DAF Reassigns Advanced Intelligence Formal Training Units to ACC

Wednesday, July 8th, 2026

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. (AFNS) —

The Department of Air Force has initiated the reassignment of combat air forces advanced intelligence formal training units from Air Education and Training Command to Air Combat Command.

This strategic move, overseen by Gen. Adrian Spain, commander of ACC, and Lt. Gen. Clark Quinn, commander of AETC, will be a streamlined process designed to align intelligence Airmen directly with combat-focused missions. The reassignment will enable the Distributed Common Ground System and Targeting IFTUs and the Contingency Intelligence Network Intelligence Initial Qualification Course to deliberately integrate operational training courses with operational units.

Air Force IFTUs specialize in developing operational proficiency for intelligence Airmen. These units provide system and mission-specific training, ensuring a seamless transition from foundational skills to combat-readiness.

Directed by Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink, the reassignment leverages ACC’s resources and expertise as the Air Force lead for the Distributed Common Ground System and Combat Air Intelligence Systems. This initiative is expected to enhance readiness, match training with combat requirements and optimize all associated training resources.

“By reassigning our intelligence formal training units to Air Combat Command, we are shrinking the gap between the classroom and the battlespace,” said Brig. Gen. Abraham Jackson, Director of Intelligence for Air Combat Command. “Our Airmen will learn the most current tactics and techniques directly from the operational force, ensuring they graduate highly capable and ready to impact the mission from day one. This reassignment allows us to rapidly inject the latest threat realities into our curriculum to meet the demands of a highly dynamic environment.”

AETC has been instrumental in managing IFTUs and producing combat-ready Airmen. Reassigning these intelligence formal training units to ACC connects the students with the operational experts who are currently executing the mission in real-time.

“AETC is the Air Force’s center of excellence for foundational training, and we are proud of the world-class intelligence professionals our instructors produce,” said Col. Andy Freeman, AETC Director of Intelligence. “This CSAF-directed realignment strengthens the training pipeline by formally linking AETC’s foundational expertise with ACC’s front-line operational focus. This partnership ensures our Airmen are more lethal and ready to confront pacing threats from day one.”

As part of this reassignment, the DCGS IFTU, currently located at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, will relocate to the 480th Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. Additionally, the Targeting IFTU, also located at Goodfellow AFB, will relocate to the 363rd Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance Wing at Langley AFB. The 17th Training Wing at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, will remain assigned to AETC.

An AETC-ACC transition task force will ensure a smooth and seamless transition for affected personnel and their families.

The conditions-based reassignment plan will occur in two phases with the DCGS IFTU and Targeting IFTU transitioning this summer, and the CIN course reassignment occurring in early 2027.

US Army INSCOM Conducts Change of Command Ceremony

Tuesday, July 7th, 2026

FORT BELVOIR, Va. – On Friday, June 5, 2026, Maj. Gen. Rhett R. Cox took command of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), relieving Maj. Gen. Timothy D. Brown.

The ceremony, presided over by Lt. Gen. Michelle A. Schmidt, U.S. Army deputy chief of staff, G-2, brought together senior Army leaders and previous INSCOM commanding generals. Brown served as INSCOM’s commanding general from Dec. 10, 2023, to June 5, 2026. He retired from the U.S. Army after more than 35 years of service.

“Brown led operations that ensured that INSCOM delivered intelligence to drive decision advantage,” Schmidt said. “He optimized the force, strengthened the workforce, and delivered intelligence that protected the force and enabled targeting. You made INSCOM a more agile and responsive command.”

Brown led INSCOM’s 18,000 personnel across 40 countries and 180 locations and orchestrated a historical organizational transformation by consolidating 17 major subordinate commands into 15, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and agility across the global enterprise.

During his tenure, INSCOM and its units stationed around the globe made advancements in critical intelligence capabilities, such as the retirement of legacy aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (AISR) aircraft while transitioning to modern air frames, such as the High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) and the Army Theater-Level High-Altitude Expeditionary Airborne (ATHENA) airframes, that allow the service to see and sense farther than any prior AISR asset.

