CAP sUAS

NCR MO-129 Senior Squadron and the Missouri Wing is participating in the Civil Air Patrol [CAP] small Unmanned Aerial System [sUAS] operations. In this effort, we assist the U.S. Air Force and various federal, state and local agencies in support of their missions. Our program is involved in all three CAP primary missions: Emergency Services [ES], Aerospace Education [AE], and Cadet Programs.

CAP is the largest sUAS operation in the United States. We have over 1000 airframes and 1000+ sUAS pilots. We still have a need for more sUAS pilots, crew and support personnel. Our largest operational task is producing orthomosaic/georeferenced images for our customers of which FEMA is predominate.

If you would like to serve your community and use your talents, we have a place for you! The first step is to join a local CAP unit!

All CAP sUAS Mission Pilots/ Technicians must also complete FAA TRUST, or The Recreational UAS Safety Test.  Register and take the exam here.

All sUAS Mission Pilots must be FAA Part 107 qualified and have the current certificate. To learn about the FAA qualification, go here.
