J6: Probably needs at least a guide to give some guidance. Happy to work with TT. No issues with concept

As J7NCOIC
If it adds new functions we need to have it in the FM before it should be used in missions

On behalf of UAS, It doesn't add any functionality not provided by existing mods but we will be addressing all of the attack sUAS usage with the implementation of sUAS (Attack) Operator and sUAS Attack Team leader roles

Would require some thought from both j6 and j7 as this is quite a significant depature from how we are used to employing UAVs.
How do we employ this, does a seperate element get a vehicle full of them?
Is it still under directive of a FAC or would it be closer to indirect fire support but just human guided?

The mod is approved in principle but requires some additional thought before actually getting implemented and used.