Brown provided foundational intelligence support for National Defense Strategy priorities and major operations, including rapid surge support during crises such as Operation EPIC FURY where INSCOM enabled critical communications and multi-discipline intelligence support in contested environments. Among his other notable accomplishments, he strengthened global partnerships, enhanced intelligence production and information sharing, and developed and executed data literacy and AI training for over 10,000 Soldiers and civilians, upskilling the workforce to meet future intelligence challenges.

His vision for INSCOM has been to fight and win in contested spaces with his focus on the Soldier outside the wire and in harm’s way.

“Leadership is not about the person at the top. It’s our 18-year-olds that are guarding freedom’s frontier,” said Brown. “They are a national treasure. It’s the reason we serve at INSCOM – to give them intelligence before making contact with the enemy. Intelligence drives our strategy to fight and win, and those Soldiers are the key to defending the nation. They are the best of us, and they inspire me every day.”

Cox, INSCOM’s incoming commander, comes to INSCOM from his previous assignment as Schmidt’s senior military advisor. Before that assignment, he served at one of INSCOM’s major subordinate commands (MSC) as commanding general of U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command at Fort Meade, Maryland for three years.

“Rhett has operational, tactical, and strategic levels of service,” said Schmidt. “He understands operational challenges and INSCOM’s critical role to make sure the Army wins anytime, anywhere.”

In his final farewell to the command, Brown warmly welcomed Cox to the INSCOM team.

“The army built a weapon system in the form of Rhett Cox. There is probably no better prepared MI corps leader having the right job at right time performing the right way,” said Brown. “He’s my friend. My battle buddy. This is the moment to transition to up gun INSCOM and that’s with Rhett Cox.”

A graduate of Virginia Military Institute, Cox commissioned into the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Corps in 1993. Cox has served within INSCOM in other positions, such as the commander of the 704th Military Intelligence Brigade (MIB), deputy all-source collection element chief, 297th Military Intelligence Battalion, 513th MIB Theater (MIB-T), and INSCOM deputy commander. His other previous assignments include deputy chief for counterintelligence integration in the Strategic Competition Group at the Defense Intelligence Agency, director of the Joint Intelligence Training Center at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and the G-2 for NATO Allied Land Command in Turkey.

“I’m extremely honored to be the 21st commanding general of INSCOM,” said Cox. “All of us at INSCOM should never forget our duty to deliver intelligence. It’s been awesome to see this team rally around its commands to support them during recent conflicts, rapid technical change and strategic competition. We will do our best to ensure our enemies cannot operate uncontested in our area of responsibility. INSCOM has your back, and we will ensure you have what you need to meet your adversaries.”

Aerial Intel and Tech Adaptation: 2nd Cavalry Regiment Tests Innovative Drone Technologies at Saber Strike 26

Thursday, May 21st, 2026

Bemowo Piskie, Poland — On May 7, 2026, at Bemowo Piskie Training Area in Poland, three Soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cavalry Regiment (2CR) tested a Group 3 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a vendor during the Saber Strike combined arms live-fire exercise (CALFEX) to explore a potential partnership.

A Group 3 UAS weighs greater than 55 pounds and can fly longer distances than smaller sized systems.

“This Saber Strike CALFEX is showing that right now our platoons have a Group 3 asset, where they’re able to communicate with the intel cell and the fire cell,” said 1st Lt. Ethan Moore, UAS platoon leader, 409th Military Intelligence Company, 2CR. “Our drone can cue on the fire’s assets and call for fire on enemy positions at a greater distance than we’ve had before.”

At the CALFEX, Moore was joined by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Dalton Kastner, the standardization officer, and Spc. Mason Tomplait, the drone operator. The trio met with the Group 3 UAS vendor to evaluate its technology.

There are many advantages to utilizing a Group 3 UAS, which is considered medium-sized among drone capabilities

“Our short-range reconnaissance drones only go from five to seven kilometers; a medium-range reconnaissance might go 30 or more,” said Moore.

The RQ 7B Shadow is what Kastner knows to be the U.S. Army’s medium-sized drone for roughly 20 years.

Comparing this updated medium-sized drone to the Shadow, Kastner said, “This system has extremely similar capabilities, with a much smaller footprint and a much smaller weight, and for me, that’s a positive. This system also has the vertical takeoff and landing, or VTOL kit, so it’s able to just take off straight up and then transition into forward movement.”

After the drone flew out, mission sets were sent to Moore, who coordinated with Tomplait in control of the gimbal camera on the system.

