PREMIER MULTI-DOMAIN TRAINING FACILITYETI is comprised of former military UAS operators/instructors and special operations personnel with ties to the local community. ETI collaborates habitually with local, state, and federal first responders. Our personnel have a deep pool of expertise that we draw from. Our goal is to provide realistic and worthwhile training, nothing is cookie-cutter in our approach. We also realize that one single organization does not have all the best ideas or expertise for training so collaboration is the key.Our facility includes 156,000 square feet of indoor space for training as well as 40+ acres of wooded area. The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has sponsored our airspace with an FAA-approved certificate of authorization (COA) so we can fly sUAS above 400 feet, unobserved, and at night. Our two Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) surveyed drop zones (DZ) can support rotary-wing helicopter operations. Also, we have a 75-meter flat range (up to 5.56 caliber weapons) and a 1.5 mile ATV technical off-road track.ETI develops, tests, and integrates emerging technologies to include Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), robotics, and AI with the soldier through an adaptable multi-domain training environment in order to counter emerging threats.STAY CURRENT WITH FLIGHT REQUIREMENTS• USSOCOM sponsored COA• Class G airspace• Available for day & night (tactical) training• Less than 35 miles from Fort Bragg and 147 miles from Camp Lejeune• Experienced SOF/Conventional Force UAS/cUAS SMEs• Counter UAS training spaceADVANCED TACTICAL TRAINING• Full Mission Profiles (FMP) with role players• Tailored tactical scenarios with role players and threat sUAS• sUAS maintenance and sustainment training• Additional offsite locations• Urban & Rural tactical training• Rifle and pistol marksmanship• Tactical training for LEO• First Responder UAS training• AFSOC Surveyed DZs X 3• Off-Road (tactical) on a 1.5-mile track
