The Tactical Drone CQB Doctrine

D-CQB.
The Drone Goes First.

D-CQB is drone-led close quarters battle. The drone takes the room. Your operators take the fight on their terms.

Tactical drone training for indoor clearing, multi-floor assault, and live ISR. Written by the operators who run it. Proven with SWAT and SOF units worldwide.

Drone CQB,
Defined.

D-CQB is the tactical drone CQB doctrine built by Prof-Worx. CQB is close quarters battle. The fight inside rooms, corridors, and stairwells. Short distances. No second chances.

Traditional CQB puts an operator through the door into the unknown. D-CQB puts the drone there first. It clears the room, finds the threat, and feeds the entry team a live picture before a boot crosses the threshold. The first risk belongs to the machine now. Not your operator.

This is not a hobby drone down a hallway. D-CQB is a complete method. How the drone moves. How the team reads the feed. How the call gets made. How the drone hands off to the assault. We transfer that method into how your unit already fights. Your mission. Your threats. Your operators.

How D-CQB Works

01

Drone Clears First

The drone takes the unknown ahead of the stack. Indoor drone clearing, room by room, in GPS-denied and confined spaces where commercial platforms quit.

02

Live ISR To The Team

Live video and thermal put a clear picture in front of the stack. Threats, hostages, and layout. Known before the door moves.

03

Assault On Your Terms

The team makes the call on information, not assumptions. The drone hands off. The entry runs on your timing. Not the threat's.

Old Door.
New Doctrine.

Traditional CQB

  • First operator through the door takes the unknown.
  • The room is read after entry, under fire.
  • Threat sets the timing.
  • Hostage and layout discovered the hard way.

D-CQB

  • Drone takes the unknown. Operators stay covered.
  • The room is read before entry, from a live feed.
  • Team sets the timing.
  • Threats and layout known before the breach.
