Primary Instructor: Ben Herbert

This course is principles-based and designed to teach students how tactical drones can be effectively integrated into close-quarter battle environments. Students will begin with the fundamentals of drone operation, including flight controls, safety procedures, and drone capabilities, before progressing to advanced tactical applications within structures.

​

Training focuses on operating a drone from within the stack, communicating intelligence to the team, navigating confined spaces, and supporting room clearance and target identification procedures.

The course consists of practical exercises, force-on-paper scenarios, and scenario-based training designed to provide a high repetition count with minimal downtime. Students will gain an understanding of how small tactical drones can significantly enhance CQB operations and increase the safety and effectiveness of the team.

​

No previous drone experience is required, and all training equipment will be provided by NWTGR where necessary.
