I was responsible for teaching Army NCOIC's and Warrant Officers the entire MQ-1 system in a classroom and hangar setting, and preparing them with the required knowledge to be successful in their flight training. After each class, I would update the course to keep it as current and useful as possible.

- Strategically utilized airborne sensors in manual and computer-assisted modes to actively and passively acquire, track, and monitor airborne, maritime, and ground objects. - Coordinated with pilot, JTAC, FAC/A, and other air/ground assets to ensure 9-line clearance for weapons engagements, and developed tactical engagement plan to ensure desired weapons effects were achieved. - Successfully conducted multiple direct weapons engagements, and provided terminal weapon guidance for other platforms in tactical combat environments. - Significant contribution in first phase BDA and post attack assessments. - Optimized FMV systems to detect, analyze, and determine target validation, and conduct route reconnaissance and surveillance on numerous targets and areas of interest. - Created the first US Air Force Special Operations Predator squadron training and standardization/evaluation shops. - Worked directly for the squadron commander ensuring that the members of the 3rd SOS were held to the highest standards in the USAF UAV community. - Trained and evaluated mission sensor operators in upgrade and continuation training as an Instructor and Elevator Sensor Operator.
