A good number of these Soldiers have advanced degrees and IT certifications , and they are skilled at bridging the gap between scientists , engineers , and Soldiers in the field . Lt . Col . Andrew Miller , an innovation officer with the Support Group , has a background in corporate project management and has played a key role in the 75th ' s collaboration with the Army Research Laboratory on the DARTS program . The Soldiers from the 75th have been valuable in providing feedback and suggestions during testing of advanced technology platforms like the K1000ULE Unmanned Aerial System for Future Vertical Lift initiatives . Andrew Miller , the innovation officer with Support Group , 75th U . S . Army Reserve Innovation Command , had a chat with Jeffrey Houser , the lead research scientist for DARTS at the Army Research Lab , and U . S . Army Maj . Johannes Halthen , the division collection manager for the 1st Armored Division , on March 7 , 2024 in Fort Irwin , Calif . They were discussing the best applications for the Deep Autonomous Reconnaissance & Targeting Sensing program . Miller worked together with scientists and engineers from Army Research Lab to help them understand the technical requirements and operational considerations when Army units use DARTS on the battlefield . Around 40 75th USARIC Soldiers were present at Fort Irwin for Project Convergence Capstone 4 , which was a U . S . Army experiment that allowed warfighters from the United States and partner nations to test advanced systems that support multidomain operations . Many of these Soldiers specialize in robotics , machine learning , and project management in their civilian careers , which makes them well - qualified to work with designers and end users to improve various technologies . They have expanded their services to Future Vertical Lift , which is a key priority in the Army ' s Transformational Enterprise . The FVL Cross Functional Team aims to modernize Army aviation by improving speed , range , and coordination in different operational environments .
