• The U.S. Army is likely to use and to lose many SUASs in multiple echelons in future
dynamic, unpredictable military engagements. The Army will need to prepare its soldiers
with broad and deep unit training on how to use SUASs effectively and adaptively in
such circumstances.
• In such a future, the Army will need an ability to mix and match the components and
payloads of SUAS to meet mission requirements and to replace them quickly when they
are lost.
• To prepare for such a future, the Army will need to tolerate higher levels of loss and
damage of its SUASs in training to motivate full-spectrum unit training in their effective
use. An important part of this increased tolerance is likely to be a change in the
application of its Financial Liability Investigations of Property Loss (FLIPL) program to
recognize the high value to the Army of such training relative to the cost of loss or
damage of SUASs during training.
• To prepare for such a future, the Army should, where possible, acquire SUASs by using
the agile pathways offered by the Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) and agile
methods like those used in the Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies
Office, other transaction authority (OTA) acquisitions, and commercial solutions
openings (CSOs).
• In this setting, commercial SUAS systems and components offer the Army many
advantages relative to their government-developed counterparts.

Man darf FPV oder Kleindrohnen nicht wie andere Waffensystem betrachten.
Die Entwicklung ist nie abschlossen. Die offene Hardware und Software Architektur erlaubt zahlreiche Konfigurationen und neue "Features" werden wöchentlich freigeschaltet.
Drohnen Truppen müssen Techniker sein, welche die Drohne nicht nur bedienen, sondern auch selbst modifizieren können, inkl. Ausbildung an Lötkolben und 3D Drucker.
Die Truppen müssen direkt bei den Herstellern einkaufen. Sie brauchen ein eigenes, frei verfügbares Budget.
Für TÜV oder Nachweisführung ist keine Zeit.

Man muss den Soldaten vertrauen.
