Drones

Description: 

The U.S. Air Force JROTC is actively integrating drone technology into its Leadership Development Requirements (LDR) activities. These activities are designed to enhance cadets' skills in STEM fields, leadership, and teamwork. The JROTC units are participating in various drone competitions, such as the JROTC All Service Championship, which offer hands-on experience in drone flight principles, engineering, programming, and documentation. These competitions not only provide educational benefits but also prepare cadets for future careers in aerospace, robotics, and technology.
