Veteran Drone Program

EXUGO Ops

At EXUGO™ we believe the future of this country's safety will be dependent on drones. Just as Americans have the right to bear arms, we believe drone literacy will become equally fundamental to national defense. 

A conflict on U.S. soil may one day be decided not by boots on the ground, but by swarms of unmanned aircraft and if that day comes, Americans should be ready.

We envision a civilian drone reserve, trained, skilled, and prepared, just like the Army Reserve or Coast Guard. Drone-capable citizens who can respond when it matters. Preparedness starts with training. 

Veterans leaving active service have discipline, technical aptitude, and mission focus that make them natural drone operators. A career in drone operations is a real, growing field and EXUGO Ops is here to bridge that transition, whether you're pursuing aerial inspection, mapping, cinematography, search and rescue, or launching your own operation.

To fund this mission, EXUGO™ donates 10% of its profits to EXUGO Ops, sponsoring eligible veterans and non-mobilized reserve members with free drone training and software access, up to $500 in value. 

Upon completion of our new studio, we will also offer paid, hands-on flight training and classroom instruction open to any U.S. citizen including programs for corporations investing in drone technology.

Veterans are encouraged to fill out the application below. We'll be in touch within 5–7 business days.
