01 / SDZ
Surface Danger Zone Analysis
Direct-fire and indirect-fire SDZ generation per DA PAM 385-63. Geometry, ricochet, and shrapnel containment — defensible against safety board review.
Read more →STAGE 01 / 06
Platform
Group 1 UAS / loitering munition. Operator-launched, low-cost, fielded across the joint force. Falconer's analysis begins where the platform leaves the operator's hand.
WHO WE ARE
Federal range safety engineering, with current operational expertise — not yesterday's doctrine.
Falconer Operations Group is an SDVOSB (pending) headquartered in Newport News, Virginia. We bring eight years of active federal range operations to the SDZ, WDZ, and compliance work that keeps live-fire training defensible.
CAPABILITIES
What we deliver
Four primary services. Doctrine-grounded, repeatable, and traceable.
02 / WDZ
Weapon Danger Zone Analysis
Aviation-delivered ordnance WDZ. Falconer specializes in three-dimensional UAS and loitering-munition footprints, including failure-mode envelopes most published guidance treats lightly.
Read more →03 / COMPLIANCE
Range Safety Compliance & Inspection
Pre-event certification reviews, range card audits, and on-site inspection support. Aligned to AR 350-19, TC 25-8, MCO 3570.1C, and applicable service-specific orders.
Read more →04 / OPS
Range Operations Management Support
Embedded or surge support for range control: scheduling, de-confliction, ITAMS integration, and operations documentation. Continuity for short-handed range offices.

DIFFERENTIATORS
Why Falconer
Three things that separate us from the consultancy-of-retired-NCOs model that dominated range safety work for the last decade.
01
Current operational expertise
Eight years federal range operations now, not ten years retired. The principal still works the line at Fort Eustis, which means our analysis reflects how ranges actually run in 2026.
02
UAS and loitering-munition focus
Composite WDZ analysis built specifically for Group 1 platforms and loitering munitions. The space where most published guidance hasn't caught up yet — and where the Joint Force is fielding fastest.
03
Atlantic-coast proximity
Newport News base of operations puts Falconer within driving distance of JBLE, Fort Eustis, Naval Station Norfolk, Dam Neck, Quantico, and the broader Hampton Roads training enterprise.
