Drone Surveillance Unit Patch — Order This Satellite Dish Design
Design S1837A at a glance
A black-bordered custom cut in olive, black, grey and white, built on a bold stylized letterform that carries a drone and satellite dishes. Two lettering lines name the drone unit and its surveillance role. The letterform gives the patch a modern, graphic feel, and it restitches to your own initial so the emblem becomes your unit’s monogram.

About this drone and satellite dish unit design
Drone programs are among the newest units in policing, and their insignia tends to look forward rather than back. This design skips eagles and shields entirely in favor of a graphic letterform built around the tools of the job: an unmanned aircraft and the dishes that carry its signal. Olive and black give it a field-ready tone, while grey and white keep the hardware details legible.
Design your own version: restitch the letterform to your agency’s initial, set your unit and role in the lettering, or swap the dishes for a camera or antenna if that better fits your mission. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Drone surveillance unit patch questions
Can the letterform be changed to our initial?
Yes. Send your initial or agency abbreviation and we rebuild the letterform around the drone at no art charge.
Can you draw our specific drone model?
Yes. A photo of your aircraft is enough for us to redraw it in thread, and the proof shows it before production.
Is there a subdued version?
Yes. Blackout, coyote and wolf gray builds keep the emblem but drop the contrast for tactical use.
What backing do drone pilots usually choose?
Hook-side velcro for vests and cases, so the patch moves between kit. Sew-on suits field shirts.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the letterform or dishes, retype the lettering and pin notes. Your edits ride along with the quote.
