Weapons, sUAS, and Armor Training
What We Do.
Battlefield Vegas Training provides hands-on instruction with foreign weapon systems, armor platforms, and sUAS/FPV operations. We specialize in unique training packages to meet mission requirements so that your personnel are prepared to fight in today’s dynamic battlefield.
These courses provide in-depth training on confronting near-peer threats, hostile adversaries, and coordinating with partner forces. Our experienced team of instructors are dedicated to providing the best possible training experience for our students.
The sUAS training covers small, medium, and large drones and their respective capabilities; how to fly and maneuver with one-way offensive drones, enhancing SRI skills with foreign/non-standard weapons, kit, vehicles, and armor. The sUAS course provides training in daylight, low-light, and black out conditions so students can train for 24-hour operations.
All training is restricted to current US military personnel, contracted employees of the Department of Defense and select Federal law enforcement agencies.
Over the last ten years, we have provided training to the following:
DOE, USA 3 SFG(A), USA 5 SFG(A), USA 10 SFG(A), USA 379 GLD/5 B, USA NTC Cadre, USAF ACC 58, USAF ACC 549 CTS/DO, USAF ACC 20 ATKS/C, USAF ACC 6 CTS/CC, USAF ACC 15 ATKS/ADO, USAF ACC 432 WG/SEF, USAF 556 SQ, USAF 303 FS, the Royal Air Force (UK), German Bundeswehr, USMC 4th LAR Battalion, and more.
Our services
Foreign Weapons Course
Our Foreign Weapons / Non-Standard Weapons training programs provide air and ground personnel with comprehensive familiarization on foreign and irregular weapon systems commonly encountered in global operational environments. Instruction includes weapons history and proliferation, assembly and disassembly, system function and employment characteristics, safe disabling procedures, and VIS/RECCE identification.
Courses are mission-tailored to meet unit-specific operational requirements and threat profiles.
- AFRICOM Course
- SOUTHCOM Course
- CENTCOM Course
- INDOPACOM Course
- Ukraine Conflict Course
- M134 “Minigun” Course
Foreign Armor Course
The Armor Familiarization and Training course provides comprehensive instruction for both air and ground elements, developing an in-depth understanding of friendly and adversary armored platforms. The course expands upon standard VIS/RECCE training, integrating platform recognition with hands-on operational context. Students receive instruction on the operation and crew functions of representative armored vehicles to better understand crew roles, system capabilities, and vulnerabilities, enhancing both ground maneuver awareness and sUAS-supported reconnaissance operations.
This training enables students to more effectively identify, assess, and support armored elements through integrated air–ground coordination and unmanned systems employment.

sUAS and FPV Drone Training
We offer two distinct sUAS training courses, each focused on a specific operational skill set. The first course concentrates on FPV drone operations, training students to pilot FPV platforms configured with inert payloads to conduct precision engagement simulations against dynamic, moving targets.
The second course focuses on the development of surveillance, reconnaissance, and intelligence (SRI) capabilities through the employment of sUAS equipped with thermal imaging systems during low-light and limited-visibility conditions. Students are trained to detect, classify, and identify personnel and equipment while operating in realistic operational environments.
To enhance realism and contextual awareness, training incorporates night vision devices, inert weapons, and other representative equipment, supporting safe, immersive instruction aligned with real-world mission conditions.
Training Aids, OPFOR, and Contracting Capabilities
We understand the challenges involved in obtaining approval and transporting sensitive equipment across the country to conduct training. To support this process, we provide NVGs, dummy guns, and more to create a more realistic training environment. Our goal is to ensure that students can train in conditions that closely mirror real-world scenarios.
"The training in Las Vegas was top-notch. My experience was beyond what I expected, and the instructors were knowledgeable, professional, and experienced."
