The report would examine whether it is advisable and feasible to set up a Drone Center of Excellence within the Army National Guard at a National Guard training site. The report must consider whether the center could certify drone operators during annual training and develop doctrine, tactics, and procedures for drone use. It must also consider testing artificial intelligence for target recognition and situational awareness, and holding force-on-force drone exercises with infantry, armor, and joint units.
