:12:54 corporations that are willing to invest Lockheed Martin just announced recently 00:12:56 Lockheed Martin just announced recently 00:12:56 Lockheed Martin just announced recently they're putting another hundred million 00:12:57 they're putting another hundred million 00:12:57 they're putting another hundred million dollars into their venture fund Airbus 00:13:00 dollars into their venture fund Airbus 00:13:00 dollars into their venture fund Airbus has a fund a three that they've got out 00:13:02 has a fund a three that they've got out 00:13:02 has a fund a three that they've got out there JetBlue United GE the list goes on 00:13:05 there JetBlue United GE the list goes on 00:13:05 there JetBlue United GE the list goes on and on bowing with horizon X these are 00:13:08 and on bowing with horizon X these are 00:13:08 and on bowing with horizon X these are companies that are looking for solutions 00:13:11 companies that are looking for solutions 00:13:11 companies that are looking for solutions and part of what we want to do with 00:13:12 and part of what we want to do with 00:13:12 and part of what we want to do with project tech is really not just port 00:13:15 project tech is really not just port 00:13:15 project tech is really not just port centric it's city centric we want to 00:13:17 centric it's city centric we want to 00:13:17 centric it's city centric we want to show off the capabilities that we have 00:13:19 show off the capabilities that we have 00:13:19 show off the capabilities that we have throughout this community whether you're 00:13:21 throughout this community whether you're

apply those 00:13:27 the place where you can apply those technologies and really make some money 00:13:29 technologies and really make some money 00:13:29 technologies and really make some money yeah and and I think this is one where 00:13:31 yeah and and I think this is one where 00:13:31 yeah and and I think this is one where you look at the the standalone sort of 00:13:34 you look at the the standalone sort of 00:13:34 you look at the the standalone sort of early stage and when people think 00:13:35 early stage and when people think 00:13:35 early stage and when people think venture capital I think they they're 00:13:37 venture capital I think they they're 00:13:37 venture capital I think they they're thinking Silicon Valley firms that are 00:13:39 thinking Silicon Valley firms that are 00:13:39 thinking Silicon Valley firms that are sponsoring the funding of the next great 00:13:42 sponsoring the funding of the next great 00:13:42 sponsoring the funding of the next great consumer thing and in San Antonio 00:13:44 consumer thing and in San Antonio 00:13:44 consumer thing and in San Antonio certainly a shortage for that but 00:13:45 certainly a shortage for that but 00:13:45 certainly a shortage for that but there's also not a ton of consumer app 00:13:48 there's also not a ton of consumer app 00:13:48 there's also not a ton of consumer app focused entrepreneurs

there for that if you could make 00:14:36 out there for that if you could make 00:14:36 out there for that if you could make airports run 5% more efficiently because 00:14:39 airports run 5% more efficiently because 00:14:39 airports run 5% more efficiently because they can get planes up off the the 00:14:42 they can get planes up off the the 00:14:42 they can get planes up off the the runway more quickly if they can land 00:14:44 runway more quickly if they can land 00:14:44 runway more quickly if they can land more planes if they can do that in a way 00:14:46 more planes if they can do that in a way 00:14:46 more planes if they can do that in a way to where the the planes are burning less 00:14:48 to where the the planes are burning less 00:14:48 to where the the planes are burning less fuel circling around and improving 00:14:50 fuel circling around and improving 00:14:50 fuel circling around and improving flight routes there's lots and lots of 00:14:52 flight routes there's lots and lots of 00:14:52 flight routes there's lots and lots of dollars in there and I think there's no 00:14:54 dollars in there and I think there's no 00:14:54 dollars in there and I think there's no shortage of venture capital in a place 00:14:56 shortage of venture capital in a place 00:14:56 shortage of venture capital in a place like San Antonio for ideas like that 00:14:58 like San Antonio for ideas like that 00:14:58 like San Antonio for ideas like that that's absolutely right you know you can 00:14:59 that's absolutely right you know you can 00:15:00 that's absolutely right you know you can think of it as being unsexy and it 00:15:01 think of it as being unsexy and it 00:15:01 think of it as being unsexy and it probably is it becomes an awful lot 00:15:03 probably is it becomes

00:17:07 the things as well as as we started to 00:17:07 the things as well as as we started to rebuild our tech ecosystem here in San 00:17:10 rebuild our tech ecosystem here in San 00:17:10 rebuild our tech ecosystem here in San Antonio we say we had a ton of tech jobs 00:17:12 Antonio we say we had a ton of tech jobs 00:17:12 Antonio we say we had a ton of tech jobs AT&T packed up and moved mostly out of 00:17:15 AT&T packed up and moved mostly out of 00:17:15 AT&T packed up and moved mostly out of downtown here took many of those tech 00:17:18 downtown here took many of those tech 00:17:18 downtown here took many of those tech R&D jobs with them up to to Dallas we've 00:17:21 R&D jobs with them up to to Dallas we've 00:17:21 R&D jobs with them up to to Dallas we've regrown in downtown San Antonio as this 00:17:25 regrown in downtown San Antonio as this 00:17:25 regrown in downtown San Antonio as this started to happen and this is still 00:17:28 started to happen and this is still 00:17:28 started to happen and this is still where I point folks is they say where 00:17:31 where I point folks is they say where 00:17:31 where I point folks is they say where are the tech

doing on kind of curating that do 00:17:41 guys doing on kind of curating that do 00:17:41 guys doing on kind of curating that do you track any stats around what's posted 00:17:43 you track any stats around what's posted 00:17:43 you track any stats around what's posted out there and how that's been going 00:17:45 out there and how that's been going 00:17:45 out there and how that's been going we do we do we we believe that this year 00:17:48 we do we do we we believe that this year 00:17:48 we do we do we we believe that this year alone we're on track to create over a 00:17:51 alone we're on track to create over a 00:17:51 alone we're on track to create over a thousand new jobs just down at the port 00:17:53 thousand new jobs just down at the port 00:17:53 thousand new jobs just down at the port and that doesn't count all the other 00:17:54 and that doesn't count all the other 00:17:54 and that doesn't count all the other jobs that are being supported throughout 00:17:56 jobs that are being supported throughout 00:17:56 jobs that are being supported throughout the community we have one challenge when 00:17:59 the community we have one challenge when 00:17:59 the community we have one challenge when it comes to tracking jobs because of the 00:18:01 it comes to tracking jobs because of the 00:18:01 it comes to tracking jobs because of the government and the security nature of 00:18:03 government and the security nature of 00:18:03 government and the security nature of this a lot of the companies that come in 00:18:05 this a lot of the companies that come in 00:18:05 this a lot of the companies that come in and a lot of the employers 00:18:06 and a lot of the employers 00:18:06 and a lot of the employers will not release those job figures yeah 00:18:08 will not release those job figures yeah 00:18:08 will not release those job figures yeah so some of it becomes a little bit of 00:18:10 so some of it becomes a little bit of 00:18:10 so some of it becomes a little bit of guesswork some of it becomes 00:18:12 guesswork some of it becomes 00:18:12 guesswork some of it becomes intentionally vague but easily this year 00:18:15 intentionally vague but easily this year 00:18:15 intentionally vague but easily this year will be at over 1,000 new jobs created 00:18:17 will be at over 1,000 new jobs created 00:18:17 will be at over 1,000 new jobs created just on our 1908 campus yeah and if I do 00:18:22 just on our 1908 campus yeah and if I do 00:18:22 just on our 1908 campus yeah and if I do the math you've got project tech opening 00:18:24 the math you've got project tech opening 00:18:24 the math you've got project tech opening up so it's a 90,000 square foot building 00:18:26 up so it's a 90,000 square foot building 00:18:26 up so it's a 90,000 square foot building my rough back of the envelope says if 00:18:29 my rough back of the envelope says if 00:18:29 my rough back of the envelope says if you put 200 square foot per person 00:18:31 you put 200 square foot per person 00:18:31 you put 200 square foot per person you're gonna end up with 450 people and 00:18:34 you're gonna end up with 450 people and 00:18:34 you're gonna end up with 450 people and just in that building right and then 00:18:37 just in that building right and then 00:18:37 just in that building right and then there's all of the stuff out there so 00:18:39 there's all of the stuff out there so 00:18:39 there's all of the stuff out there so for folks listening and learning maybe a 00:18:41 for folks listening and learning maybe a 00:18:41 for folks listening and learning maybe a little bit about the San Antonio 00:18:42 little bit about the San Antonio 00:18:42 little bit about the San Antonio community on the west side of our city

