Naming the Drone Meisters
With a little help from Norse Mythology
The people who employ commercial drones for warlike purposes frequently festoon them with items of the electronic, pyrotechnic, or explosive persuasion. Indeed, such modification, much (if not most) of which takes place in the field, has become so common that it makes no sense to separate the operators of store-bought flying robots from those who embellish them prior to launch.
With that in mind, I propose that we name the people who perform these intertwined tasks of Assembly, Employment, Surveillance, and Immediate Repair after the war gods of the North, the AESIR.
Of course, there is a limit to what one can do with electrician’s tape, hand-grenades, and burner phones. For that reason, the AESIR will often need the help of the ALFAR, the fair folk who specialize in Alteration, Logistics, Fabrication, and Advanced Repair.
As was the case with their mythological namesakes, the ALFAR form two tribes. Thus, there will be Light Elves, who delight in electronics, and Dark Elves, who devise devices of a more volatile nature.

Don't use up the good names. Wait until the women get involved. The dirty fighting is just beginning. Back in the day my wife figured out mutiboxing on her own for Everquest. Becoming an unholy terror. I see a very unmanly world war coming.
Constructing acronyms that are both functional and creative is very hard to do, but yet you have managed to so, not once, but twice! Congratulations.
