VALOREM PER INTEGRITAS

Value through Integrity

Pragmatic Subject Matter Experts: The inspiration behind The Tactien Group

TACTIEN (TACT-tee-in) Latin:       To approach with a tactical or methodical mindset.

The commercial UAS industry has matured in ways that not many predicted. While all industries evolve over time, I’m not sure anyone thought the industry was going to shake out the way it has over the past 10 years. Furthermore, I’m almost positive no one will be able to predict the actual future of the industry 10 years from now…. except that it will exist.


Rapid technological advancements, shifting market dynamics, ever-changing unrealistic consumer preferences (largely due to vendor misrepresentations), massive consolidations/exits, and a regulatory roadmap goal post that moves every time you blink your eyes, have left everyone in the industry in a state of confusion. So now what?


What if there was an organization out there that supported the end-user? An organization that was not pressured by aircraft/software/service sales but by the success of the end-user. It would need to be a team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who have uniquely (1) lived through the good/bad/ugly of this industry, (2) worked directly with the technology, and (3) have sat in the board rooms with these end-users to plead the business case. Tactien is a team of unbiased and qualified professionals who can connect the dots between what tangible technology exists, why (or why not) to integrate it into your workflows, and how.


The Tactien Group


The Tactien Group was founded with a singular vision: disseminating and bridging the gap between theory and practice by providing expert guidance that is both strategic and executable. There is a pressing need to understand the truths of UAS technology, how it integrates with manned aviation, what is real, and what may be real one day.


Tactien not only offers high-level strategic advice for the critical infrastructure sector but will also roll up its sleeves to help clients implement those strategies effectively.


Innovation AND Integrity (not OR)


Tactien’s refuses to provide value unless the value is based on innovation and integrity. In an industry rife with overpromises, many players in the field tout speculative capabilities that may never materialize. We have fallen victim to this much like everyone else.


We are going to ask the tough questions of the industry. We are going to ask to peak under their hoods in the interest of your investment proving fruitful. Then, we are going to provide you with strategic insights that are grounded in reality. Tactien ensures its clients are equipped for success from the outset, avoiding costly missteps and achieving effective, pragmatic solutions.


Who We Are


At the heart of The Tactien Group's philosophy is the belief that true expertise goes beyond academic knowledge and theoretical frameworks. Our team is composed of SMEs who have honed their skills over 100+ years of hands-on experience. The Tactien team is arguably the most uniquely qualified group of individuals to deliver on our objectives. We are a team of UAS and manned aviation of experts from various aspects, including flight operations, R&D, technology, finance, regulatory, and economics.


We bring a wealth of practical insights that can only be gained from being on the flight lines, solving real-world problems, driving long term results, and quite frankly made mistakes along the way. Our team has held leadership positions in renowned organizations, managed large-scale projects, and navigated some of the most complex aviation challenges to date.


               Tactien is not only an assembler of our customer’s strategies, but also an assembler of industry. We cannot change the industry by ourselves, but we can bring the best pieces of industry with us to your table.


What We Do


  • Strategy Development:  We help organizations develop long-term Aviation Technology Strategies that align with their goals that are both tangible today and future-proofed for tomorrow.

Customer-centric Performance

Our formula for success is backwards, on purpose.


  Success begins with honesty and transparency in understanding what your pain points are.  We work backwards with our clients to collaborate and co-create customized solutions sets that are actionable and reliable.. While we may not be part of your internal team, we are an extension of support, bolstering your success.


No two end-user organizations are alike, and we recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach will never work. We invest the time in understanding who your organization is, your specific challenges, and then talk about getting to work. Your success is our success.



We’ve only just begun…


The Tactien Group is more than just a consultancy; it is a vision brought to life by a team of dedicated professionals who are (1) passionate about making a difference and (2) tired of watching customers fail on the back of a confusing, complicated, and volatile industry.


Make absolutely no mistake, the UAS industry is here to stay and there is value here, if you know how to find it. But the only way to move forward successfully is to utilize capabilities in a way that is both valuable today AND tomorrow (not OR). We believe that through innovation, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we together can reshape the landscape of the UAS industry and set new standards for success.