In real time, they could fly to specific areas of the training area and confirm friendly forces, possible enemy camps and target accuracy – all part of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

Today, ISR relies more on machine-driven intelligence rather than the previously human-centered model.

“They’re able to get that long range, very good camera view to see the targets on the ground, to provide accurate targeting grids for us to push fires and to get faster reports,” explained Kastner, “to make those jumps even quicker with accurate and rapid intelligence.”

The combat-support training exercise lasted around 41 hours.

“They’ll be able to use infrared capabilities, and we’ll be able to do everything at night as well,” said Kastner.

With eight years of experience with drones, Kastner feels that the drone was easy to put together and use.

“They even have the controller for manipulating the camera and some of the programmable features in the camera as well, so it’s very user friendly,” said Kastner.

Moore, who’s also an intelligence officer, said the Army needs equipment like this in order for intel cells to find the enemy.

Moore added, “Not only is this craft able to fill a regimental gap in intelligence collection, but it’s also something that’s valid and capable in today’s conflict that we need to enable us for the intelligence collection and fires.”

Moore said when choosing a vendor, they must be able to modify and adapt as new technologies and capabilities emerge.

After departing Poland to evaluate other vendors’ drone systems, Moore and his team went to Project Flytrap in Lithuania — part of a series of exercises (including Sword 26, Saber Strike, Immediate Response, and Swift Response) that turn experimentation into capability.

Project Flytrap is a counter-unmanned aerial system exercise designed to integrate emerging technologies and inform future Army requirements and doctrine.

The Army stays innovative by partnering with vendors and the UAS industry, alongside the real-world feedback from Soldiers.

Steadicopter Unveils Golden Eagle Mothership Architecture for Stand-Off ISR and Aerial Force Projection

Wednesday, May 13th, 2026

New operational concept transforms rotary RUAS into an airborne deployment hub for distributed ISR, strike support and long-range mission flexibility

May 12, 2026 – Steadicopter Ltd., a developer and manufacturer of rotary unmanned aerial systems, introduced an advanced operational architecture for its Golden Eagle RUAS, unveiling a “Mothership” concept specifically designed for sustained operations in contested and denied environments. The concept transforms the rotary unmanned platform into a long-range aerial deployment carrier capable of transporting and releasing ISR drones and precision effectors deep into operational theaters while maintaining stand-off survivability.

Modern conflict environments are characterized by layered air defenses, electronic warfare pressure, and the growing vulnerability of high-value aerial assets. Within these threat landscapes, survivability is no longer defined solely by endurance and range, but by the ability to generate close-range intelligence and precision strike effects without exposing the primary platform. The Golden Eagle Mothership concept addresses this requirement by combining long-distance projection with deployable, low-signature systems that operate directly over target areas.

What differentiates this architecture is the inherent advantage of rotary unmanned systems. Unlike fixed-wing UAVs, the GoldenEagle can conduct stable, persistent hovering for pinpoint deployment of drones at precisely controlled coordinates. This capability enables covert insertion behind terrain features, urban structures, or maritime obstacles with exceptional accuracy. The platform’s ability to operate at very low altitudes further enhances survivability, allowing terrain-masked approaches that minimize detection during insertion phases.

At the same time, the Golden Eagle can transition to higher altitudes to function as a communications relay node, extending datalink reach and ensuring secure real-time transmission from deployed micro-systems back to command centers. This vertical flexibility, low-altitude penetration, stationary hover for deployment, and high-altitude data relay, creates a multi-layered operational envelope uniquely suited for contested environments.

Under the Mothership concept of operations, the Golden Eaglelaunches from naval vessels or remote land bases and conducts long-range transit outside hostile air defense coverage. Once positioned at stand-off range beyond short-range air defense and MANPADS envelopes, the system deploys compact ISR drones capable of penetrating closer to objectives at low altitude and reduced acoustic and radar signatures. These micro-UAS assets deliver high-resolution electro-optical and infrared intelligence directly over the area of interest, generating an additional operational layer of close-proximity awareness.

This proximity layer significantly enhances decision cycles by providing immediate visual confirmation, pattern-of-life analysis, and dynamic target tracking from positions that would otherwise require ground teams or manned aircraft exposure. In high-risk environments, such close-range intelligence can determine the difference between strategic restraint and decisive action.

