Designed For Tactical Operational Support and Nighttime Operations


The Tactical sUAS Operators portion is three days of intensive training designed to increase piloting skills and provide students with the ability to operate in non-traditional sUAS environments.  Students will be exposed to the equipment, tools, and techniques necessary to expand their sUAS program for the tactical environment.  Each day will consist of four hours of classroom instruction and four hours of flight instruction, applying sUAS capabilities to real world scenarios.  Students will:

  • Understand and apply techniques for interior operations
  • Develop teaming concepts for use with other units or capabilities
  • Utilize the sUAS as point and overwatch during tactical scenarios
  • Understand Weight & Balance and Center of Gravity considerations for sUAS
  • Identify issues associated with working in controlled airspace
  • Operate as direct support for tactical team operations

The Night Operations portion fulfills the knowledge based requirements necessary to obtain a waiver for Part 107.29 Daylight Operations. The Federal Aviation Administration limits sUAS use to daylight hours unless certain conditions are met.  In order to be operational 24-hours a day, organizations must acquire a waiver to operate during the hours of darkness.  At a minimum, remote pilots must know the requirements to operate at night; including aircraft equipment.  The FAA maintains that an “applicant must assure all required persons participating in the small unmanned aircraft operation have knowledge to recognize and overcome visual illusions caused by darkness, and understand physiological conditions which may degrade night vision.”  Students will:

  • Receive six hours of nighttime flying (accomplished unaided and aided with FLIR technology)
  • Use thermal imagery technology in the first responder environment
  • Demonstrate support of nighttime public safety operations
  • Understand the effects of physiology on night operations
  • Identify visual illusions associated with night flying
  • Develop techniques to mitigate the risks of night operations
  • Examine equipment requirements for operating during hours of darkness
  • Create a risk mitigation strategy for night operations
