Field representation for tactical technology.

One Zulu takes its name from 1Z — the Air Force specialty code series for Special Warfare. TACP is 1Z3X1.

Paul Klar served twenty-one years in the United States Air Force as a Tactical Air Control Party operator and Joint Terminal Attack Controller, retiring as a Master Sergeant in 2026. He held JTAC certification for fifteen years, served as a JTAC Instructor for thirteen and a JTAC Evaluator for ten — qualifying and certifying other controllers against the joint standard — and deployed multiple times. He served twice as a joint fires advisor and liaison at the joint special operations level.

His later assignments moved from employing tactical systems to fielding them. As a mission systems support officer and senior Joint All-Domain Command and Control subject matter expert, he planned resilient RF and SATCOM architectures across Link 16, SADL, VMF, HF digital, MUOS, and mobile ad-hoc networks; managed geospatial data integration for ATAK and WinTAK; and translated operator requirements into deployable command-and-control solutions alongside engineers, acquisition stakeholders, and senior decision-makers.

One Zulu exists to put that experience to work for the manufacturers building the next generation of it.
