Inzpire Delivers First Formal RPAS Operator Course for British Army

August 8, 2026

Inzpire Delivers First CFS-Endorsed RPAS Operator Training for British Army

Inzpire has successfully delivered the first Central Flying School (CFS)-endorsed Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) operator training course for the British Army at the Royal School of Artillery. This milestone, achieved under the TIQUILA programme, signifies a deliberate shift from initial fielding to a structured, formalised training framework for uncrewed systems.

The course provides conversion-to-type qualification on the Stalker VXE30 UAS (EAGLE), specifically designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The training was supported by a Lockheed Martin UK-led framework, reinforcing the professionalisation of UAS operators and the deeper integration of uncrewed technologies into core artillery training.

Implications for B2B Defence Suppliers and UAS Industry

This development represents a critical evolution in military UAS capability. For B2B suppliers and defence contractors, this means:

  • Increased demand for certified training systems and simulation solutions that align with formal military curricula.
  • Growing opportunities for sustainment, logistics, and power system upgrades as fleets like the Stalker VXE30 move to full operational status.
  • Heightened emphasis on interoperability and standardisation, as the British Army adopts structured training pathways for uncrewed systems.

According to industry analysts, the formalisation of RPAS training pipelines often precedes broader procurement cycles, signalling potential near-term requirements for additional airframes, ground control stations, and mission payloads. The TIQUILA programme's structured approach may also serve as a model for other NATO allies modernising their UAS training frameworks.

Supplier Solution Note
