Full House Drones is a CUAS and defense-focused 2POV and drone-to-drone capture company. We exist because the next generation of counter-UAS and autonomous aerial systems is being built on limited data. Our warfighters train to be the best, and the data training their defense systems must be the best.

Why We Exist

Defense AI and CUAS are in the same position commercial AI was a decade ago. Compute is abundant. Architectures are proven. What's scarce is data — specifically, data that matches the operating environment and the target drone distribution the system is being trained to handle.

The market for aerial training data is saturated with repurposed commercial footage and drone hobbyist content scraped from the open internet. That's fine for a traffic-monitoring proof of concept. It is not fine for a counter-UAS detector that has to classify the drone inbound right now.

We built Full House Drones because our customers kept asking the same question: can someone just go fly what we actually need? We go fly what you actually need.

You cannot train a defense-grade CUAS or autonomy model on data collected for a real estate listing. The failure modes are not the same, and the data shouldn't be either.

Operating Principles

01 / Flexibility Is The Point

Every program needs a different slice of the scenario matrix. We curate exactly what your program specifies — not a stock bundle with your logo on it. If the scope needs to change mid-engagement, we tell you, and we adjust.

02 / The Crew Matters

Every flight runs with a dedicated camera operator. Not a fixed gimbal hoping it frames the subject — a human whose one job is tracking the target drone. That's what makes 2POV and drone-to-drone capture actually work.

03 / We Don't Bullshit Technical Teams

Marketing copy is for the website. Working with your ML leads is a different conversation. When your team asks hard questions, they get honest answers — including "we're not sure yet" and "that's not our best option."

04 / We Stay In Our Lane

We are not a generalist data vendor. We are not a drone-service shop that also happens to collect footage. We are a 2POV capture company focused on CUAS and defense AI. When a potential engagement isn't a fit, we say so.

Team

Full House Drones is intentionally small. We are not trying to be a thousand-person staffing firm dressed up as a data company. We are a senior team that executes the mission.

KB

Katelin Buckmaster

Founder / CEO

Leads engagement, capture operations, and program strategy. Background spans legal, data operations, and defense-adjacent program work.

OPS

Flight Operations

Vetted Crew Network

Part 107 certified two-person crews based across the U.S. with global collection capability. Experienced in mission profiles relevant to CUAS and defense AI collection.

ENG

Data Engineering

Pipeline & Tagging

Scenario-matrix tagging, per-clip metadata, and delivery engineering. Familiar with the formats, schemas, and MLOps platforms defense programs actually use.

Who We Serve

We work with the organizations building the next generation of counter-UAS and autonomous aerial capability:

  • CUAS system builders — teams developing counter-drone detection, classification, and tracking systems that need realistic training data
  • Defense primes and integrators — scoping internal training data for autonomy pipelines at contract-program scale
  • Defense-focused AI labs — venture-backed companies whose model quality depends on the quality of their training corpus
  • Government program offices — through prime relationships when the engagement model supports it
  • Venture funds — diligence support for defense-tech investments where data strategy is material to the thesis

If your program lives in the Venn-diagram overlap of "AI training," "drones," and "defense or CUAS," we should talk.
