ELITE UAS TEST & TRAINING FACILITY


MultiDomain Autonomous Systems CoE

COA Approved Air Operations | Moody MOA | 8,000 Private Acres

Controlled Airspace Advanced AdditiveManufacturing

INTEGRATED

Test, Development & Repair

Integrated training, test and evaluation environment where teams can validate, iterate, repair, and execute in one place.

TRAINING SCHEDULE
By far the best location we have operated from for our training. Long, hard days and nights in austere terrain, then a comfortable place to refuel and recharge for the next evolution. The lodging is dialed in, and the meals are out of this world. That recovery directly impacts performance and training effectiveness.

Second Bend has left no stone unturned in accommodating the training needs of today’s warfighters, delivering operational realism across varied terrain. They handle everything end to end, saving us time we would otherwise spend on logistics and meals, so teams stay focused on training and actually relax afterward. Our first evolution at Second Bend solidified our decision to continue using the facility. For the next iteration, we’re looking to expand with additional UAS profiles and STOL operations. Second Bend has a genuine appetite for improvement and a core belief in staying flexible. They take on board input from every team fortunate enough to train there.