work at that building and they will tell you we won't disclose that 00:19:01 will tell you we won't disclose that 00:19:01 will tell you we won't disclose that number right yeah so there's a lot of 00:19:04 number right yeah so there's a lot of 00:19:04 number right yeah so there's a lot of the vagary about how many folks are 00:19:07 the vagary about how many folks are 00:19:07 the vagary about how many folks are working doing what type of work in all 00:19:09 working doing what type of work in all 00:19:09 working doing what type of work in all of these sorts of places you know one of 00:19:10 of these sorts of places you know one of 00:19:10 of these sorts of places you know one of my favorite stories this is about 25 26 00:19:13 my favorite stories this is about 25 26 00:19:13 my favorite stories this is about 25 26 years ago I'm old now living up in DC 00:19:15 years ago I'm old now living up in DC 00:19:15 years ago I'm old now living up in DC the NSA at that time did not

military is they're 00:20:37 government with the military is they're 00:20:37 government with the military is they're using acquisition systems that were 00:20:38 using acquisition systems that were 00:20:38 using acquisition systems that were designed in World War two in the Civil 00:20:40 designed in World War two in the Civil 00:20:40 designed in World War two in the Civil War they're outdated and the concept was 00:20:43 War they're outdated and the concept was 00:20:43 War they're outdated and the concept was that the government was going to fund 00:20:44 that the government was going to fund 00:20:44 that the government was going to fund the R&D and then you were going to 00:20:46 the R&D and then you were going to 00:20:46 the R&D and then you were going to commercialize it what's going on now 00:20:48 commercialize it what's going on now 00:20:48 commercialize it what's going on now across the board is the innovation is 00:20:51 across the board is the innovation is 00:20:51 across the board is the innovation is going on in the private sector and it's 00:20:52 going on in the private sector and it's 00:20:52 going on in the private sector and it's moving at such a speed the government 00:20:54 moving at such a speed the government 00:20:54 moving at such a speed the government really needs to jump on and acquire 00:20:57 really needs to jump on and acquire 00:20:57 really needs to jump on and acquire those commercial technologies that gets 00:20:59 those commercial technologies that gets 00:20:59 those commercial technologies that gets us back to this whole project tech 00:21:01 us back to this whole project tech 00:21:01 us back to this whole project tech concept which is you put them right next 00:21:03 concept which is you put them right next 00:21:03 concept which is you put them right next to each other so the government can see 00:21:06 to each other so the government can see 00:21:06 to each other so the government can see what's going on in the private sector 00:21:07 what's going on in the private sector 00:21:07 what's going on in the private sector the private sector has the opportunity 00:21:09 the private sector has the opportunity 00:21:09 the private sector has the opportunity to see what's going on in the government 00:21:10 to see what's going on in the government 00:21:10 to see what's going on in the government and we talk about it as government but 00:21:12 and we talk about it as government but 00:21:12 and we talk about it as government but the bureaucracy at a fortune 25 company 00:21:16 the bureaucracy at a fortune 25 company 00:21:16 the bureaucracy at a fortune 25 company mirrors that exactly the same and it's 00:21:20 mirrors that exactly the same and it's 00:21:20 mirrors that exactly the same and it's the same thing you've got so ours is not 00:21:22 the same thing you've got so ours is not 00:21:22 the same thing you've got so ours is not just a government play it's that private 00:21:25 just a government play it's that private 00:21:25 just a government play it's that private sector industry and then one thing that 00:21:28 sector industry and then one thing that 00:21:28 sector industry and then one thing that we're excited about in San Antonio you 00:21:29 we're excited about in San Antonio you 00:21:29 we're excited about in San Antonio you talk about critical infrastructure we 00:21:32 talk about critical infrastructure we 00:21:32 talk about critical infrastructure we have in CPS energy one of the largest 00:21:35 have in CPS energy one of the largest 00:21:35 have in CPS energy one of the largest municipal owned utilities anywhere on 00:21:38 municipal owned utilities anywhere on 00:21:38 municipal owned utilities anywhere on this planet it does everything from 00:21:41 this planet it does everything from 00:21:41 this planet it does everything from production to distribution to retail it 00:21:44 production to distribution to retail it 00:21:44 production to distribution to retail it does it nuclear it does it a new energy 00:21:46 does it nuclear it does it a new energy 00:21:46 does it nuclear it does it a new energy it doesn't in traditional sources that 00:21:48 it doesn't in traditional sources that 00:21:48 it doesn't in traditional sources that becomes really a nice laboratory for us 00:21:51 becomes really a nice laboratory for us 00:21:51 becomes really a nice laboratory for us to figure out how we're going to secure 00:21:53 to figure out how we're going to secure 00:21:53 to figure out how we're going to secure that critical infrastructure and as we 00:21:55 that critical infrastructure and as we 00:21:55 that critical infrastructure and as we develop those technologies and it won't 00:21:57 develop those technologies and it won't 00:21:57 develop those technologies and it won't be CPS developing those technologies 00:21:58 be CPS developing those technologies 00:21:58 be CPS developing those technologies it'll be the private sector and the 00:22:00 it'll be the private sector and the 00:22:00 it'll be the private sector and the companies out there that opens up an 00:22:03 companies out there that opens up an 00:22:03 companies out there that opens up an entire world market we look at this and 00:22:06 entire world market we look at this and 00:22:06 entire world market we look at this and we say the market for this apply 00:22:08 we say the market for this apply 00:22:08 we say the market for this apply technology is measured in the dozens of 00:22:11 technology is measured in the dozens of 00:22:11 technology is measured in the dozens of trillions it is absolutely huge and San 00:22:14 trillions it is absolutely huge and San 00:22:14 trillions it is absolutely huge and San Antonio doesn't need to be the next 00:22:15 Antonio doesn't need to be the next 00:22:15 Antonio doesn't need to be the next Silicon Valley we need to be the next 00:22:17 Silicon Valley we need to be the next 00:22:17 Silicon Valley we need to be the next San Antonio it's a place where if you're 00:22:19 San Antonio it's a place where if you're 00:22:19 San Antonio it's a place where if you're trying to keep your industry relevant 00:22:21 trying to keep your industry relevant 00:22:21 trying to keep your industry relevant for the next 100 years you're gonna 00:22:23 for the next 100 years you're gonna 00:22:23 for the next 100 years you're gonna figure out how to do that in San Antonio 00:22:25 figure out how to do that in San Antonio 00:22:25 figure out how to do that in San Antonio yeah and you were listening along for 00:22:28 yeah and you were listening along for 00:22:28 yeah and you were listening along for the whole conversation Jim had mentioned 00:22:30 the whole conversation Jim had mentioned 00:22:30 the whole conversation Jim had mentioned some of the the aeronautics platforms 00:22:32 some of the the aeronautics platforms 00:22:32 some of the the aeronautics platforms that are out there so an airframe for a 00:22:33 that are out there so an airframe for a 00:22:33 that are out there so an airframe for a plane 00:22:34 plane 00:22:34 plane may be good for 50 years maybe longer I 00:22:36 may be good for 50 years maybe longer I 00:22:36 may be good for 50 years maybe longer I mean we're still flying b-52s aren't we 00:22:38 mean we're still flying b-52s aren't we 00:22:38 mean we're still flying b-52s aren't we still flying b-52s there DC threes that 00:22:41 still flying b-52s there DC threes that 00:22:41 still flying b-52s there DC threes that are still flying