Designed For Tactical & Operational Support
This course capitalizes on the significant experience of the professional UAV pilots that make up the instructor cadre. We are fortunate to have public safety UAV experts who are flying advanced missions for their agencies regularly. They are able to share the latest tactics, UAV platforms, software, and industry innovations because they are operating daily in real-world public safety settings.
The class consists of three days of intensive scenario-based, hands-on, and precision flight training designed to increase piloting skills and to provide students with the ability to operate in all UAS environments. Students will be exposed to the equipment, tools, and techniques necessary to make their UAS program fulfill the desired mission sets.
We begin by helping students fully realize all of the potential applications of unmanned aircraft and how they may fit their respective agencies. This provides a clear understanding of the UAS agency objectives so that all efforts directly support effectively implementing the identified mission sets. The remainder of the curriculum is precision flight and scenario-based exercises. Students fly inside and outside on multiple aircraft types, using infrared, thermal, and self-illumination views. Guest speakers and prototype UAS equipment are regular additions to this very popular class. Students leave operationally ready with a deep understanding of UAS applications and capabilities.
Students will:
- Demonstrate the skills needed to fly BVLOS or FPV (first-person view)
- Understand and apply techniques for interior operations
- Operate as direct support for tactical team operations
- Operate as direct support for investigative operations
- Examine UAV platform for: Interior, Exterior-high, Exterior-tight, Exterior-persistent
- Demonstrate precision UAV operation for confined spaces and evidence recovery
- Demonstrate UAS operational proficiency in advanced public safety mission-sets
- Demonstrate low-light, interior UAV operation

Description:
Without a doubt, science and technology have transformed law enforcement and criminal investigations over the last century; however, against a backdrop of an ever-changing world filled with increasingly complex threats, society has placed demands on law enforcement and the criminal justice system to continue to advance in unprecedented ways. The solution requires collaboration and continuing research to develop new and improved methods, fill gaps in industry knowledge, skills, and capabilities, and revolutionize training for practitioners in forensics, security, and tactics.
Florida’s Forensic Institute for Research, Security, and Tactics (F1RST) represents such a collaboration – a partnership between academia, practitioners, and the private-sector to develop a state-of-the-art research enterprise that will inform, innovate, and offer cutting-edge training. Through F1RST, our mission is to empower leaders around the world with the knowledge necessary to ensure safer communities by transforming public safety through research, education, and innovation.
To accomplish this, we’ve created a network of sites, containing both indoor and outdoor research and training facilities. The first site, located in Land O’ Lakes, Florida, contains the Thomas Varnadoe Forensics Center for Research and Education, two outdoor forensic anthropology fields for research and mock training, and an intelligence center that will be the hub for the innovation, evaluation, and promotion of new methods to assist with impacting crime, enhancing response to manmade and natural disasters, and ensuring safer communities. The Land O’ Lakes site is also home to the Helen A. Rich K9 Training and Research Campus centered on advancing the field of working dogs in public safety, a hangar for the research, development, testing and evaluation of unmanned systems, as well as a leadership training center to focus on refining and revolutionizing the skills, tactics, and capabilities of first responders across the country. Lastly, the site supports a cyber research and education facility to continue to prepare leaders for responding to threats in a digital world.
