HOW WE ENGAGE

Training

Operator & Proficiency Training

Operator onboarding and proficiency training for UAS and detection systems, coordinated with OEM instructors where the manufacturer requires it.

For: units and agencies fielding new systems.
Deliverables: training plan, practical assessment, completion records.

Programs

Requirements & Program Planning

Mission and site constraints, operating authority, CONOPS, policy, standard operating procedures, and sustainment planning for a new or growing UAS or C-UAS program.

For: program offices, installations, and public safety agencies.
Deliverables: requirements matrix, program plan.

Compliance

Procurement & Compliance Review

NDAA and ASDA review of platforms and components, Blue UAS status by configuration, bill of materials review, and acquisition planning.

For: agencies buying and manufacturers entering the federal market.
Deliverables: sourced decision brief, compliance determination.

Disclosed relationships: we tell you which manufacturers we represent before we advise. If the answer is a platform we do not carry, or no platform at all, that is the answer you get. OEM proficiency training is not a substitute for any federal certification an operation requires.

In the Field

Field Demonstrations

We arrange time with the system in the field so operators can handle the equipment and see how it performs in their own conditions before a buyer commits.

We coordinate the OEM, the site, and the agenda, then stay on the requirement through selection, integration, and training.
