Aerostat Training ProgRamS
Our aerostat training program solutions utilize well-tested, highly effective processes, and ISR strategies to train all CONUS/OCONUS aerostat operators.
PROVIDING TRAINING FOR A RANGE OF SYSTEMS
Elevated Technologies provides an unparalleled aerostat training program, led by professional instructors with years of combined curriculum development experience and extensive backgrounds in lighter-than-air (LTA) systems, engineering, operations; and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. We support new and established aerostat programs alike, providing training across system sizes from tactical 12M platforms to the PSS-T family and TARS systems. Providing expertise in system sizes ranging from the tactical 12M to the PSS-T family of systems to TARS aerostats. Each course is designed to maximize training time and operational readiness, combining classroom instruction, e-learning, and structured OJT through both CONUS and OCONUS delivery options.
AEROSTAT OPERATOR TRAINING
Elevated Technologies delivers comprehensive training programs designed for government organizations and industry partners. Trainees receive mission-relevant handouts, study guides, drawings, illustrations, and self-paced e-learning materials, culminating in structured OJT that refines operator skillsets. Our courses balance classroom instruction with practical application, using small class sizes and one-on-one instructor time to ensure focused, high-quality learning.
Our personnel are uniquely qualified in all aspects of aerostat operation, maintenance, and documentation, possessing the ability to transform your personnel into SMEs through our comprehensive classroom and on-site instruction programs. We provide both in-person and distance learning modalities to train personnel on aerostat systems, sensors, and support equipment. Our training offers a unique perspective for trainees by providing engaging dialogue with trainers and hands-on experience with systems. In addition, Elevated can integrate its instructor certification program into your training program to train and certify your SMEs as instructors who will sustain your training program.

WEATHER TRAINING
The course includes comprehensive weather training to educate operators, flight directors, and support staff on weather limitations for all aerostat variants. Training is tailored for each region an aerostat will operate, and we teach how to monitor weather conditions by reviewing forecasted weather data from various sources.
SUPPORT EQUIPMENT TRAINING
Training courses focus on support equipment associated with the maintenance and operations of aerostat systems. Certification and training covers equipment such as generators, forklifts, aerial lifts, helium truck, etc. Students achieve the knowledge and understanding to confidently utilize equipment to complete operational requirements.
HELIUM TRAINING
Training programs include overviews on all helium related topics to include inflation, deflation, lift loss, and purity testing. We ensure all site personnel understand the theories and processes for proper handling when dealing with helium to ensure the highest degree of success.