around out there I 00:22:42 are still flying around out there I 00:22:42 are still flying around out there I think there's even at Boeing 247 that's 00:22:45 think there's even at Boeing 247 that's 00:22:45 think there's even at Boeing 247 that's still flying yeah so that the 00:22:46 still flying yeah so that the 00:22:46 still flying yeah so that the acquisition when when he says 00:22:49 acquisition when when he says 00:22:49 acquisition when when he says acquisition that's the government 00:22:50 acquisition that's the government 00:22:50 acquisition that's the government purchasing things so if they were gonna 00:22:51 purchasing things so if they were gonna 00:22:51 purchasing things so if they were gonna purchase a new platform if you're 00:22:53 purchase a new platform if you're 00:22:53 purchase a new platform if you're designing and purchasing a new platform 00:22:54 designing and purchasing a new platform 00:22:54 designing and purchasing a new platform that RFP could go on for five years if 00:22:56 that RFP could go on for five years if 00:22:56 that RFP could go on for five years if it's gonna be in use for 50 or 70 or 80 00:22:59 it's gonna be in use for 50 or 70 or 80 00:22:59 it's gonna be in use for 50 or 70 or 80 years usually and then if you're gonna 00:23:01 years usually and then if you're gonna 00:23:01 years usually and then if you're gonna put new technology into that so that 00:23:02 put new technology into that so that 00:23:02 put new technology into that so that b-52 that's flying around the insides of 00:23:05 b-52 that's flying around the insides of 00:23:05 b-52 that's flying around the insides of it not the same right there's nothing 00:23:06 it not the same right there's nothing 00:23:06 it not the same right there's nothing that's still running all the flight 00:23:09 that's still running all the flight 00:23:09 that's still running all the flight control systems from world war ii now 00:23:11 control systems from world war ii now 00:23:11 control systems from world war ii now they're running updated flight control 00:23:12 they're running updated flight control 00:23:12 they're running updated flight control systems and those type of systems might 00:23:14 systems and those type of systems might 00:23:14 systems and those type of systems might be on a one or two year long RFP and 00:23:16 be on a one or two year long RFP and 00:23:16 be on a one or two year long RFP and they might be in production for 10 to 20 00:23:19 they might be in production for 10 to 20 00:23:19 they might be in production for 10 to 20 years certain systems inside of the 00:23:20 years certain systems inside of the 00:23:20 years certain systems inside of the plane so in that world the acquisitions 00:23:25 plane so in that world the acquisitions 00:23:25 plane so in that world the acquisitions process works okay for them I mean it 00:23:27 process works okay for them I mean it 00:23:27 process works okay for them I mean it might be nice if they could go a little 00:23:29 might be nice if they could go a little 00:23:29 might be nice if they could go a little bit faster but in the cyber world a a 00:23:31 bit faster but in the cyber world a a 00:23:31 bit faster but in the cyber world a a platform might be useful for five years 00:23:34 platform might be useful for five years 00:23:34 platform might be useful for five years and the actual components running on 00:23:38 and the actual components running on 00:23:38 and the actual components running on that platform may only be useful for 90 00:23:40 that platform may only be useful for 90 00:23:40 that platform may only be useful for 90 days and if it takes you one to two 00:23:42 days and if it takes you one to two 00:23:42 days and if it takes you one to two years to buy something that's only good 00:23:43 years to buy something that's only good 00:23:43 years to buy something that's only good for 90 days 00:23:44 for 90 days 00:23:44 for 90 days a year and a half ago by the time you 00:23:47 a year and a half ago by the time you 00:23:47 a year and a half ago by the time you can buy it it's no longer useful that's 00:23:49 can buy it it's no longer useful that's 00:23:49 can buy it it's no longer useful that's absolutely right and one of the things I 00:23:50 absolutely right and one of the things I 00:23:50 absolutely right and one of the things I guess we can talk about that in the next 00:23:52 guess we can talk about that in the next 00:23:52 guess we can talk about that in the next segment yeah is how we're helping to fix 00:23:55 segment yeah is how we're helping to fix 00:23:55 segment yeah is how we're helping to fix that problem so that the government or 00:23:57 that problem so that the government or 00:23:57 that problem so that the government or the private sector can acquire those 00:23:59 the private sector can acquire those 00:23:59 the private sector can acquire those technologies at the speed of cyber yeah 00:24:02 technologies at the speed of cyber yeah 00:24:02 technologies at the speed of cyber yeah and this is changing not just across in 00:24:06 and this is changing not just across in 00:24:06 and this is changing not just across in the the aeronautics for the Air Force on 00:24:08 the the aeronautics for the Air Force on 00:24:08 the the aeronautics for the Air Force on their planes or the private sector on 00:24:10 their planes or the private sector on 00:24:10 their planes or the private sector on their airplanes the speed at which new 00:24:13 their airplanes the speed at which new 00:24:13 their airplanes the speed at which new technology needs to be able to be rolled 00:24:15 technology needs to be able to be rolled 00:24:15 technology needs to be able to be rolled into the utility created the water into 00:24:19 into the utility created the water into 00:24:19 into the utility created the water into healthcare systems and all sorts

where software and communications protocols are now embedded that the 00:24:28 protocols are now embedded that the 00:24:28 protocols are now embedded that the speed matters everywhere there and if we 00:24:30 speed matters everywhere there and if we 00:24:30 speed matters everywhere there and if we we don't get the speed into some of 00:24:32 we don't get the speed into some of 00:24:32 we don't get the speed into some of those systems we're gonna see if you 00:24:34 those systems we're gonna see if you 00:24:34 those systems we're gonna see if you think you've seen tragedies now it's 00:24:36 think you've seen tragedies now it's 00:24:36 think you've seen tragedies now it's gonna get much bigger so we're gonna 00:24:38 gonna get much bigger so we're gonna 00:24:38 gonna get much bigger so we're gonna take a quick break here at the bottom of 00:24:40 take a quick break here at the bottom of 00:24:40 take a quick break here at the bottom of the hour for news traffic and weather

took there out the windows on that 00:26:28 I took there out the windows on that 00:26:28 I took there out the windows on that third floor of that building back to 00:26:29 third floor of that building back to 00:26:29 third floor of that building back to downtown all seven minutes right roughly 00:26:33 downtown all seven minutes right roughly 00:26:33 downtown all seven minutes right roughly there abouts you're about seven minutes 00:26:34 there abouts you're about seven minutes 00:26:34 there abouts you're about seven minutes from downtown so people like port San 00:26:36 from downtown so people like port San 00:26:36 from downtown so people like port San Antonio is in the middle of nowhere well 00:26:38 Antonio is in the middle of nowhere well 00:26:38 Antonio is in the middle of nowhere well no I mean it's seven minutes away it's 00:26:40 no I mean it's seven minutes away it's 00:26:40 no I mean it's seven minutes away it's closer than the AIESEC the 1604 and 281 00:26:45 closer than the AIESEC the 1604 and 281 00:26:45 closer than the AIESEC the 1604 and 281 interchange or even the i-10 and 1604 00:26:47 interchange or even the i-10 and 1604 00:26:47 interchange or even the i-10 and 1604 interchange from downtown 00:26:48 interchange from downtown 00:26:48 interchange from downtown that's absolutely right in fact we come 00:26:50 that's absolutely right in fact we come 00:26:50 that's absolutely right in fact we come downtown to have lunch quite frequently 00:26:52 downtown to have lunch quite frequently 00:26:52 downtown to have lunch quite frequently so before we we took a break there at 00:26:55 so before we we took a break there at 00:26:55 so before we we took a break there at the bottom the r4 news trafficking 00:26:56 the bottom the r4 news trafficking 00:26:56 the bottom the r4 news trafficking weather 00:26:56 weather 00:26:56 weather a little bit about procurement and the 00:26:58 a little bit about procurement and the 00:26:58 a little bit about procurement and the speeds of some of this we've talked with 00:27:00 speeds of some of this we've talked with 00:27:00 speeds of some of this we've talked with rich Valadez and some others about this 00:27:02 rich Valadez