A U.S. Army Soldier assigned to 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) practices FPV drone flight controls using a simulator setup during the Operator Drone Basic Course at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 23, 2026. The FBD simulator provides realistic, responsive training in a virtual environment—complete with heads-up display metrics for altitude, speed, and mission overlays—allowing students to log critical hours before live flights, master sensitive inputs, and develop proficiency in unmanned systems that enhance situational awareness, precision, and safety by placing robots in high-risk positions instead of personnel.
