“I’ve been given the opportunity to work on operations with the Defense Innovation Unit that deal with autonomous testing in service of the U.S. Army. Coming from a military family, I have always admired my dad's service to our country of Fiji, and now I am excited to follow in his footsteps in a more futuristic manner, serving the U.S. Army.”
– Lia Tikoirotuma, Vehicle Test / SWQ Operator