When required, the architecture also enables precision kinetic operations at extended distances. Loitering munitions or armed micro-systems can be deployed from the mothership configuration, delivering precision strike capability while the primary RUAS remains outside the threat envelope. The rotary platform’s hover stability ensures controlled release conditions, optimizing trajectory and target acquisition from the outset.

The concept is particularly suited for cross-border ISR missions, counter–A2/AD probing, maritime and littoral security operations, special forces overwatch, and strategic infrastructure monitoring. In naval scenarios, the Golden Eagle can launch from offshore platforms, approach at low altitude to avoid coastal radar detection, deploy ISR drones over shoreline targets, and reposition at altitude to maintain communications continuity.

By integrating rotary-wing maneuverability with distributed unmanned deployment, Steadicopter’s Golden Eagle Mothership concept introduces a scalable model for operating deep inside contested environments without increasing exposure of high-value assets. It combines endurance, hover precision, altitude adaptability, and modular payload integration into a single survivable architecture.

With this development, Steadicopter continues to advance rotary unmanned capabilities for modern threat landscapes—where operational reach, survivability, close-range intelligence, and precision strike must coexist within one integrated and flexible system.

The Golden Eagle Mothership architecture is designed to operate as part of a broader, interoperable ISR environment, including participation in the multidomain ISR ecosystem being developed by World View, an Ondas company. Through this ecosystem, Steadicopter is aligning its rotary unmanned systems with stratospheric, aerial, and datacentric ISR layers to support distributed sensing, taskoncue operations, and rapid decisionmaking across domains. The approach reflects a shared commitment to collaborative CONOPS, systemtosystem interoperability, and scalable mission integration in support of complex operations.

3rd Special Forces Group Pioneers Transformation for Multidomain Operations

Friday, April 3rd, 2026

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement and evolving warfare, special operations stands at the forefront of transformation. As the Army adapts to the pressing demands of a battlefield plagued with changing threats, 3rd Special Forces Group is spearheading a significant transformation.

In an invigorated effort to enable multidomain operations, 3rd Special Forces Group is transforming its legacy military intelligence company into a robust multidomain operations company. The move not only enhances the capabilities of special operations but also aligns with the broader initiative to foster interdependence, interoperability and integration across the force.

The transition to a multidomain company is just a small part of a comprehensive transformation strategy aligned with the Army’s modernization efforts. The new structure consolidates the group’s intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities under a single company, highlighting the significance of this shift in operational capabilities.

As battalions across the formation use their forces to meet strategic-level objectives, the newly structured company is taking on an increased responsibility for the training and readiness of signals intelligence and electronic warfare soldiers within the formation.

“One of the key initiatives that we have done is assumed responsibility of the advanced collection training team, which is helping to facilitate a streamlined training glidepath for the group’s [signals intelligence] and [electronic warfare] assets,” said Army Capt. Andrew Reynolds, multidomain operations company commander.

As the company adjusts to its new role in the group, it is returning to foundational intelligence practices, drawing on insights from 1980s doctrine.

“We are analyzing current [geopolitical] events, like the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the large-scale military drills in China, and applying decades-old doctrine to better understand how we can effectively counter near-peer threats during large-scale combat operations,” Reynolds explained as he emphasized the impacts of preparing soldiers for the complexities of modern warfare.

Despite ongoing advancements and an overall transformation of warfighting systems, the company is still developing new solutions to mitigate the challenges of integrating intelligence capabilities with the conventional force and joint partners.

“We are working to identify solutions to efficiently and effectively support the targeting process with real-time data,” Reynolds said. “The networks and systems we use do not always ‘talk’ to one another, leading our soldiers to use slow and outdated techniques to feed targeting.”

To enhance collaboration and integration practices across the force, Reynolds and his company are engaging with Army corps-level commands to execute comprehensive training that tests the company’s systems and capabilities. In line with Army transformation efforts, the formation is exploring the application of future artificial intelligence to feed joint systems, enhancing data analysis and streamlining the targeting process across the joint force.

Meeting the Army’s growing demands requires innovation, adaptability and realistic training. To meet these demands, the company is executing certification, validation and verification training events to ensure the formation’s readiness for deployment in support of large-scale combat and stability operations.

