Vets to Drones helps veterans prepare to enter the commercial drone industry by providing training and free resources to veterans across the US to ensure their success in the commercial drone industry.
Our remote pilots are placed at the forefront of many drone companies preferred hire list due to the extensive training provided by Vets to Drones.
We teach valuable data collection skills including photogrammetry, LiDAR scanning, object evaluation, telephone pole/ tower inspection, terrestrial surveying, and more to grant each veteran the opportunity to enter into high valued jobs across the US to not only benefit the veterans but also the companies that they will work for.

Development
Operation STEM Gateway is what we call our commitment to promoting STEM education in K-12 schools by introducing students to the exciting world of drones.
We believe that by exposing young students to this emerging technology, we can help spark their interest in STEM fields and encourage them to pursue careers in this growing industry
We help to provide hands-on learning opportunities that teach children about the science and technology behind drones, as well as their many practical applications.
K-12 STEM
Gateway
Our disaster response team provides training, manpower, and support to facilitate quick response using drones to a variety of natural disasters.
We provide aerial surveillance, scouting. mapping, search & rescue, and support recovery efforts for the hardest hit areas as well as views of hard to reach areas to evaluate the extent of any damages.
We remain dedicated to the rebuilding efforts, conducting real-world missions that make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected.
In our commitment to ongoing disaster recovery, we continuously develop our program to respond with increasing efficiency to natural catastrophes. Our recent operations included a significant deployment in the wake of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, where our team has been actively engaged on the ground immediately after the hurricane and continues to be actively engaged to date.
Disaster
Response
Working with the international NGO, One Tree Planted, we have helped plant and catalog thousands of trees across Florida and California and we are preparing to make this a global initiative soon.
Counting and planting trees helps promote improved vegetation, planning, and resource management in areas that are at risk of catastrophic fires and floods across the US.
Trees play a vital role in maintaining the liveliness of communities. Vets to Drones plays a crucial role by collecting the data from each reforestation site using drones.
Conservation
Research has demonstrated that drone technology can be a valuable form of recreational therapy for veterans struggling with various mental and physical disorders associated with their military service.
Vets to Drones provides an effective method for recreational therapy by providing a safe and engaging environment where veterans can revel in their camaraderie while improving the physical and mental well-being of veterans coping with the after-effects of military service.
Drones offer a safe and engaging activity that can help alleviate symptoms of PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, loneliness, and other mental and physical health conditions.
