00:00:01,928 --> 00:00:05,761
(dramatic instrumental music)

2
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:25,920
- So, I was originally approached by Jaydo,

3
00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:28,250
in the JAG group.

4
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:31,070
And they asked me if I could come up with a design

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,440
for something of this caliber.

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,380
A prototype to prevent vehicle-borne IEDs.

7
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:38,840
We tested a prototype for a counter-VBIED device,

8
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:41,430
that was inspired by one of our patrols

9
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:43,040
that got hit a couple months back

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,400
by a motorcycle VBIED.

11
00:00:47,324 --> 00:00:51,157
(dramatic instrumental music)

12
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,140
- We had a pretty successful test of the M.A.C.E.

13
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:01,840
Which stands for Mobile Air Cordon Equipment.

14
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:03,290
Named after Corporal Mace.

15
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:05,070
And we tested it, did two runs.

16
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:07,310
The second run was better than the first.

17
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:10,250
So, this is a perfect example of having engineering

18
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:11,870
capabilities in Country.

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,950
We sat down with the requesters.

20
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:15,610
We sat down with Corporal Mace

21
00:01:15,630 --> 00:01:18,340
and had a brainstorm session for about an hour or two.

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,860
We came up with the initial concept,

23
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:21,510
and like I said, within 48 hours we had

24
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:23,180
a hard, physical prototype.

25
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:29,430
(cheering)

26
00:01:29,985 --> 00:01:33,818
