This presentation will address the growing interest in, and challenges with, Human-Machine Teaming (HMT).
Navigating Challenges in Australia's Defence Strategy: Enhancing Deterrence Through Cultural IntelligenceShane IvimeyAustralian Defence ForceThis b
The 'poor man's air force' is a term for employing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hobbyist drones or uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) to strategic level military effect, and that effect cannot be understated (Waters, 2018; Nadeau, 2022; Shift, 2023). The ability for terror organisations to coordinate multiple layers of effects, including using COTS drones, to destroy Command and Control (C2) nodes in Israel causes alarm. Couple this with the use of COTS drones for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, strike and battle-damage assessment missions, and the threat posed by what are essentially toys is alarmingly real.

The 2024 Air and Space Power Conference delivered the inaugural Clear to Launch Junior Aviator Symposium (CTLJAS).
Limited by resources and size the F-35 was the best, and largely only, option available to the ADF that guaranteed long term defense interests.
The Background
Multiple challenges are coming fast and simultaneously creating a future operational environment of unprecedented complexity. For example:
Warrant Officer (WOFF) David Turnbull provided his insight and point of view (Turnbull, 2023) on the struggle of getting the best people into Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG). Whilst it is a great read and the scene is set for further nail-biting episodes, the one standout observable from my point of view is that his theme is focussed on the ability or struggle of encouraging Enlisted Aviators to seek employment within CASG.
