Army efforts to field soldiers as adept as adversaries at using drones in combat are taking a detour from the field into the classroom in an effort to standardize operations training on the game-changing aircraft.<\/p>\n

The inaugural group of 28 in the Unmanned Advanced Lethality Course at Fort Rucker, Ala., has been taking instruction this month to hone a variety of abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis course is a catch-up,\u201d Capt. Rachel Martin said in an Army statement Monday. \u201cWe\u2019re behind globally, and this is our aggressive attempt to close that gap.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course director, Martin built the program from the ground up in just 90 days before its launch at the Army\u2019s Aviation Center of Excellence.<\/p>\n

The soldiers in the three-week course will start by using commercial off-the-shelf drones and simulation software to develop their skills in flying first-person view drones. After 20 to 25 hours of simulator time, they will transition to live flight exercises.<\/p>\n

The students will also learn how to make and fix drone components using 3D printing. The course aims to build a centralized repository of print files for them to take back to their units, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cEventually, we want students to build and test their own FPV bodies,\u201d said Maj. Wolf Amacker, chief of the center\u2019s Directorate of Training and Doctrine UAS and Tactics Branch. \u201cWe\u2019re teaching and learning from the force on what\u2019s possible and how to sustain these systems in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performance data on five drone systems will be collected during the course for use in the Army\u2019s procurement and training decisions down the road, the statement said.<\/p>\n

Many of the students taking the course are \u201cself-taught hobbyists or informal experts,\u201d according to the statement, adding that the learning they acquire at Fort Rucker will allow them to build drone programs at the unit level.<\/p>\n

Although the course is in-person only for the time being, the Army is developing a mobile training package that will allow units to offer it on their own.<\/p>\n

Future versions of the course will cover advanced tactics and one-way attacks using first-person view drones.<\/p>\n

Proficiency in battlefield drone use is a critical aspect of the revamped Army fighting doctrine known as Transforming in Contact.<\/p>\n

Through the initiative, the Army seeks to rapidly field commercial technologies such as drones, electronic warfare systems and advanced communications.<\/p>\n

It was launched in 2024 at the brigade level and is expected to run through 2026. Since its inception, Transforming in Contact has advanced to the division level and into Stryker teams.<\/p>\n

A similar on-the-fly approach characterized the creation of the Fort Rucker course.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of my peers, including myself until 90 days ago, didn\u2019t know how to do this,\u201d Martin said. \u201cNow we know what it takes, how many people, how much equipment, how much money, and we are sharing this information already with our partners out in the force.\u201d<\/p>\n
