Again, I would push back a bit. A cell is fine if we want to reproduce or sluggish system of modernization. We do need one, but only as a focus area for experts to quickly experiment and validate claims, not as a gate keeper. I would propose GSA as the best source for procurement and decentralized training programs through virtual controllers both to refine skills for individuals (think how we sustain a STA platoon or designated marksman after being trained) and to allow the undiscovered to be discovered and employed. Our bottleneck is operators of drones with enough confidence and creativity. Further opening up the wide works of UAS material to GSA catalog accessibility will allow units to integrate the UAS into Thier training and worktops more fluidly. TTECG must tap into this decentralized network to then deploy best and brightest to push our units and call out gaps/failures to modernize.

That’s Australia however for the US I suggest an 11C Army unit with a scout sniper element… problem solved. I even have the new mortar/launcher designed. Most folks need me to change the policy not design anything. I’m here either way, my family has designed and manufactured drones for the military continuously for 80 years. 🇺🇸
