Drone Pilots and Operators Training and Courses, Thermography, Analysis, and Strategic Operations

Drones and the integrated multisensor systems they carry (thermal cameras, optical sensors, LiDAR, RTK, AI modules) are now at the core of innovation in industrial inspections, search and rescue, strategic surveillance, construction, energy, security, environmental protection, cinema, media, and many other fields. Sky Pictures Bulgaria and X-Sky Dynamics combine experience, technology, and expertise in creating one of the most advanced training programs for remote pilots, operators, and data analysts working with unmanned aerial systems.

Our training programs are tailored to the real needs of the industry and are aimed at:

In the modern environment, drones are no longer just aircraft, but platforms for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information in real time. If you or your institution need internationally certified experts in this unique field, we are here to provide one of the best training programs available – for both enthusiasts and professionals, with the possibility of subsequent certification by pilots and experts who have participated in hundreds of projects worldwide, including in heavy industry, offshore operations, rescue missions, and strategic environments.

• Professional pilots and operators
• Organizations operating their own UAS systems or planning to acquire them
• Government and municipal institutions, military, forestry, fire, and maritime services, as well as construction and industrial companies
• Private individuals interested in highly qualified piloting, FPV, thermal, and 3D surveying
