Nine Ten Drones, LLC was founded in late 2017 to bring professional, hands-on drone services to North Carolina’s growing UAS community. We’re a veteran-owned company working with public safety agencies, schools, contractors, and utilities across the state — helping teams build drone programs from the ground up, add aerial data to their existing workflows, and get hands-on training on the equipment they fly.
Nine Ten Drones is a North Carolina unmanned aircraft systems company providing UAS sales, training, mapping and program support since 2017. Our counter-UAS practice serves two distinct markets: Nine Ten Airspace Awareness, a managed airspace awareness service for private facilities using radar, Remote Identification reception, electro-optical and acoustic sensing; and counter-UAS advisory for public safety and correctional agencies — threat and vulnerability assessment, grant positioning, policy and operational plan authorship, operator training and readiness sustainment. We do not operate counter-UAS systems on behalf of any agency, and we do not compete to supply equipment for federally funded procurements for which we authored the requirements.
As a veteran-owned business, we’re built to meet the registration, insurance, and certification standards that come with serving government and public safety agencies.
