The course consists of five stages, including:

• Theoretical block: providing general fundamental knowledge on FPV-type UAVs, piloting, structure, differences from classic civilian UAVs, tactics, and factors for successful mission performance.
• Training flights on simulators.
• Hands-on piloting in the hangar or outdoors on scaled-down or protected FPV models.
• Practical outdoor piloting with combat drones or models similar to them in terms of tactical and technical characteristics.
• The final stage: a theory exam, a piloting exam, and a qualifying “combat” mission.

Training is conducted in crews consisting of a pilot and a navigator. Participation preference is given to military personnel who will soon be deployed to combat.

Upon successful completion of the course, the pilots receive a qualification certificate.

The duration of the training program ranges from 18 to 21 days.

Successful completion of the course qualifies participants to undergo examination for obtaining MOS No. 216 (external crews of unmanned aerial systems (UAS)).

The training is intended for military personnel who already have experience operating multirotor-type strike FPV drones.

Goal: To provide participants not only with hands-on experience operating FPV drones equipped with fiber-optic communication but also with a clear understanding of the key differences, advantages, and specific technical aspects of working with fiber-optic systems.

The program includes both theoretical and practical components:

• Theory: Lectures cover the fundamental elements of fiber-optic communication systems, their advantages and limitations, as well as the specifics of using fiber optics with drones and related ground equipment (such as ground stations, media converters, reflectometers, and microscopes). Additional topics include system maintenance, fiber splicing, and piloting constraints unique to fiber-connected drones.
• Practice: The majority of the course consists of hands-on field training with FPV drones equipped with fiber-optic communication systems and supporting equipment.

Fiber-optic communication makes FPV drones immune to electronic warfare (EW) systems and eliminates dependence on radio frequencies, line of sight, the radio horizon, and other limitations of conventional wireless systems. However, to use these systems effectively, operators must possess advanced skills and technical expertise — precisely what this course aims to develop.

Duration: 2 days — theory and practical field training combined.

The course is designed for military personnel with prior experience operating multi-rotor FPV UAVs.

Course Objective: To provide military personnel not only with hands-on experience using computer vision-based targeting systems but also with an understanding of the differences and specific features of such systems.

The training consists of a theoretical part: lectures on the structure, application, features, and variations of computer vision-based targeting systems. Most of the course is dedicated to practical work at the training ground with drones equipped with these systems.

Computer vision-based targeting systems on FPV UAVs are used to improve the accuracy of attacks and effectively engage targets. This technology assists operators in guiding the drone, even when dealing with moving targets, complex terrain, or signal loss upon approach to the target.

Course Duration: 2 days (theory + practical exercises).

The course is designed to train engineers who will focus on the modernization, repair, and configuration of FPV drones, ground and aerial relays, as well as other associated equipment essential for the effective performance of FPV crew combat missions.

Participants will learn to assemble and configure FPV drones, as well as ground and aerial relays. They will become familiar with the mechanisms of drop systems, servos, camera switching, the use of backup channels, and signal control frequency shifting. Additionally, they will gain proficiency in working with various flight controller firmware and configuring PID functions.

The target audience for the course includes military personnel serving in FPV crews who are interested in the engineering aspects of the process and have basic experience in repairing and configuring FPV drones.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate.

The training program lasts for 10 working days.

This training program is designed for current and prospective technical engineers working with fiber-optic communication systems used in multirotor UAVs.

During the course, you will learn to:

• Assemble, repair, and prepare fiber-optic communication systems for UAV operation;
• Analyze the quality of fiber splices, connectors, and evaluate signal loss both in the system as a whole and in individual modules;
• Perform fiber splicing and connect optical pigtails.

Course Structure

• Theory:
  – Introduction to fiber-optic communication systems;
  – Masterclass on fiber splicing and loss analysis.
• Practice:
  – Hands-on fiber splicing workshop;
  – Quality assessment of fiber and connectors;
  – Preparing the fiber-optic communication system for field use.

Fiber-optic communication makes FPV drones immune to electronic warfare (EW) interference and independent of radio frequencies, line-of-sight, the horizon, or other radio transmission limitations.

Course duration: 2 days (theoretical + practical training).
