FPV UAS Operator Course

Tactical FPV Drone Training for Military and Law Enforcement

Advanced FPV proficiency through three pacing tracks tailored to entry experience.

FPV-OPS develops complete First-Person View capabilities from foundation to advanced tactical employment. One comprehensive military drone training curriculum. One set of standards. One operational outcome. The only variable is pacing based on your starting point.

Three Entry Tracks, Same Destination

FPV-OPS-I (Entry Level): Build, repair, and fly FPV drones. Master flight dynamics, maintenance, and basic tactical employment. Foundation for advanced operations.
FPV-OPS-II (Intermediate): Layer FPV operations with ISR support. Target handoff protocols, ATAK integration, coordinated strike planning. Transition from solo to team operations.
FPV-OPS-III (Advanced): Full shooter-spotter operations. Multi-drone coordination, complex BDA, follow-on strike management. Lead FPV-ISR teams in multi-domain operations.

All levels achieve the same end state—mastery of advanced FPV flight dynamics, maintenance, and tactical operations—through hands-on training, technical instruction, and Situational Training Exercises (STX) within T1G’s 777-acre unrestricted operational environment. The program emphasizes real-world tactical applications, ensuring operators are confident and competent in FPV operations for contemporary battlefield and specialized mission profiles.

Build Your Custom FPV Operations Package

T1G customizes your training events to support your operational tempo and requirements. Whether you need standalone FPV operator certification or full integration with reconnaissance, kinetic effects, and ground force coordination, our Project Managers will design the right solution for your mission profile and budget.

FPV-ISR Team Operations

(Intermediate/Advanced Focus)

Modern FPV employment requires seamless coordination with ISR assets – applying the proven shooter-spotter relationship from sniper operations to drone warfare.

The Operational Sequence:

ISR platform maintains overwatch and provides PID (Positive Identification)
Target location dropped as pin on ATAK or similar C2 systems
ISR drone maintains high station-keeping while vectoring FPV
FPV operator navigates to marked target using shared coordinate system
Strike execution while ISR platform witnesses and records
Immediate BDA (Battle Damage Assessment) by ISR asset
Vector follow-on FPVs if effects not achieved

This layered employment teaches operators to think in teams, not individual aircraft. The difference between flying drones and employing them tactically. Intermediate operators learn basic ISR coordination and target handoff. Advanced operators execute complex scenarios with multiple FPVs, degraded communications, and time-critical targets.

Complete FPV Training Progression

Flight Operations: Pre-flight checks through BVLOS operations. Hover stability to high-speed navigation. Obstacle courses through actual structures. Terrain following across 777 unrestricted acres. Formation flying with multi-aircraft coordination. Autonomous flight programming and waypoint navigation.

Technical Proficiency: Component identification to circuit board diagnosis. Battery management for extended operations. Field repairs under time pressure. Custom configurations for mission requirements. Advanced payload integration including specialized cameras and release mechanisms.

Tactical Employment: Mission planning with ISR coordination. Target handoff procedures and ATAK integration. Complex engagement sequences with real-time BDA. Electronic warfare considerations and GPS-denied operations. Multi-drone swarm tactics. Full integration with ground forces during combined operations.

Validation: Every operator completes comprehensive Situational Training Exercises. ISR-supported strike missions. Multi-domain operations with ground forces. Live scenarios replicating current operational environments including Ukraine-style FPV employment.

The Training Environment

777 acres without restrictions. Real ISR drones providing actual overwatch. Live ATAK server for authentic C2 integration. Practice target marking, handoff, and BDA procedures with actual aircraft, not simulation.

Entry-level operators might need 10 days to reach proficiency. Advanced operators with ISR experience might achieve it in 5. The timeline adapts. The standard – including full FPV-ISR integration – never changes.

Why FPV-ISR Integration Matters Now

Ukraine proves that FPV success depends on ISR support. Solo FPV operations achieve 30% effectiveness. ISR-supported strikes exceed 70%. Cartels already employ this model. Your operators need these team tactics today.

This program addresses that gap. Whether your team has zero drone experience or current FPV pilots needing ISR integration, FPV-OPS builds the same operational readiness. Build FPVs. Coordinate with ISR. Execute precision strikes. Conduct accurate BDA.

One program. Multiple entry points. Mission-ready FPV teams.
