Who We Are
MISSION
EQUIPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
TRAINING
526 Solutions provides specialized training, subject matter expertise, and equipment to US government entities that enable operators to sense, understand, decide, and act across contested environments.
We specialize in purpose built attritable robotics systems (ground, air, and maritime) and kits, red cell UAS services, and special reconnaissance capabilities, equipment, and training aids.
TRAINING
EQUIPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
TRAINING
Effective operations in today's contested, multi-domain battle-space require training and technology that constantly stay relevant to the current and emerging threat environment - in the air, on the ground, and in the water.
We deliver affordable, adaptable, operator-sustainable capabilities that reduce vendor lock, lower lifecycle costs,
Effective operations in today's contested, multi-domain battle-space require training and technology that constantly stay relevant to the current and emerging threat environment - in the air, on the ground, and in the water.
We deliver affordable, adaptable, operator-sustainable capabilities that reduce vendor lock, lower lifecycle costs, and provide enduring operational advantage at the tactical edge.

EQUIPMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
To complement our training, we offer equipment like digital survey devices, arming devices, FPV drone kits, open source digital tool kits, analytical software, and other bespoke solutions to address specific customer requirements.
526 Solutions offers a full range of mechanical, electrical, computer, and software engineering services as well as an additive manufacturing capabilit.y
Training
full and part-time contractor support for specialized TRAINING
ROBOTICS
Learn how to make multiple types of NDAA compliant, low cost, attritable FPV platforms capable of varied flight profiles from ISR to OWA with simulated payloads and payload release mechanisms and a variety of link options
Can include discussions on 3D printing of components and spare parts, and component related discussions on the tradeoffs between range, flight time, weight, and cost.
Includes UAV, USV, and UGV platforms.
SNIPER OPERATIONS
Courses can be tailored to cover many of the following military sniper skills:
- basic and advanced marksmanship techniques
- field craft
- special reconnaissance skills,
- urban and rural hide construction
- urban movement and observation
- high angle shooting
- counter sniper techniques
- ballistics testing
- loophole construction and firing
- aerial operations
- close proximity engagement.
RED/BLUE CELL
In an operational environment characterized by hybrid threats, contested spectrums, and near-peer adversaries, a modern red cell must do more.
526 replicates adversary UAS actions in permissive, degraded, contested, or denied EW environments and can perform ISR, dropper, or OWA missions using ELRS or Crossfire, GPS waypoint navigation, or fiber optic control with multiple drones simultaneously.
Finally, we advise friendly forces on robotics and special reconnaissance TTPs and best practices.
526 Solutions: Sense. Understand. Decide. Act.
Technology Products and development
Rapidly deployable, rugged, purpose-built kits and training aids.
HEDGEHOG DIGITAL SURVEY DEVICE
Our devices offer passive RF Awareness for small teams:
- 8-Channel Wi-Fi Collection
- Bluetooth Collection
- GPS-Tagged Surveys
- Vehicle and Dismounted Operations
- Passive RF Detection
- Open Architecture
- TRACE Compatible
ELECTRONIC SAFE AND ARMING DEVICE (ESAD)
Attritable, low-voltage safe and arming devices designed to control the firing of training payloads integrated with UAS platforms. The 526 ESAD has two physical safeties before fully arming, a configurable operator-egress countdown, and a selectable mission timer that severs the electrical connection with the payload after the time expires to allow safe recovery of drone and payload. Our ESAD can operate independently or to integrated with the onboard computer.
FPV DRONES, ROBOTICS KITS, EFFECTS KITS
Commercially available, NDAA compliant, 1", 5", and 10" FPV drones both fully assembled and as training kits.
We also offer training effects kits including droppers and one way attack (OWA) simulated payloads and ancillary components like CO2 cartridges, electric matches, and airsoft grenade hulls.

About 526 Solutions
LEADERSHIP
526 Solutions is supported by a leadership team with operational and industry experience, including Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) plank-holders and senior professionals with more than 20 years of experience across government programs, applied technology, and product and service delivery.
PERFORMANCE
526 has demonstrated consistent performance and exceptional service while maintaining workforce stability, effective program management, and disciplined cost control and sustaining high levels of customer satisfaction. The company maintains the ability to deliver consistent training quality, meet evolving mission requirements, and rapidly adapt to schedule or operational changes without degradation to performance.
OUR EDGE- THE BEST SOF SMEs
526 instructors and subject matter experts are specially selected and retained, and bring recent operational experience, current tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) expertise, and formal instructor qualifications, ensuring training remains relevant, realistic, and aligned with evolving threat environments. Additionally, we are capable of bringing in civilian SMEs when a red cell requirement calls for truly creative solutions to emulate modern adversary actions.
CASE STUDY - MARSOC LRC
In 2026, 526 Solutions and Threat Tec teamed to stand up the MARSOC Lethal Robotics Course (LRC), which teaches Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Systems (IRAS) at the tactical edge. We also helped design affordable, configurable NDAA compliant systems and software to outfit the Raider teams and currently provide full time contractor and equipment support to the course. Finally, we have developed and manufactured Electronic Safe and Arming Devices, effects devices for training like droppers and one way attack (OWA) simulation devices, and other components necessary to continue to evolve the course.
