Vets to Drones

Our country has gone through a menagerie of conflict but as veterans we must be the backbone of American society and continue to strive towards economic prosperity. We have recently finished a chapter in American history that shows 20 years of consistent war by a volunteer army. Our veterans represent the new greatest generation, but now it is time for us all to find our place in civil society.

The Vets to Drones program is designed to prepare military and first responder veterans to enter the commercial UAS industry and transition into civilian life. The commercial drone industry possesses opportunities that particularly cater to the skillsets veterans bring to the civilian workforce and Vets to Drones is prepared to help each and every veteran make this transition. We are a tribe of veterans who have flown UAS commercially and within the DOD since 2001. Our team's experience spans every military branch, every combat zone and across most UAS platforms that have been seen either down range or on the commercial markets. Each phase of our course is designed to educate new UAS pilots in the craft of UAS operations while simultaneously building the sense of community we desire outside of uniform. Our forward thinking community not only gives veterans opportunities to find gainful employment in the commercial sector, but also enables us to look forward towards a brighter future for America through UAS technology.

If you are a veteran, or know a veteran who is looking for an opportunity to earn a liveable wage in a new and exciting industry, enroll in our drone course!

We are looking for sponsors, donors and foundational grants to fund and grow our nonprofit program. The majority of the funding we receive is used to pay instructors, handle regulatory filing fees and purchase equipment for our graduates. Support the Vets to Drones program and the future of veteran employment in the US by becoming a sponsor or donating today!
