New Pilot Training and Certifications

Learn the C100 tradecraft from trainers who are all former military SOF or UAS pilots with experience from real-world deployments. Regardless of previous UAS experience, our instructor-led training will give your team the tools to quickly and confidently master flying, maintaining, and operating your new C100.

Our trainers are real-world operators who understand your sUAS needs and tactical challenges, guiding small group classes through real-world scenarios in both day and night conditions. We can also train your trainers so your team can expand its capabilities without the need of a third-party. We maintain an instructor to class ratio of 1:6, ensuring every student gets personal attention.

Finally, your team will learn and be certified to fly on your own equipment versus third-party equipment.
