Overview

Tactical UAS Operations is designed for advanced pilots who support high-risk/SWAT deployments. Participants first learn how to select the right tactical drone for their agency: not all drones are suited for all incidents, so it is important to understand which systems are best suited to each environment.

Next, participants learn the challenges and considerations of supporting SWAT events. Because of the high-risk environment, pilots must be prepared to adapt to ensure the success of the operation. Participants then spend the bulk of the course flying scenario-driven incidents to prepare for real-world deployments, including how to communicate with tactical command.

Finally, participants learn to fly in confined spaces so they are prepared to deploy drones in nonpermissive environments.
