UAS PILOT STAFFING FOR GOCO AND OEM FLIGHT OPERATIONS
You won the contract. You built the aircraft. VVXO fields the cleared, current, mission-ready crews who fly them, on your timeline and at your standard.
The contract is signed.
The aircraft is built.
Every mission still needs a crew.
You own the aircraft and the mission. We supply the people who fly them. Remote pilots, sensor operators, test pilots, and instructor cadre, built for contractor-operated tempo.
WHAT WE SOLVE
Staffing risk is past performance risk. We build your crew plan against the period of performance and deliver a qualified slate for every seat, with a 72 hour target to the first one.
Backfill is planned before it is needed. Our bench holds warm, verified candidates behind every role we place, so a departure becomes a handoff instead of a gap at the ground control station.
We field cleared candidates when the mission needs them now, and we maintain eligibility-verified pipelines for the seats you will need next quarter.
Exercise support, seasonal tempo, and short-notice taskings are staffed from a standing pool of operators who are ready to travel, CONUS and OCONUS.
We supply dedicated flight test and acceptance pilots, so engineering hours go back into the aircraft and the test schedule moves at production speed.
Production acceptance crews scale with your build rate, so aircraft leave the floor flown, signed off, and on schedule.
Demonstration crews trained on your platform represent you at customer sites and trade shows while your team keeps building.
Instructor cadre and curriculum support stand up your customer academy and train every operator your sales team signs.
WHO WE SERVE
TRACK A
You hold the contract and the aircraft, and you answer for the mission schedule. We field the pilots and sensor operators who keep it intact: surge support, backfill, and full embedded crews aligned to your CONOPS and clearance requirements.
TRACK B
You build the aircraft, and your customers expect it flown, proven, and taught. We supply the test pilots, demo crews, and instructor cadre who take the flight line, so your engineers keep building, aircraft ship on schedule, and customers train with professionals.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
RPICs and UAS pilots current on Group 1 through 3 platforms across fixed-wing, multi-rotor, and VTOL, ready to slot into your operating procedures.
EO/IR, ISR, and mission-payload operators who know the difference between flying a camera and working a collection deck.
Envelope-expansion, acceptance, and regression test experience for OEMs pushing new airframes and software builds.
Standardization instructors and curriculum-capable IPs to train your customers, your crews, or your next class of operators.
Short-notice operational surge for exercise support, seasonal tempo, and backfill, scaled up and down as the mission calendar demands.
Long-term crews embedded in your program: led, managed, and quality-controlled as a unit, accountable to your mission calendar.
WHY VVXO
We treat UAS pilots like flight crew, with currency, readiness, and crew discipline managed as carefully as the aircraft they fly. That difference shows up on your mission schedule.
We maintain a curated, pre-vetted bench of operators who are ready to move. Our target is a qualified first slate on your desk within 72 hours.
Currency, platform hours, and operational references are verified before a resume ever reaches you, so every profile you see is worth your time.
We speak contract line items, clearance timelines, and crew-rest math. Requirements translate to candidates without a glossary.
Cleared candidates when you need them now, and clearance-eligible pipelines when you are building ahead of award.
Show rates, retention, and readiness are metrics we manage, because every seat at the ground control station is part of the mission schedule.
Readiness is a staffing outcome.
HOW IT WORKS
A short intake call: platforms, mission profile, clearance needs, location, tempo, and timeline. We build the candidate spec with you.
A shortlist of verified, available candidates with currency, hours, platforms, and eligibility documented. Target: 72 hours.
You interview and select. We handle offers, paperwork, and mobilization, including travel-ready and OCONUS logistics where required.
Ongoing performance management, backfill planning, and surge capacity, so the mission calendar holds even when an individual moves on.
CAPABILITIES
Our bench spans the platform classes and mission sets that GOCO and OEM operations actually run, and we match each profile to your specific requirement.
COMPLIANCE & TRUST
Staffing for defense and government flight operations is a compliance exercise before it is a recruiting exercise. We are structured accordingly.
Candidates for controlled programs are U.S. persons, verified during intake and before any introduction is made.
We track clearance status, eligibility, and investigation timelines as first-class data on every candidate profile.
Our processes are built around export-control boundaries. Technical data stays where it belongs, and our teams are trained to keep it there.
Crew rest, currency tracking, SOP adherence, and documented readiness, managed as deliverables with documentation to match.
CLIENT FAQ
Our target is a qualified first slate on your desk within 72 hours of the intake call. Mobilization timelines depend on clearance requirements, location, and platform, and we scope both dates with you before we start.
Yes. We track clearance status and eligibility on every candidate profile, field cleared pilots when the mission needs them now, and maintain clearance-eligible pipelines for the seats you will need next quarter.
Group 1 through 3 across fixed-wing, multi-rotor, and VTOL. Every profile we present is matched to your specific airframe and mission set, and we verify platform hours before you ever see a resume.
Single-seat placements, surge and rotational crews, and fully embedded teams managed as a unit. Most clients start with one seat and scale from there.
Yes. Our bench includes operators ready to travel and deploy, and we coordinate mobilization, rotations, and site logistics as part of the placement.
Pricing follows the requirement: role, clearance level, location, tempo, and duration. We quote each requirement individually after the intake call, with terms structured to your contract vehicle.
