Military UAS Training Built for Unit-Level Capability
The only private UAS training provider designed specifically for how military units actually operate — not consumer certification. Operators leave able to build, fly, sustain, and employ FPV systems without contractor support.
The Problem With Military UAS Training Today
Most DoD units have platforms. Almost none have the organic training infrastructure to sustain them.
The Pentagon's drone dominance directive is generating unprecedented demand for unit-level UAS capability. The Army launched its Unmanned Advanced Lethality Course. The Marine Corps stood up six new drone training programs. The institutional infrastructure is moving — but unit-level training gaps remain. Forge and Flight Academy exists to close that gap for units that can't wait on the institutional pipeline.
What We Deliver That Institutional Training Doesn't
Forge and Flight Academy is purpose-built for the operator who needs to be field-ready in days, not the pipeline student who'll see a platform in 18 months.
Ukrainian Combat Lessons Learned
Every course is updated with current operational lessons — EW resistance, FPV employment, and autonomous systems integration based on what's happening now, not legacy range doctrine.
Build It, Fix It, Sustain It
Operators don't just learn to fly. They build a complete aircraft from components, configure flight controllers, and perform field repairs under stress. Sustainment is not an afterthought — it's the core outcome.
EW-Resistant Operator Development
RF awareness, spectrum visualization, and link resilience training that no consumer course covers. Operators recognize when the spectrum is working against them — and adapt in real time.
Documented Proficiency, Not Certificates
Standardized 1–5 capability ratings across five domains. Objective, defensible data commanders can use in readiness reports — not an attendance certificate.
Recommended Courses for Military Units
Sequenced for maximum capability development. Most units start with FFF-401 and layer FFF-402 once internal demand justifies a dedicated instructor.
Advanced FPV Systems Integration & Field Sustainment
10 days. Zero experience required. Complete aircraft build, Betaflight configuration, tactical employment, and field repair. Equipment included — students keep all hardware.
Program Details →Tactical RF Fundamentals for UAS Operators
5 days. Diagnose EW interference, adapt link configs under active jamming, maintain mission continuity in degraded RF. HackRF + PortaPack per student.
Program Details →FPV Master Trainer Certification
15 days. Certifies an internal instructor who can replicate FFF-401 capability organically. Eliminates recurring contractor training costs entirely.
Program Details →DoD-Ready Contracting
All three procurement pathways are open. Proposals returned within 48 hours of request.
