Army Names Getter to Lead UAS Office, Emphasizes Rapid Fielding
The U.S. Army appointed Col. Christopher C. Getter to lead its Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Project Office, succeeding Col. Danielle R. Medaglia. Getter’s priorities include moving from legacy systems to next-generation capabilities and fielding systems at speed and scale; the Army UAS Marketplace has directed more than $800 million cumulatively to the industrial base, but no new solicitation or award was announced.