and some others about this 00:27:02 rich Valadez and some others about this concept of a cyber proving ground out 00:27:04 concept of a cyber proving ground out 00:27:04 concept of a cyber proving ground out there and some of those things how how 00:27:06 there and some of those things how how 00:27:06 there and some of those things how how is that coming along to help everybody 00:27:09 is that coming along to help everybody 00:27:09 is that coming along to help everybody speed up on the the acquisitions to 00:27:12 speed up on the the acquisitions to 00:27:12 speed up on the the acquisitions to procurement side of things I don't think 00:27:14 procurement side of things I don't think 00:27:14 procurement side of things I don't think it's coming along quite as quickly as 00:27:15 it's coming along quite as quickly as 00:27:15 it's coming along quite as quickly as everybody hoped it would because you 00:27:17 everybody hoped it would because you 00:27:17 everybody hoped it would because you still bump up against some of the same 00:27:19 still bump up against some of the same 00:27:19 still bump up against some of the same challenges that you've always had in 00:27:21 challenges that you've always had in 00:27:21 challenges that you've always had in government acquisition how do you get 00:27:23 government acquisition how do you get 00:27:23 government acquisition how do you get into that cyber proving ground who can 00:27:25 into that cyber proving ground who can 00:27:25 into that cyber proving ground who can get into that cyber proving ground what 00:27:27 get into that cyber proving ground what 00:27:27 get into that cyber proving ground what technical readiness level do you have to 00:27:29 technical readiness level do you have to 00:27:29 technical readiness level do you have to be at before you can get into the cyber 00:27:30 be at before you can get into the cyber 00:27:30 be at before you can get into the cyber proving ground so we're looking at doing 00:27:33 proving ground so we're looking at doing 00:27:33 proving ground so we're looking at doing is something a little bit more creative 00:27:35 is something a little bit more creative 00:27:35 is something a little bit more creative and something we think will show off a 00:27:37 and something we think will show off a 00:27:37 and something we think will show off a lot more technologies and we use as the 00:27:39 lot more technologies and we use as the 00:27:39 lot more technologies and we use as the base of that the San Antonio Museum of 00:27:42 base of that the San Antonio Museum of 00:27:42 base of that the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology Sam set there 00:27:45 Science and Technology Sam set there 00:27:45 Science and Technology Sam set there right now you have the history of 00:27:47 right now you have the history of 00:27:47 right now you have the history of Technology and it's really a wonderful 00:27:49 Technology and it's really a wonderful 00:27:49 Technology and it's really a wonderful exhibit to go and see how we got to 00:27:51 exhibit to go and see how we got to 00:27:51 exhibit to go and see how we got to today the next step is going to be 00:27:54 today the next step is going to be 00:27:54 today the next step is going to be bringing in the current technologies 00:27:56 bringing in the current technologies 00:27:56 bringing in the current technologies that are being developed here in San 00:27:57 that are being developed here in San 00:27:57 that are being developed here in San Antonio and if you have a museum that's 00:28:00 Antonio and if you have a museum that's 00:28:00 Antonio and if you have a museum that's open to the public where people can see 00:28:02 open to the public where people can see 00:28:02 open to the public where people can see what's being developed people can get 00:28:04 what's being developed people can get 00:28:04 what's being developed people can get hands-on with what's being developed 00:28:05 hands-on with what's being developed 00:28:05 hands-on with what's being developed then for those who are looking to 00:28:07 then for those who are looking to 00:28:07 then for those who are looking to acquire those technologies whether 00:28:09 acquire those technologies whether 00:28:09 acquire those technologies whether they're government sector or private 00:28:10 they're government sector or private 00:28:10 they're government sector or private sector it is a lot easier to figure out 00:28:13 sector it is a lot easier to figure out 00:28:13 sector it is a lot easier to figure out how can I use that technology in my 00:28:16 how can I use that technology in my 00:28:16 how can I use that technology in my business than trying to think about 00:28:18 business than trying to think about 00:28:18 business than trying to think about where your hole is think about what your 00:28:20 where your hole is think about what your 00:28:20 where your hole is think about what your gap is and how you're gonna fill that 00:28:22 gap is and how you're gonna fill that 00:28:22 gap is and how you're gonna fill that gap and then turn around write an RFP 00:28:24 gap and then turn around write an RFP 00:28:24 gap and then turn around write an RFP for it gets back to that example we had 00:28:26 for it gets back to that example we had 00:28:26 for it gets back to that example we had talking to the airline if you know that 00:28:29 talking to the airline if you know that 00:28:29 talking to the airline if you know that you have a Cypress Cypress all've that 00:28:33 you have a Cypress Cypress all've that 00:28:33 you have a Cypress Cypress all've that cyber problem what the state of most 00:28:36 cyber problem what the state of most 00:28:36 cyber problem what the state of most industry is is they think they have a 00:28:39 industry is is they think they have a 00:28:39 industry is is they think they have a cyber vulnerability they don't know what 00:28:41 cyber vulnerability they don't know what 00:28:41 cyber vulnerability they don't know what it is where it is how to define it but 00:28:44 it is where it is how to define it but 00:28:44 it is where it is how to define it but going out and seeing what's in the 00:28:46 going out and seeing what's in the 00:28:46 going out and seeing what's in the market seeing what people are doing 00:28:47 market seeing what people are doing 00:28:47 market seeing what people are doing that's the best way to come in and 00:28:49 that's the best way to come in and 00:28:49 that's the best way to come in and figure out how you gonna fill those 00:28:50 figure out how you gonna fill those 00:28:50 figure out how you gonna fill those capability gaps and then with people 00:28:52 capability gaps and then with people 00:28:52 capability gaps and then with people like Dale blazing drew placet and David 00:28:55 like Dale blazing drew placet and David 00:28:55 like Dale blazing drew placet and David Monroe and doing the hard side of that 00:28:58 Monroe and doing the hard side of that 00:28:58 Monroe and doing the hard side of that as well the maker space that they're 00:28:59 as well the maker space that they're 00:28:59 as well the maker space that they're building up down there the ability to 00:29:01 building up down there the ability to 00:29:01 building up down there the ability to actually prototype something the hard 00:29:03 actually prototype something the hard 00:29:03 actually prototype something the hard part is going to be I'm pretty good at 00:29:06 part is going to be I'm pretty good at 00:29:06 part is going to be I'm pretty good at the software systems of it the software 00:29:09 the software systems of it the software 00:29:09 the software systems of it the software system side is probably the 00:29:10 system side is probably the 00:29:10 system side is probably the strongest part of this but it's just 00:29:12 strongest part of this but it's just 00:29:12 strongest part of this but it's just like if you're trying to break into a 00:29:13 like if you're trying to break into a 00:29:13 like if you're trying to break into a house you're not gonna go through that 00:29:14 house you're not gonna go through that 00:29:14 house you're not gonna go through that steel reinforced front door you're gonna 00:29:17 steel reinforced front door you're gonna 00:29:17 steel reinforced front door you're gonna go through the beautiful side light 00:29:18 go through the beautiful side light 00:29:18 go through the beautiful side light right next to it yeah so figure out 00:29:20 right next to it yeah so figure out 00:29:20 right next to it yeah so figure out where the side light is and how you can 00:29:22 where the side light is and how you can 00:29:22 where the side light is and how you can harden that side light but most 00:29:25 harden that side light but most 00:29:25 harden that side light but most important from the business perspective 00:29:26 important from the business perspective 00:29:26 important from the business perspective you can't do that in such a way where 00:29:29 you can't do that in such a way where 00:29:29 you