Graduate of the Federal Executive Institute (FEI)- LDS-437. After retiring as an intelligence officer with the U.S. Army, Hans went onto lead highly visible, high-pressure projects in autonomous systems research, artificial intelligence (A.I.) 5G initiatives, and cybersecurity/risk management programs for the intelligence community, including the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) the National Security Council (NSC), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Published researcher in both the scientific and social science arenas. Successfully winning grants and contracts to further test and evaluate original research. Notable experience includes research and systems engineering, which led to grants and contracts for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research and the creation of an advanced multiple fuel system where he operated the world's first and only helicopter that flies on five separate fuels without engine modifications. Research extends into emerging and disruptive technology for offensive and defensive missions supporting U.S. and coalition operations. Expertise focuses on determining the specific uses, exceptions, and allowances for robotics operations, including studying the unintended consequences, future applications, and misuse of such technologies.
