Guam Space Grant Supports Drone Corps Program

Several local agencies and organizations now have federally certified remote pilots in their ranks, with the support of the latest University of Guam Drone Corps program cohort.

UOG Drone Corps, along with partner 2cofly, celebrated its fifth cohort to complete the Knowledge Course portion of the program and attain a 100% passing rate on the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 107b exam.

Passing this exam gives participants a remote pilot certificate, which allows them to fly drones both recreationally and commercially.

All 13 participants successfully earned their certificates this summer.

As a program of the UOG Land Grant system, which works to advance knowledge for the improvement of agriculture and natural resources in the region, the UOG Drone Corps this year opened its training program beyond students for the first time.

Participants included natural resource managers and UOG faculty and staff, in addition to students from the university and the Guam Community College.

The new pool of participants was the result of local agencies and organizations expressing a need for drone technologies in their line of work.