can't do that in such a way where you come in and you just armor the side 00:29:31 you come in and you just armor the side 00:29:31 you come in and you just armor the side light you know that that's gonna ruin 00:29:33 light you know that that's gonna ruin 00:29:33 light you know that that's gonna ruin the business it's gonna ruin the look of 00:29:34 the business it's gonna ruin the look of 00:29:34 the business it's gonna ruin the look of what you're doing 00:29:35 what you're doing 00:29:35 what you're doing yeah that's why I've the you've got the 00:29:37 yeah that's why I've the you've got the 00:29:37 yeah that's why I've the you've got the side light on the front door see right 00:29:38 side light on the front door see right 00:29:38 side light on the front door see right light into the entryway if you you just 00:29:41 light into the entryway if you you just 00:29:41 light into the entryway if you you just put steel on that too then you've got a 00:29:42 put steel on that too then you've got a 00:29:42 put steel on that too then you've got a dark entryway and you've got a bat cave 00:29:44 dark entryway and you've got a bat cave 00:29:44 dark entryway and you've got a bat cave not everyone wants to live in the bat 00:29:46 not everyone wants to live in the bat 00:29:46 not everyone wants to live in the bat cave and isn't that really the challenge 00:29:48 cave and isn't that really the challenge 00:29:48 cave and isn't that really the challenge of cybersecurity I mean the easiest way 00:29:49 of cybersecurity I mean the easiest way 00:29:49 of cybersecurity I mean the easiest way to do this is have everything on a 00:29:51 to do this is have everything on a 00:29:51 to do this is have everything on a computer that's accessible only 00:29:53 computer that's accessible only 00:29:53 computer that's accessible only physically in that computer that's 00:29:55 physically in that computer that's 00:29:55 physically in that computer that's locked up in a vault and surrounded by 00:29:57 locked up in a vault and surrounded by 00:29:57 locked up in a vault and surrounded by people with machine guns 00:29:58 people with machine guns 00:29:58 people with machine guns yeah well that a great concept but how 00:30:00 yeah well that a great concept but how 00:30:00 yeah well that a great concept but how you gonna run a business that way no no 00:30:02 you gonna run a business that way no no 00:30:02 you gonna run a business that way no no yeah it's lots of stuff like you you 00:30:04 yeah it's lots of stuff like you you 00:30:04 yeah it's lots of stuff like you you look at the operating systems a lot of 00:30:07 look at the operating systems a lot of 00:30:07 look at the operating systems a lot of the naval ships I'm running the most 00:30:10 the naval ships I'm running the most 00:30:10 the naval ships I'm running the most current operating systems this is not a 00:30:11 current operating systems this is not a 00:30:11 current operating systems this is not a classified stuff but I mean they're 00:30:13 classified stuff but I mean they're 00:30:13 classified stuff but I mean they're running operating systems that are 15 00:30:15 running operating systems that are 15 00:30:15 running operating systems that are 15 and 20 years old on Navy boats but not 00:30:17 and 20 years old on Navy boats but not 00:30:17 and 20 years old on Navy boats but not the easiest thing for a hacker to get 00:30:19 the easiest thing for a hacker to get 00:30:20 the easiest thing for a hacker to get access to the operating system on the 00:30:21 access to the operating system on the 00:30:21 access to the operating system on the navy ship all right 00:30:22 navy ship all right 00:30:22 navy ship all right well and you've seen that in the 00:30:24 well and you've seen that in the 00:30:24 well and you've seen that in the commercial side you know there's the 00:30:25 commercial side you know there's the 00:30:25 commercial side you know there's the famous story about the smart fish tank 00:30:27 famous story about the smart fish tank 00:30:27 famous story about the smart fish tank out there in Nevada yeah where you hack 00:30:30 out there in Nevada yeah where you hack 00:30:30 out there in Nevada yeah where you hack through that and you get the casinos 00:30:31 through that and you get the casinos 00:30:31 through that and you get the casinos financial data you can shut down a 00:30:33 financial data you can shut down a 00:30:33 financial data you can shut down a factory through that connected coffee 00:30:35 factory through that connected coffee 00:30:35 factory through that connected coffee pot the weaknesses are out there but 00:30:37 pot the weaknesses are out there but 00:30:37 pot the weaknesses are out there but modeling those weaknesses and figuring 00:30:39 modeling those weaknesses and figuring 00:30:39 modeling those weaknesses and figuring out how you're going to secure them 00:30:41 out how you're going to secure them 00:30:41 out how you're going to secure them that's that next challenge and that's 00:30:42 that's that next challenge and that's 00:30:42 that's that next challenge and that's what project tech really means it's not 00:30:45 what project tech really means it's not 00:30:45 what project tech really means it's not just a port San Antonio building it's 00:30:48 just a port San Antonio building it's 00:30:48 just a port San Antonio building it's not even just a port San Antonio vision 00:30:50 not even just a port San Antonio vision 00:30:50 not even just a port San Antonio vision it's part of this cyber corridor how are 00:30:52 it's part of this cyber corridor how are 00:30:52 it's part of this cyber corridor how are we going to connect up San Antonio to 00:30:55 we going to connect up San Antonio to 00:30:55 we going to connect up San Antonio to the world yeah as so thinking just 00:30:58 the world yeah as so thinking just 00:30:58 the world yeah as so thinking just outside the port in between the port 00:31:00 outside the port in between the port 00:31:00 outside the port in between the port here in downtown for those that have not 00:31:02 here in downtown for those that have not 00:31:02 here in downtown for those that have not been listening to the news and reading 00:31:06 been listening to the news and reading 00:31:06 been listening to the news and reading and following along the University of 00:31:09 and following along the University of 00:31:09 and following along the University of Texas San Antonio has been talking about 00:31:11 Texas San Antonio has been talking about 00:31:11 Texas San Antonio has been talking about a major expansion of their downtown 00:31:12 a major expansion of their downtown 00:31:12 a major expansion of their downtown campus to include some research on the 00:31:17 campus to include some research on the 00:31:17 campus to include some research on the cyber side there's some research 00:31:18 cyber side there's some research 00:31:18 cyber side there's some research collaboration there so I would encourage 00:31:20 collaboration there so I would encourage 00:31:20 collaboration there so I would encourage you to if you're interested in this to 00:31:22 you to if you're interested in this to 00:31:22 you to if you're interested in this to go out look at some of the things that 00:31:23 go out look at some of the things that 00:31:23 go out look at some of the things that they've proposed 00:31:24 they've proposed 00:31:24 they've proposed plan for that and I think as you see 00:31:28 plan for that and I think as you see 00:31:28 plan for that and I think as you see those sorts of things come online 00:31:29 those sorts of things come online 00:31:29 those sorts of things come online ideally here over the next five years 00:31:32 ideally here over the next five years 00:31:32 ideally here over the next five years it's really gonna feel like one big 00:31:34 it's really gonna feel like one big 00:31:34 it's really gonna feel like one big connected space between what's going on 00:31:36 connected space between what's going on 00:31:36 connected space between what's going on downtown the UTSA campus there and then 00:31:39 downtown the UTSA campus there and then 00:31:39 downtown the UTSA campus there and then on over to the port is all going to be 00:31:41 on over to the port is all going to be 00:31:41 on over to the port is all going to be within a blur together 00:31:43 within a blur together 00:31:43 within a blur together that's absolutely right yeah so I I know 00:31:48 that's absolutely right yeah so I I know 00:31:48 that's absolutely right yeah so I I know you just mentioned Sam sadden and you're 00:31:50 you just mentioned Sam sadden and you're 00:31:50 you just mentioned Sam sadden and you're very familiar with it 00:31:52 very familiar with it 00:31:52 very familiar with it most of our listening audience may not 00:31:54 most of our listening audience may not 00:31:54 most of our listening audience may not be and if you're a schoolteacher out 00:31:55 be and if you're a schoolteacher out 00:31:55 be and if you're a schoolteacher out there