A student-built first-person view (FPV) drone soars through clear skies during live flight training in the Operator Drone Basic Course at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 28, 2026. Piloted by U.S. Army Special Operations Forces personnel assigned to 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), the quadcopter—assembled from the ground up in Week 1 and flown after simulator practice—demonstrates the program's success in equipping Green Berets with precision unmanned capabilities for enhanced situational awareness, reconnaissance, and force protection, allowing operators to place robots in high-risk positions instead of personnel on future battlefields.
