SkyDefense Academy

Training the Next Generation of Tactical Drone Operators and Engineers.

SkyDefense Academy is an initiative by Brink Dynamics to deliver hands-on, mission-ready training in drone technology and field systems. With deep experience in advanced engineering and direct collaboration with Ukrainian defense experts, we offer practical, high-impact courses focused on drone construction, maintenance, and operational deployment.

Our programs are tailored for defense forces, security professionals, and emergency organizations — combining technical know-how with real-world tactics. From 3D printing and software calibration to jamming countermeasures and drone armament, SkyDefense equips participants with the skills needed for today’s rapidly evolving threat environments.

Backed by our in-house innovations — like the FOPAC (Forward Operating Power and Command) system — SkyDefense is where cutting-edge technology meets field-proven expertise.

Defense Training Programs

At SkyDefense Academy, we offer a structured training path designed to meet the growing operational needs of defense and security professionals. Our courses combine technical skills with real-world tactical knowledge — from basic drone handling to advanced repair and customization.

FOPAC: Forward Operating Power and Command

Modular Power and Tactical Control — Anywhere

FOPAC is a field-ready, portable command and power system developed by Brink Dynamics to support tactical drone operations in challenging environments. Designed with modularity and autonomy in mind, FOPAC integrates energy storage, communications, diagnostics, and repair tools in one rugged transport case.

A standout feature is its expandable, stackable battery system — up to 16 batteries can be connected all via a single hybrid connector, handling both power and CANbus communication. This allows users to scale power capacity based on mission needs, whether for charging fleets of drones or powering field systems. The system includes:

  • High-capacity, stackable battery modules

  • Integrated display and command interface

  • Onboard drone chargers and repair tools

  • External communication antennas

  • Support for drone diagnostics and dropsystems

FOPAC delivers everything needed to charge, repair, and coordinate drones in the field — all in a single, mobile case.
