Who we are
When veterans transition out of military service, many are left asking: “What’s next?”
We created Vets to Drones to answer that question with opportunity, training, and a clear path forward.
Inspired into action
Since our founding in February 1, 2023, our organization has supported thousands of veterans as they navigate life after service, offering not just skills, but a community.

We Are VETS to DRONES
We help veterans enter the commercial drone industry by providing free, industry-standard training and resources. Our graduates earn their FAA Part 107 Certification and are trained to meet National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performance standards.
Vets to Drones was created to open doors for veterans by introducing them to the growing opportunities in the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) field. Becoming a certified drone pilot empowers veterans to pursue meaningful and exciting careers in the commercial sector.
Our partners span the veteran and UAS communities from drone industry experts and disaster response teams, to humanitarian NGOs and veteran-founded businesses. Together, we’re building a future where more veterans can take flight, find purpose, and forge a new path forward.
