Drone NIST Course

3D Printed NIST sUAS Training Course

Build a portable NIST-style sUAS training and proficiency course with this 3D-printed training set designed for drone pilots, public safety UAS programs, instructors, and training teams.

The course components are designed with portability in mind. The buckets stack together for compact storage, while the stands can be disassembled when not in use, making the complete setup easier to transport between training locations.

Includes

• 15–20 3D-printed buckets
• 3–4 disassemblable stands
• NIST quick-start pamphlet
• Training targets

Designed for UAS Training

This kit can be used to create structured drone training exercises inspired by NIST small UAS test methods. It is ideal for practicing aircraft control, positioning, maneuvering, camera operation, and pilot proficiency.

Portable & Easy to Store: Stackable buckets and removable stand components help reduce the amount of storage space required.

Great for Public Safety UAS Programs: A practical training option for law enforcement, fire departments, emergency management, search and rescue teams, and other professional drone programs.

3D Printed Construction: Components are 3D printed and may have minor cosmetic variations that do not affect their intended use.