At higher command levels, the company is curating training and an operational support model that meets the unique demands of unconventional warfare in a contemporary warfare environment.

While the special operations enterprise is transforming at an unprecedented rate to meet the growing demands of warfare, no transformation is equal to it. The 3rd Special Forces Group’s tailored approach not only meets the unit’s unique needs but also reinforces the holistic objectives of multidomain operations.

Through this transformation, the multidomain operations company is positioning itself to lead the way in innovative intelligence solutions, ensuring the joint force is prepared to face future challenges.

Soldiers Engage with Advanced Battlefield Sensor Prototypes

Saturday, February 28th, 2026

From Feb. 2-6, 13 Soldiers from the 1st Armored Division, the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), and the Fires Center of Excellence, participated in a Soldier Touch Point (STP 0) at Fort Belvoir to engage with some of the Army’s latest technology under development—FALCONS.

FALCONS, which stands for Future Advanced Long-range Common Optical/Netted-fires Sensors, is set to replace the Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3). FALCONS integrates cutting-edge commercial technologies with advanced military sensors, including the Army’s third-generation Forward-Looking Infrared (3GEN FLIR) system.

Lt. Col. Ryan Welch, who leads Product Manager for Ground Sensors (PM GS) which manages the FALCONS program, said FALCONS will enhance Soldier performance where it matters most.

“FALCONS will improve the effectiveness of the Soldier on the battlefield by improving upon the legacy system, LRAS3/FS3, providing overmatch to our Scouts and Fire Supporters,” said Welch.

Designed for both mounted and dismounted operations, FALCONS pinpoints targets with precision to support a wide range of Army and joint munitions—whether precision-guided, near-precision, or conventional. Its networked architecture directly connects Scouts and Fire Supporters, accelerating coordination and shortening the kill chain.

One of the improvements with FALCONS includes the addition of artificial intelligence.

“FALCONS will integrate advancements in AI and machine learning into the most powerful IR [infrared] sensor on the battlefield to support Aided Target Detection and Recognition (AiTDR), which will reduce the cognitive load on operators,” Welch said.

The STP 0, led by Research and Technology Integration’s (RTI) Sensor Evaluation and Digital Prototyping Division (SEDP), focused on eliciting feedback on initial vendor designs including ergonomics, button layout, and Graphical User Interfaces (GUI).

STPs are testing and feedback events where Soldiers provide insights on how systems or equipment undergoing development will be used in the field. The touch points provide helpful input to vendors, testers, researchers and acquisition experts on the capabilities Soldiers will need.

During SPT 0, Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Agriesti with the MCoE provided soldiers with a familiarization session on LRAS3 – an integral step needed to understand FALCONS prototypes during feedback sessions. Additionally, he participated in the Soldier touch point as a subject matter expert to provide feedback from a user perspective.

The feedback included how the hands of Soldiers interact with prototype components.

“How do they feel, how do they work, are they getting in the way, are they too big,” said Agriesti. “Especially with the new generation of Soldier[s] coming along they are a lot more gaming oriented based on what studies have told us.”

Engineering psychologists facilitated discussion and evaluation in the STP focus groups, meticulously documenting Soldier interactions with the prototypes and their verbal feedback.

Colleen Gerrity, one of several engineering psychologists who evaluated feedback at STP 0, said it is crucial her team is involved early on

“I feel like this Soldier touch point is unique because we are involved at the beginning of the process,” said Gerrity. “This is great because we are able to apply the academic rigor of research, design, and evaluation to ensure that the feedback is robust.

The feedback gathered during the event will accelerate the design process by enabling the early identification and mitigation of potential design flaws

STP 0 also underscored the importance of having fire support specialists and calvary scouts at future touch points, as their feedback, particularly on the GUI and operation of FALCONS, is essential to ensure vendor designs translate into something both intuitive and operationally effective

“STP 0 will inform future vendor designs as they prepare to transition into the initial design phase of the FALCONS prototyping,” Welch said.

He added that feedback from the touchpoint included Soldier preferences on handgrip design and button layout, the benefits of biocular versus binocular display, and the formatting of basic GUIs.

“The information gleaned will result in a more ergonomic design optimized for usability and employment in the diverse battlefield conditions that our Soldiers fight in across the globe,” Welch said.
