“It is exciting to help businesses and government agencies to safely and responsibly employ drones,” said Jeff Hemming, President and Founder of Carolina Drone Academy. “Often times we hear from organizations that are unsure of the complexities of flying drones in the National Air Space.

It is quite an honor to be recognized as an industry leader for Drone Training and Education.”
"The rapid growth of the unmanned systems industry is reshaping our future by expanding business markets, providing consumers with innovative solutions and even saving lives," said Brian Wynne, president and CEO of AUVSI. "The XCELLENCE awards recognize companies and individuals who are achieving remarkable results with unmanned systems technology to benefit our communities.”