if you're if you're a kid on a 00:31:56 there if you're if you're a kid on a 00:31:56 there if you're if you're a kid on a CyberPatriot team and you're hearing 00:31:58 CyberPatriot team and you're hearing 00:31:58 CyberPatriot team and you're hearing this for the first time we have a Museum 00:32:00 this for the first time we have a Museum 00:32:00 this for the first time we have a Museum of Science and Technology in San Antonio 00:32:03 of Science and Technology in San Antonio 00:32:03 of Science and Technology in San Antonio share a little bit more for the audience 00:32:05 share a little bit more for the audience 00:32:05 share a little bit more for the audience about it how did that come about out 00:32:08 about it how did that come about out 00:32:08 about it how did that come about out there on the port well it came about as 00:32:10 there on the port well it came about as 00:32:10 there on the port well it came about as a passion project of its founder David 00:32:13 a passion project of its founder David 00:32:13 a passion project of its founder David Monroe and you know his claim to fame is 00:32:15 Monroe and you know his claim to fame is 00:32:15 Monroe and you know his claim to fame is he invented the cell phone camera but 00:32:17 he invented the cell phone camera but 00:32:17 he invented the cell phone camera but he's done so much more than that over 00:32:19 he's done so much more than that over 00:32:19 he's done so much more than that over the years you look at a lot of 00:32:20 the years you look at a lot of 00:32:20 the years you look at a lot of technologies in the law enforcement side 00:32:24 technologies in the law enforcement side 00:32:24 technologies in the law enforcement side the military side the healthcare side he 00:32:26 the military side the healthcare side he 00:32:26 the military side the healthcare side he was behind that particularly if it was 00:32:28 was behind that particularly if it was 00:32:28 was behind that particularly if it was image capture encryption transmission D 00:32:31 image capture encryption transmission D 00:32:31 image capture encryption transmission D encryption what he wanted to do was open 00:32:35 encryption what he wanted to do was open 00:32:35 encryption what he wanted to do was open up a pathway for young people to really 00:32:38 up a pathway for young people to really 00:32:38 up a pathway for young people to really get interested in technology and use 00:32:41 get interested in technology and use 00:32:41 get interested in technology and use that as a springboard to their future 00:32:44 that as a springboard to their future 00:32:44 that as a springboard to their future he had a campus up across the street 00:32:46 he had a campus up across the street 00:32:46 he had a campus up across the street from the Dominion we encouraged him to 00:32:49 from the Dominion we encouraged him to 00:32:49 from the Dominion we encouraged him to move on down to the port we showed him a 00:32:50 move on down to the port we showed him a 00:32:50 move on down to the port we showed him a little bit about what we think the 00:32:52 little bit about what we think the 00:32:52 little bit about what we think the vision is how we're looking to apply 00:32:53 vision is how we're looking to apply 00:32:53 vision is how we're looking to apply those technologies and we sold him on it 00:32:56 those technologies and we sold him on it 00:32:56 those technologies and we sold him on it he was willing to take a flier and come 00:32:58 he was willing to take a flier and come 00:32:58 he was willing to take a flier and come down and open that museum in the almost 00:33:01 down and open that museum in the almost 00:33:01 down and open that museum in the almost a year that he's been down there 00:33:03 a year that he's been down there 00:33:03 a year that he's been down there he's got systemic the geek bucks people 00:33:05 he's got systemic the geek bucks people 00:33:05 he's got systemic the geek bucks people to move in with him the cyber Texas 00:33:07 to move in with him the cyber Texas 00:33:07 to move in with him the cyber Texas foundation there is a meet-up that takes 00:33:10 foundation there is a meet-up that takes 00:33:10 foundation there is a meet-up that takes place down there and he's expanding this 00:33:13 place down there and he's expanding this 00:33:13 place down there and he's expanding this makerspace that he has and and we're 00:33:15 makerspace that he has and and we're 00:33:15 makerspace that he has and and we're really really excited about that for two 00:33:17 really really excited about that for two 00:33:17 really really excited about that for two reasons one the ability to take people 00:33:20 reasons one the ability to take people 00:33:20 reasons one the ability to take people in and show them how you can actually 00:33:22 in and show them how you can actually 00:33:22 in and show them how you can actually work on these machines how you can 00:33:24 work on these machines how you can 00:33:24 work on these machines how you can actually prototype something and then to 00:33:27 actually prototype something and then to 00:33:27 actually prototype something and then to burn vendors in town for people who are 00:33:29 burn vendors in town for people who are 00:33:29 burn vendors in town for people who are innovative and they're looking for ways 00:33:31 innovative and they're looking for ways 00:33:31 innovative and they're looking for ways how can I actually prototype something 00:33:33 how can I actually prototype something 00:33:33 how can I actually prototype something up so that I can show that this can be 00:33:35 up so that I can show that this can be 00:33:35 up so that I can show that this can be used in energy generation 00:33:38 used in energy generation 00:33:38 used in energy generation can be used in health care this can be 00:33:40 can be used in health care this can be 00:33:40 can be used in health care this can be used in aviation it's an opportunity to 00:33:42 used in aviation it's an opportunity to 00:33:42 used in aviation it's an opportunity to go down there and have access to tooling 00:33:44 go down there and have access to tooling 00:33:44 go down there and have access to tooling and equipment that you normally just 00:33:46 and equipment that you normally just 00:33:46 and equipment that you normally just wouldn't have access to yeah and this is 00:33:48 wouldn't have access to yeah and this is 00:33:48 wouldn't have access to yeah and this is all the way from super high-resolution 00:33:51 all the way from super high-resolution 00:33:51 all the way from super high-resolution 3d printers and so just like your paper 00:33:54 3d printers and so just like your paper 00:33:54 3d printers and so just like your paper printer or laser printer you've got the 00:33:55 printer or laser printer you've got the 00:33:56 printer or laser printer you've got the different dpi on those 3d printers 00:33:58 different dpi on those 3d printers 00:33:58 different dpi on those 3d printers there's kind of the consumer grade one 00:34:00 there's kind of the consumer grade one 00:34:00 there's kind of the consumer grade one where you can make little plastic army 00:34:02 where you can make little plastic army 00:34:02 where you can make little plastic army men toys out of them but then there's 00:34:04 men toys out of them but then there's 00:34:04 men toys out of them but then there's also the industrial ones like they have 00:34:05 also the industrial ones like they have 00:34:05 also the industrial ones like they have out there at Sam sat where you can make 00:34:07 out there at Sam sat where you can make 00:34:08 out there at Sam sat where you can make super high precision high quality high 00:34:10 super high precision high quality high 00:34:10 super high precision high quality high stress parts that you could potentially 00:34:13 stress parts that you could potentially 00:34:13 stress parts that you could potentially go put in an airplane and actually test 00:34:15 go put in an airplane and actually test 00:34:15 go put in an airplane and actually test out and then there's also CNC machines 00:34:19 out and then there's also CNC machines 00:34:19 out and then there's also CNC machines where you can machine metals all of 00:34:22 where you can machine metals all of 00:34:22 where you can machine metals all of those that are all robotic and 00:34:24 those that are all robotic and 00:34:24 those that are all robotic and programmatic and programmable so those 00:34:27 programmatic and

