Department of Defense Training
Operators who can build, sustain, and employ unmanned systems in degraded environments without contractor support — from day one.
Operator-level training for rapid capability development, organic sustainment, and mission-specific adaptation. We train warfighters and researchers who need to build, modify, and employ unmanned systems in operational environments — not just fly them.
Your Training Problem, Directly
You have FPV platforms. Your operators can’t sustain them under EW conditions, can’t repair them after attrition, and can’t replicate training without contractors.
That’s the gap we close. Every course in our DoD catalog is built around one outcome: operators who are self-sufficient from day one, in degraded environments, without contractor support.
Recommended Courses for DoD
Advanced FPV Systems Integration & Field Sustainment
10 days | Zero experience required
Build a complete FPV aircraft from components, configure Betaflight for tactical employment, fly precision maneuvers, and perform field repairs without contractor support. SOCOM-aligned curriculum built on Army UALC standards and Ukrainian operational lessons.
Equipment included. Students keep all hardware.
Program Details →Tactical RF Fundamentals for UAS Operators
5 days | No technical background required
Diagnose EW interference in real-time, adapt link configurations under active jamming, and maintain mission continuity in degraded RF environments. The most lethal capability gap in current drone warfare — addressed directly.
HackRF One + PortaPack per student. Ukrainian combat lessons learned.
Program Details →FPV Master Trainer Certification
15 days | FFF-401 recommended
Build a certified internal instructor who can deliver FFF-401-equivalent training organically. Eliminate recurring contractor training costs. Build a sustainable unit training pipeline that scales without outside support.
Full equipment package + FAA Part 107 included. Curriculum licensing included.
Program Details →Advanced Electronic Warfare for UAS Operations
5 days | FFR-201 recommended
Spectrum operations planning, EW countermeasures execution, and direct coordination with S-6/G-6 EW officers in support of joint UAS missions. For units that have FFR-201 and need the next level.
BladeRF 2.0 micro xA4 per student.
Program Details →Operational Edge Computing for UAS
5 days | No ML background required
Deploy real-time AI target recognition and configure autonomous decision pipelines on Jetson hardware. For units integrating AI-enabled platforms into operational workflows without needing a data scientist in the loop.
Jetson Orin Nano per student.
Program Details →Executive Overviews for Commanders & Staff
2 days each | No prerequisites
RF/EW awareness and AI fundamentals for O-4 and above, acquisition officers, and program managers. Make informed decisions about spectrum-contested operations and AI-enabled UAS employment without being misled by vendor claims.
View Details →Unit Training Package
For units standing up organic capability from scratch — one integrated program covering operators, sustainment, and internal instructor development.
Complete Unit Standup
FFF-401 + FFR-201 + FFF-402 + Unit Readiness Assessment
Operators graduate proficient in FPV employment and EW resistance. A certified internal instructor can replicate training organically. A readiness assessment documents baseline capability and identifies gaps. This is the full self-sufficient unit package.
