The US Army introduces a new three-week crash course aimed at enhancing soldiers' skills in drone operations. Named the Unmanned Advanced Lethality Course, it focuses on building proficiency with drones, including flying first-person view (FPV) drones, and training on manufacturing and repairing drones with 3D printing technology. The course is designed to close the knowledge gap in drone warfare, as highlighted by its director, Capt. Rachel Martin. The initial class has 28 soldiers from different army backgrounds, and future expansions will include advanced topics like one-way attacks using FPV drones.
The inaugural Unmanned Advanced Lethality Course is a three-week class focused on building drone flight skills, aiming to catch soldiers up on drone technology.
Capt. Rachel Martin stated, 'This course is a catch-up. We're behind globally, and this is our aggressive attempt to close that gap.'
Students learn FPV drone flight, manufacturing, and repairing drones utilizing 3D printing, with objectives to provide printable parts for unit use.
The course has a substantial learning curve, as most participants lacked prior knowledge but are now sharing insights with partners in the field.