missions has been the expansion of CyberPatriot 00:36:57 has been the expansion of CyberPatriot 00:36:57 has been the expansion of CyberPatriot here all across the San Antonio area to 00:37:00 here all across the San Antonio area to 00:37:00 here all across the San Antonio area to where we are now the largest number of 00:37:03 where we are now the largest number of 00:37:03 where we are now the largest number of CyberPatriot teams that have any Metro 00:37:05 CyberPatriot teams that have any Metro 00:37:05 CyberPatriot teams that have any Metro anywhere in the u.s. so we've got kids 00:37:08 anywhere in the u.s. so we've got kids 00:37:08 anywhere in the u.s. so we've got kids getting interested in in cybersecurity 00:37:10 getting interested in in cybersecurity 00:37:10 getting interested in in cybersecurity and technology but there's always more 00:37:13 and technology but there's always more 00:37:13 and technology but there's always more that can happen because even with 00:37:15 that can happen because even with 00:37:15 that can happen because even with everything we're doing my numbers seem 00:37:17 everything we're doing my numbers seem 00:37:17 everything we're doing my numbers seem to tell me we're gonna be somewhere 00:37:18 to tell me we're gonna be somewhere 00:37:18 to tell me we're gonna be somewhere between a half a million and maybe as 00:37:20

you say that you can apply these 00:40:54 when you say that you can apply these 00:40:54 when you say that you can apply these technologies to aviation and yes we 00:40:57 technologies to aviation and yes we 00:40:57 technologies to aviation and yes we absolutely can you may have seen the 00:40:58 absolutely can you may have seen the 00:40:58 absolutely can you may have seen the news a while back that Boeing is 00:41:01 news a while back that Boeing is 00:41:01 news a while back that Boeing is doubling the employment on their campus 00:41:03 doubling the employment on their campus 00:41:03

00:41:10 hundred seventy acre site down there and one of the big reasons they're doing it 00:41:12 one of the big reasons they're doing it 00:41:12 one of the big reasons they're doing it is because of the fa-18 program they're 00:41:15 is because of the fa-18 program they're 00:41:15 is because of the fa-18 program they're taking these airplanes that are almost 00:41:16 taking these airplanes

putting the better part of 15 billion dollars worth of work 00:41:41 billion dollars worth of work 00:41:41 billion dollars worth of work maintaining engines into the port San 00:41:43 maintaining engines into the port San 00:41:43 maintaining engines into the port San Antonio site and again it's going to 00:41:45 Antonio site and again it's going to 00:41:45 Antonio site and again it's going to come with a tremendous number of jobs 00:41:47 come with a tremendous number of jobs 00:41:47 come with a tremendous number of jobs but that's not just turning wrenches 00:41:49 but that's not just turning wrenches 00:41:49 but that's not just turning wrenches that is taking engines that are getting 00:41:52 that is taking engines that are getting 00:41:52 that is taking engines that are getting older and one of the things that 00:41:53 older and one of the things that 00:41:53 older and one of the things that standard aero is very justifiably proud 00:41:55 standard aero is very justifiably proud 00:41:55 standard aero is very justifiably proud of and that we're proud of to have them 00:41:57 of and that we're proud of to have them 00:41:57 of and that we're proud of to have them in this community is they're using big 00:41:59 in this community is they're using big 00:41:59 in this community is they're using big data and analytics and data to make 00:42:02 data and analytics and data to make 00:42:02 data and analytics and data to make those engines more efficient and last 00:42:05 those engines more efficient and last 00:42:05 those engines more efficient and last longer generating more power when they 00:42:07 longer generating more power when they 00:42:07 longer generating more power when they come out now than they did when they 00:42:09 come out now than they did when they 00:42:09 come out now than they did when they originally went in and that's a matter 00:42:11 originally went in and that's a matter 00:42:11 originally went in and that's a matter of changing the materials that were 00:42:13 of changing the materials that were 00:42:13 of changing the materials that were being used changing the geometry within 00:42:16 being used changing the geometry within 00:42:16 being used changing the geometry within the engine that type of applied 00:42:18 the engine that type of applied 00:42:18 the engine that type of applied technology the next phase of course is 00:42:20 technology the next phase of course is 00:42:20 technology the next phase of course is as you start to connect up these 00:42:22 as you start to connect up these 00:42:22 as you start to connect up these aircraft making sure that it's secure 00:42:25 aircraft making sure that it's secure 00:42:25 aircraft making sure that it's secure and this is where we see tremendous 00:42:28 and this is where we see tremendous 00:42:28 and this is where we see tremendous opportunity in San Antonio 00:42:30 opportunity in San Antonio 00:42:30 opportunity in San Antonio so we're personally ecstatic about 00:42:32 so we're personally ecstatic about 00:42:32 so we're personally ecstatic about Lockheed launching this building 00:42:34 Lockheed launching this building 00:42:34 Lockheed launching this building Lockheed launching us figuratively on 00:42:36 Lockheed launching us figuratively on 00:42:36 Lockheed launching us figuratively on this next stage in our evolution but we 00:42:39 this next stage in our evolution but we 00:42:39 this next stage in our evolution but we also use that as validation yeah no I 00:42:42 also use that as validation yeah no I 00:42:42 also use that as validation yeah no I mean it's it's great to see them come in 00:42:45 mean it's it's great to see them come in 00:42:45 mean it's it's great to see them come in and then take that first chunk of the 00:42:47 and then take that first chunk of the 00:42:47 and then take that first chunk of the space there and I think one of the great 00:42:53 space there and I think one of the great 00:42:53 space there and I think one of the great things that you have going on out there 00:42:54 things that you have going on out there 00:42:54 things that you have going on out there it's a number of private sector 00:42:58 it's a number of private sector 00:42:58 it's a number of private sector companies working private sector 00:43:01 companies working private sector 00:43:01 companies working private sector contracts but then you have separate 00:43:03 contracts but then you have separate 00:43:03 contracts but then you have separate space nearby separate teams on missions 00:43:07 space nearby separate teams on missions 00:43:07 space nearby separate teams on missions that may be classified that may require 00:43:09 that may be classified that may require 00:43:09 that may be classified that may require classified facilities and classified 00:43:11 classified facilities and classified 00:43:11 classified facilities and classified space and all of that can happen out 00:43:14 space and all of that can happen out 00:43:14 space and all of that can happen out there at the port and you have you have 00:43:17 there at the port and you have you have 00:43:17 there at the port and you have you have construction partners that know how to 00:43:19 construction partners that know how to 00:43:19 construction partners that know how to build that you have folks that have gone 00:43:22 build that you have folks that have gone 00:43:22 build that you have folks that have gone through and done that already with other 00:43:24 through and done that already with other 00:43:24 through and done that already with other buildings on the site so you can have a 00:43:26 buildings on the site so you can have a 00:43:26 buildings on the site so you can have a good idea of what can get approved and 00:43:28 good idea of what can get approved and 00:43:28 good idea of what can get approved and what can not get approved and how all 00:43:31 what can not get approved and how all 00:43:31 what can not get approved and how all those things can go along and then this 00:43:33 those things can go along and then this 00:43:33 those things can go along and then this is is one that makes San Antonio a 00:43:35 is is one that makes San Antonio a 00:43:35 is is one that makes San Antonio a special place because you look at having 00:43:38 special place because you look at having 00:43:38 special place because you look at having all the pieces in the ecosystem to be 00:43:40 all the pieces in the ecosystem to be 00:43:40 all the pieces in the ecosystem to be able to bring that type of stuff online 00:43:42 able to bring that type of stuff online 00:43:42 able to bring that type of stuff online to be able to have hundreds of folks 00:43:45 to be able to have hundreds of folks 00:43:45 to be able to have hundreds of folks every month that are retiring out of the 00:43:48 every month that are retiring out of the 00:43:48 every month that are retiring out of the services here at a Joint Base San 00:43:49 services here at a Joint Base San 00:43:49 services here at a Joint Base San Antonio that I already have clearances 00:43:52 Antonio that I already have

