FPV course on fiber optics

A three-day course on piloting FPV drones on fiber optics - from terminology to communication setup, drone conversion, and mission execution.

Program

You will learn how to work confidently with a fiber optic system, master the tactics of using FPV drones on fiber, and learn typical failures and how to fix them.

The course is designed for combat pilots of FPV drones, electronic warfare specialists, engineers, defense tech developers and personnel of related units of the Defense Forces.

To participate, an entrance exam for basic FPV piloting skills is required.

Duration: Three-day course

Format: one day of theory in the form of a video lecture or online, two days of offline training with an instructor and an exam

  1. Advantages of fiber optics: signal stability, video quality, EMI protection
  2. Basic terminology: key concepts for work and communication
  3. Technical basics: how fiber data transmission works
  4. Equipment: modules, converters, coils, connections
