Orion Defense & Protection Agency is a veteran-owned, operator-led training company delivering hands-on tactical drone, FPV, and counter-UAS instruction.
Orion Defense & Protection Agency specializes in tactical drone, FPV, and counter-UAS instruction for military units, law enforcement and federal agencies, security teams, and qualified civilians.
ODPA prepares students for a battlespace and a beat increasingly shaped by small unmanned systems. The team operates from a controlled training site at The Ranch, with open Class G airspace, where students get real stick time and scenario-based training that slideshows and simulators cannot replicate.
The company was founded by U.S. military combat veterans who saw firsthand how small unmanned aerial systems are transforming modern warfare and how rapidly that threat is migrating into domestic environments.
ODPA combines operational experience, course development, revenue strategy, and training delivery under one leadership team.

ODPA fields a growing cadre of 30+ instructors and subject-matter experts from military, law enforcement, and unmanned-systems backgrounds. Instructor identities are not published for security reasons.
Flight instruction is led by FAA Part 107-certified personnel where required. ODPA also draws on 150+ years of combined operational experience across its instructor cadre.
