Logistics for what's next.
Drone programs, counter-UAS readiness, and disaster response logistics, delivered by a retired Army logistics officer with real-world deployment experience.
Drone programs, done right
From a single remote pilot to an agency-wide fleet, we help you build a drone program that is safe, compliant, and ready to deploy when it's needed.
Remote pilot certification
Part 107 knowledge test preparation and practical airmanship for new and transitioning operators.
Program development
Operations manuals, SOPs, checklists, training records, and maintenance tracking built for your organization.
Airspace authorizations
LAANC and FAADroneZone authorization support for operations in controlled airspace.
Waiver support
Safety cases and application support for Part 107 waivers when your mission needs more than the standard rules allow.
Public-safety programs
Program policy, community considerations, and deployment planning for emergency management and public-safety agencies.
Recurrent training
Proficiency standards, scenario training, and currency tracking that keep your crews sharp between missions.
See the threat before it arrives
Unauthorized drones are a growing concern for facilities, venues, and critical infrastructure. We help you understand your exposure and prepare a lawful, coordinated response.
Under current federal law, authority to mitigate drones (disrupting, disabling, or taking control of them) is limited to specific federal agencies. Our C-UAS work focuses on assessment, detection planning, policy, and coordinated response.
Vulnerability assessments
Site surveys that identify drone-related risks to your people, assets, and operations.
Detection technology evaluation
Vendor-neutral comparison of RF, radar, EO/IR, acoustic, and Remote ID detection options against your requirements.
Policy & legal awareness
A clear picture of what's permitted, who holds which authorities, and how to stay on the right side of the law.
Response playbooks
Detect, assess, notify, and respond procedures, validated through tabletop exercises.
Event & venue planning
Drone-threat planning for special events, mass gatherings, and temporary flight restriction areas.
Stakeholder coordination
Building the relationships with law enforcement and partner agencies that a real response depends on.
