Thomas Hauser

Thomas Hauser (Col ’90) has published his second book, Seizing the Electronic High Ground: Transforming Aerial Intelligence for the United States Army (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 2024). In this work, Hauser probes the recent past to explain why the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command is the exclusive manager of the Army’s assets for aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in the twenty-first century and how this outcome has affected the development of networks, aircraft and sensors. Hauser has worked in the U.S. intelligence community for more than twenty years, taught politics and history as a member of the faculty of Shenandoah University, and after graduating from UVA, served in the U.S. Army. He is also the author of Flying in the Shadows: Forging Aerial Intelligence for the United States Army.
