Experience Solving a Problem that Seemed Impossible
- Deployed to Afghanistan as Company Commander- Developed reward program for IED turn ins after cash for IEDs program shut down.
- Hacking android phones through WiFi to assess risks of a BYOD program in a defense organization
- Re-engineered and built marine cage system to more easily harvest algae, decrease biofouling, and increase survivability in marine environment.
- Created a tool for tech-averse publishers to easily and intuitively explore a million+ data point analysis of author similarities

Minimal Viable ProductThe DJI Phantom 3
Validating the pain points from the Value Propositions on our Mission Model Canvas.
Cognitive load
Situational awareness– where is everyone?
Accessing inaccessible areas
Customer DiscoveryHypotheses Customer pains revolve around 3 main things:
1) Cognitive overload from many sensory inputs2) Difficulty establish accurate situational awareness3) Inability to access areas due to danger or disaster
Customer gains revolve around 3 main things:4) Enabling reconnaissance in closed space 5) Increased tactical awareness6) Fast deployment of drones
Experiments Describe key features of our drone, and interviewed people about what their current pains are, and what improvements they would like to see.
Results Most points of the hypotheses are validated. Points that were invalidated:
1) Haptic feedback is not recommended, as it is different to sense vibrations while moving/during combat
2) Video black box may be important, but we might still need another way of storing high fidelity mission data for future analysis
Actions Test problem solution-fit: can drones alleviate pain and create gain?
Mission Model Canvas- Threat / Friendly detection using light / sound / motion / indicator / or marking
-HCI - feedback mechanismHaptic = badfamiliar = really important
-Making system easy to use/learn/maintain
- SOF, Rangers, AWG
- Law Enforcement Agencies
- Drone manufacturers (ex: DJI)
- Haptic startups
- Augmented Reality Visualization Companies (ex: Google Glass)
- Primary: SOF elements and Ground Force Commanders
- Secondary: Command elements at TOC/TAC
-Tertiary: Search and Rescue teams
-Enhance situational awareness - Drone becomes another set of eyes, frees up an operator.
-Reduced risk to force- Drone goes so humans do not have to
- video recording to facilitate AARs in training Live video feed-Low cost alternative to costly assets- frees up other assets in a resource constrained environmentMinimize new load that needs to be carried
- Reduces dependence on human capital
-Improved situational awareness for small units in combat
-Demand across SOF elements and requests for fielding from conventional units
- Field test with one unit. Evaluate training method.
- Expand field-tests to multiple units in same deployment context
- With successful field tests, contract COTS vendors to mass produce.
Fixed:- Equipment - drones, development toolkits, - Hapkit: Haptic Starter kit ($50 x 4)- Software design & engineering- Augmented reality hardware & software (equivalent of Google Glasses and relevant developer toolkits)Variable:- Costs of maintenance, updates, and training
-Need current methods used to mark friendly forces- Rank and file soldiers, unit leaders, and commanders.- Support of an automated threat detection system- Military engineers to facilitate integration with systems

Value PropositionKey Activities
Key Resources
Key Partners
- Drones w/ camera (provided by SOCOM)- Augmented Reality Visualizer with developer tools- Access to existing gear and standard equipment- Haptic Specialists to act as advisors- Hapkit- Drone pilots- Soldiers / team leaders
SkyNetUI: Value Proposition Canvas
- Knowing the locations of friendly and enemy forces- Reduced ambiguity- seeing what you can’t see from the ground. Custome

Customer Jobs
Prepare and debrief post-engagement
-Not knowing what’s going on - Ambiguity over locations when coordinating with units on the ground
Command Elements at TOC/TAC
Gains
Pains
Gain Creators
Pain Relievers
- quickly respond to changing situations- ability to effectively target- Better training
- Relaying combat action- Unambiguous, reliable targeting information
SkyNetUI: Value Proposition Canvas
Products& Services
-Drones deploy immediately, reducing strain on limited emergency resources (like helicopters)-Drones provides immediate aid (food/water) to trapped individuals
Customer Jobs
Search and rescue operations- Not able to access areas
after disasters -Difficulty operating in tight spaces - Hazard to human rescuers
Disaster SAR
Gains
Pains
Gain Creators
Pain Relievers
-Fast response to disasters- Fast identification of trappedand at-risk persons-Efficient delivery of aid
- Increased agility- Drones fly quickly through zones humans can’t go- using drones in unsafe zones prevents risking lives of rescuers
Economical, low-costsearch drone fleet
