SUMMARY:Armored Innovations Basic Drone Building Course
DESCRIPTION:ARMORED INNOVATIONS\nDRONE BUILDING COURSE\nFrom Components to 
 Combat Capability in Five Days\n\n10–14 August 2026\nSouthern Pines\, Nort
 h Carolina\nArmored Innovations\, LLC\n\nModern combat has proven that sma
 ll unmanned systems are no longer optional. FPV drones\, tactical data lin
 ks\, 3D-printed components\, and rapid field innovation are now battlefiel
 d necessities.\n\nThe Armored Innovations Drone Building Course is designe
 d for the DoW warfighter who needs more than a classroom brief. This is a 
 hands-on\, combat-focused course that teaches operators how to build\, rep
 air\, fly\, and employ FPV sUAS capabilities in support of tactical operat
 ions.\n\nLed by a disabled veteran-owned company with 20 years of military
  experience\, including 14 years in SOF-SMU\, this course is built around 
 lessons learned from real operational environments and focused on one goal
 :\n\nGive the warfighter the skills to adapt\, innovate\, and win.\nWHAT Y
 OU WILL LEARN\n\nDuring this course\, students will receive hands-on instr
 uction in:\n\nFPV Drone Construction\nBuild a mission-capable FPV sUAS fro
 m components while learning how each system affects performance\, reliabil
 ity\, and repairability.\n\nSoldering & Field Maintenance\nDevelop the bas
 ic soldering and troubleshooting skills needed to repair systems in traini
 ng and operational environments.\n\nsUAS Component Familiarization\nUnders
 tand frames\, flight controllers\, ESCs\, motors\, receivers\, transmitter
 s\, batteries\, propellers\, video systems\, and support equipment.\n\nFli
 ght Simulation & Live Flight Training\nBuild confidence through simulator 
 training\, then apply those skills during practical flight operations.\n\n
 Obstacle Avoidance & Tactical Maneuvering\nLearn how to operate FPV system
 s in confined\, complex\, and tactical environments.\n\n3D Modeling & 3D P
 rinting Overview\nUnderstand how additive manufacturing supports rapid rep
 air\, payload development\, field modification\, and unit-level innovation
 .\n\nFPV MANET Integration into ATAK\nGain exposure to how FPV systems can
  integrate with tactical networks and ATAK-enabled mission workflows.\n\nF
 ull Mission Profile Exercise\nApply the skills learned throughout the cour
 se in a culminating tactical scenario.\n\nWHY THIS COURSE MATTERS\n\nThe f
 uture fight will reward units that can rapidly build\, modify\, repair\, a
 nd employ small unmanned systems at the edge.\n\nThis course gives warfigh
 ters practical skills they can immediately take back to their formation:\n
 \nBuild capability at the unit level\nReduce dependency on slow procuremen
 t cycles by developing organic drone-building and repair knowledge.\n\nImp
 rove battlefield survivability\nUse FPV systems to extend observation\, re
 duce exposure\, and support tactical decision-making.\n\nIncrease tactical
  adaptability\nTrain operators to modify and sustain systems as mission re
 quirements change.\n\nExtend training beyond the course\nEach attendee rec
 eives equipment that allows continued development after completion.\n\nSTU
 DENT TAKEAWAYS\n\nEach attendee will complete the course with:\n\nOne FPV 
 sUAS kit built during training\nTravel soldering and maintenance tool kit\
 nFPV system familiarization and hands-on flight experience\nExposure to 3D
  printing for drone sustainment and modification\nUnderstanding of tactica
 l FPV employment concepts\nPractical knowledge to support unit-level sUAS 
 innovation\nBambu Labs X1C 3D printer to continue training and development
  after the course\n\nThese takeaways are aligned with your existing course
  flyer\, which already lists soldering\, sUAS component familiarization\, 
 flight training\, tactical applications\, 3D modeling\, 3D printing\, FPV 
 MANET integration into ATAK\, and a Full Mission Profile exercise.\n\nWHO 
 SHOULD ATTEND\n\nThis course is ideal for:\n\nDoW warfighters\nSOF and con
 ventional force enablers\nsUAS operators\nCommunications personnel\nReconn
 aissance and surveillance teams\nInnovation cells\nSmall-unit leaders\nTra
 ining and modernization personnel\nUnits seeking organic FPV drone-buildin
