Relevant Experience

Andy Davis, managing partner at Phalanx Defense, is a former F-16 WIC (Weapons Instructor Course) Instructor and is amongst the initial cadre of subject matter experts to urgently develop and field tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for fighter aircraft to engage enemy UAS - an operational gap at the time of their inception. The TTPs developed by Andy and his colleagues have since resulted in dozens of successful enemy UAS shoot-downs during combat operations in the Middle East. Having also served as Mission Commander for successful strategic reach strikes integrating with friendly UAS in combat, Andy offers Phalanx (and those it serves) invaluable first-hand experience in high-risk drone operations.

Andy and the Phalanx instructor network offer different backgrounds (US Navy Fighter Weapons School - TOPGUN, US Navy SEAL, as well as instructors from various US Air Force fighter aircraft) and mission-critical experience in opposition force (OPFOR) and large-force exercise (LFE) employment. The Phalanx team’s large-force integration resume includes high-visibility LFEs that tested National Level TTPs whose outcomes were reported to the Secretary of Defense.

Phalanx instructors have also contributed to developing, commercializing, and operationally fielding cutting-edge technologies and training aids for military and law enforcement agencies including public safety SIGINT solutions, the Joint Simulation Environment, and network-enabled weapons.
