sUAS TRAINING + SOLUTION INTEGRATION
WE DON’T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS.
WE FALL TO THE LEVEL OF OUR TRAINING.

Airframes arrive faster than qualified operators.
The Training Division runs on the unit’s timeline rather than a fixed schoolhouse calendar. Basic FPV Build, Basic Tactical Flight, and Intermediate Tactical Flight each run five days on rolling admissions, taken one at a time or as a full progression. Units requiring FPV integration scaled to their own mission profile train in Spring Lake, at a partner facility, or at home station.
OPEN ENROLLMENT
Current Course Catalog: Basic FPV Build, Basic Tactical Flight, Intermediate Tactical Flight
Seats release as they open, so enrollment moves at the pace of the unit rather than a fixed schoolhouse calendar. Each course runs five days in Spring Lake, North Carolina. Students are on hardware from the first morning, through soldering, assembly, firmware, tuning, and flight. One course stands on its own. All three run in sequence.