new to technology it 00:46:17 something I'm new to technology it 00:46:17 something I'm new to technology it strikes me we talk about a cyber 00:46:19 strikes me we talk about a cyber 00:46:19 strikes me we talk about a cyber security and technology industry and I'm 00:46:21 security and technology industry and I'm 00:46:21 security and technology industry and I'm really starting to be the opinion that 00:46:23 really starting to be the opinion that 00:46:23 really starting to be the opinion that that doesn't exist it's like when people 00:46:25 that doesn't exist it's like when people 00:46:25 that doesn't exist it's like when people say the manufacturing industry well your 00:46:28 say the manufacturing industry well your 00:46:28 say the manufacturing industry well your manufacturing potato chips your 00:46:29 manufacturing potato chips your 00:46:29 manufacturing potato chips your manufacturing cars your manufacturing 00:46:31 manufacturing cars your manufacturing 00:46:31 manufacturing cars your manufacturing computers yeah when I see cybersecurity 00:46:34 computers yeah when I see cybersecurity 00:46:34 computers yeah when I see cybersecurity when I see big data it's really how you 00:46:37 when I see big data it's really how you 00:46:37 when I see big data it's really how you apply it and as you said the application 00:46:40 apply it and as you said the application 00:46:40 apply it and as you said the application that you're going to have in one 00:46:41 that you're going to have in one 00:46:41 that you're going to have in one industry is going to be completely 00:46:43 industry is going to be completely 00:46:43 industry is going to be completely different than the application in the 00:46:44 different than the application in the 00:46:44 different than the application in the other industry this is our advantage in 00:46:46 other industry this is our advantage in 00:46:46 other industry this is our advantage in San Antonio we've got really deep bench 00:46:49 San Antonio we've got really deep bench 00:46:49 San Antonio we've got really deep bench in cybersecurity people who understand 00:46:52 in cybersecurity people who understand 00:46:52 in cybersecurity people who understand the technology we've got really really 00:46:54 the technology we've got really really 00:46:54 the technology we've got really really deep benches and energy in healthcare 00:46:56 deep benches and energy in healthcare 00:46:56 deep benches and energy in healthcare and aviation in manufacturing and 00:46:59 and aviation in manufacturing and 00:46:59 and aviation in manufacturing and we can put that together then there's 00:47:01 we can put that together then there's 00:47:01 we can put that together then there's gonna be great things for all of San 00:47:03 gonna be great things for all of San 00:47:03 gonna be great things for all of San Antonio yeah I mean there's a time and 00:47:06 Antonio yeah I mean there's a time and 00:47:06 Antonio yeah I mean there's a time and topic for another program but the the 00:47:08 topic for another program but the the 00:47:08 topic for another program but the the healthcare Internet of Things is you 00:47:09 healthcare Internet of Things is you 00:47:09 healthcare Internet of Things is you start looking if you have a pacemaker 00:47:11 start looking if you have a pacemaker 00:47:11 start looking if you have a pacemaker right now your pacemaker probably has 00:47:13 right now your pacemaker probably has 00:47:13 right now your pacemaker probably has Bluetooth in it and frankly that would 00:47:16 Bluetooth in it and frankly that would 00:47:16 Bluetooth in it and frankly that would scare me quite a bit because we've seen 00:47:18 scare me quite a bit because we've seen 00:47:18 scare me quite a bit because we've seen lots of problems with bluetooth over the 00:47:20 lots of problems with bluetooth over the 00:47:21 lots of problems with bluetooth over the years and I mean this is just a real 00:47:22 years and I mean this is just a real 00:47:22 years and I mean this is just a real great example of how this security 00:47:26 great example of how this security 00:47:26 great example of how this security technology needs to get baked into 00:47:27 technology needs to get baked into 00:47:27 technology needs to get baked into everything I mean if I don't have the 00:47:30 everything I mean if I don't have the 00:47:30 everything I mean if I don't have the pacemaker but if I did I would be 00:47:32 pacemaker but if I did I would be 00:47:32 pacemaker but if I did I would be figuring out asking how do I turn the 00:47:34 figuring out asking how do I turn the 00:47:34 figuring out asking how do I turn the Bluetooth off and with the the airplanes 00:47:37 Bluetooth off and with the the airplanes 00:47:37 Bluetooth off and with the the airplanes I mean we all want to get on planes that 00:47:38 I mean we all want to get on planes that 00:47:38 I mean we all want to get on planes that know where they're going I think it was 00:47:41 know where they're going I think it was 00:47:41 know where they're going I think it was a bit of bad news for the Navy when the 00:47:44 a bit of bad news for the Navy when the 00:47:44 a bit of bad news for the Navy when the boats ran into each other out there in 00:47:46 boats ran into each other out there in 00:47:46 boats ran into each other out there in the Pacific or this last year I mean so 00:47:49 the Pacific or this last year I mean so 00:47:49 the Pacific or this last year I mean so there's bad things happening out there 00:47:50 there's bad things happening out there 00:47:50 there's bad things happening out there there are bad people doing things to 00:47:52 there are bad people doing things to 00:47:52 there are bad people doing things to systems that functioning under normal 00:47:54 systems that functioning under normal 00:47:54 systems that functioning under normal conditions are gonna run great but we 00:47:56 conditions are gonna run great but we 00:47:56 conditions are gonna run great but we need to be thinking about the what could 00:47:58 need to be thinking about the what could 00:47:58 need to be thinking about the what could bad folks do to exploit these different 00:48:01 bad folks do to exploit these different 00:48:01 bad folks do to exploit these different types of systems under not ideal 00:48:03 types of systems under not ideal 00:48:03 types of systems under not ideal situations yeah so Jim for the the 00:48:09 situations yeah so Jim for the the 00:48:09 situations yeah so Jim for the the mission for the port so you guys are 20 00:48:11 mission for the port so you guys are 20 00:48:11 mission for the port so you guys are 20 years in and you you've been out there 00:48:14 years in and you you've been out there 00:48:14 years in and you you've been out there now for how many years three years three 00:48:16 now for how many years three years three 00:48:16 now for how many years three years three years for you so let's double up your 00:48:20 years for you so let's double up your 00:48:20 years for you so let's double up your term so what is what is a success look 00:48:22 term so what is what is a success look 00:48:22 term so what is what is a success look like three years out from from now on 00:48:24 like three years out from from now on 00:48:24 like three years out from from now on the port may be project tech specific 00:48:27 the port may be project tech specific 00:48:27 the port may be project tech specific but just for the the port overall well 00:48:29 but just for the the port overall well 00:48:29 but just for the the port overall well we'd like to see three years from now 00:48:31 we'd like to see three years from now 00:48:31 we'd like to see three years from now is several thousand more people working 00:48:34 is several thousand more people working 00:48:34 is several thousand more people working in applying technology on the property 00:48:38 in applying technology on the property 00:48:38 in applying technology on the property but more important than that we'd like 00:48:41 but more important than that we'd like 00:48:41 but more important than that we'd like to see it seamless when people think of 00:48:43 to see it seamless when people think of 00:48:43 to see it seamless when people think of San Antonio I don't want them thinking 00:48:44 San Antonio I don't want them thinking 00:48:44 San Antonio I don't want them thinking port San Antonio is where you go for 00:48:47 port San Antonio is where you go for 00:48:47 port San Antonio is where you go for Applied Technology I don't want them 00:48:49 Applied Technology I don't want them 00:48:49 Applied Technology I don't want them thinking downtown is where you go for 00:48:51 thinking downtown is where you go for 00:48:51 thinking downtown is where you go for cloud and app I don't want them thinking 00:48:53 cloud and app I don't want them thinking 00:48:53 cloud and app I don't want them thinking UTSA is where you go for education if we 00:48:57 UTSA is where you go for education if we 00:48:57 UTSA is where you go for education if we can truly start closing this market I 00:49:00 can truly start closing this market I 00:49:00 can truly start closing this market I
