AMERICAN DRONES.
AMERICAN BUILDERS.
AMERICAN JOBS.
Ukraine's 500 garage workshops are outproducing Russian defense factories.
America has the resources. But not the trained operators or builders.
America Needs an AIRLIFT
Introducing: The House of the Drone Industry”
Complete framework for American drone sovereignty.
Each pillar strengthens the others.
Starting with Education → Training operators → Creating demand → Building manufacturing → Accelerating innovation
We're beginning with what matters most: Training the workforce.
HOW IT
WORKS
We train a professional, certified, and capable workforce of drone operators and builders.
Services drive demand for drones and accelerate domestic manufacturing capacity.
Airlift connects demand to supply, establishing American drone sovereignty.
Creates A continuous feedback loop that drives sustainable careers, innovation, and expansion of capacity
Read The Book
Learn How America Lost Her Sovereignty, and How to Get it Back.
While America debated pronouns and diversity training, adversaries built the weapons that will decide the 21st century.
China doesn't just make our drones. They control the supply chains, the components, the manufacturing capability. We outsourced our sovereignty for cheaper prices.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
How We Got Here: The insidious assault on Western values that made us dependent on our enemies
Why It Matters: Drone dependency isn't a supply chain issue—it's a national security crisis
The Ukrainian Lesson: 500 garage workshops are holding off Russia while proving distributed manufacturing works
The Path Forward: How America rebuilds technological sovereignty before it's too late
“Excellent read! Thought provoking and a call to action for American entrepreneurs, innovators and manufacturers.
The authors share their past experiences with the difficulty of trying to compete in the drone world with limited success. They spell out a clear way forward that makes a lot of sense.
I believe this book will resonate with small American companies that want to help reverse our "decline" and start making superior products, with American components, in the USA again!”

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
Join The Drone Economy
The drone industry is projected to hit $163.6 billion by 2030. Defense, public safety, infrastructure, agriculture, every sector is adopting drones at scale. But there's a critical shortage of operators who can actually perform.
Employers don't need more people who just passed a test.
They need operators who can:
Execute missions without supervision
Adapt to complex environments
Deliver results under real-world pressure
Scale operations as demand increases
The Precision Remote Pilot Operating System Shows You How
In partnership with U.S. Aviation Academy, the fourth largest flight school in the nation, we bring you comprehensive practical drone training so you know you’re safe and legal when you fly.
