Bush and General James E. Rainey, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Futures Command. The event will be moderated by DIIG Director Dr. Cynthia R. Cook and cover a range of relevant developments in Army UAS initiatives. Topics will include defining requirements terminology to distinguish between terms like UAS and loitering munitions, identifying lessons from the Army's experience with UAS acquisition, and ensuring reconnaissance capability through the Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS). The discussion will also cover the Army's strategy for the Replicator and Launched Effects programs and insights from Ukraine's use of UAS to counter Russia's invasion.
