US Army creates 390A robotics technician MOS for unmanned systems integration

The US Army is standing up a new warrant officer specialty (390A) dedicated to robotics and unmanned/autonomous systems, embedding experts at brigade/group level to build, repair, program, and integrate drones in combat. The associated 19-week course includes building drones designed to operate without GPS or RF links (AI/ML navigation) and discusses fiber-optic/tethered concepts to resist jamming, signaling institutional adoption of drone-centric force structure and tactics.
