U.S. Army and Tintri Combine Forces to Train Us Army Drone Pilots

Customer Case Study

The US Army’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operators are remote pilots of observation aircrafts (or drones) that gather intelligence used in operational tactics. As intelligence specialists, the drone pilots are integral to providing US Army personnel with information about enemy forces and battle areas. The UAS Joint Technology Center/Systems Integration Laboratory (JSIL) is the IT center responsible for testing, developing, and maintaining the software and hardware for the Army’s drone and missile programs.
