The escalating proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, for both legitimate and illicit purposes, has introduced a complex and rapidly evolving threat to national security, critical infrastructure, public events, and privacy. From commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drones modified for harmful intent to sophisticated state-sponsored reconnaissance platforms, the potential for unauthorized drone activity is a growing concern. Detecting, tracking, identifying, and mitigating these airborne threats, often referred to as "low, slow, and small" (LSS) targets, requires a specialized and multi-layered defense approach. This necessitates a deep understanding of cutting-edge Counter-UAS (C-UAS) technologies and robust operational strategies. This essential training course focuses on Counter-UAS (C-UAS) Technologies & Strategies, equipping professionals with the critical knowledge and practical skills to effectively safeguard airspace against evolving drone threats.
This intensive training course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of the C-UAS ecosystem. Participants will delve into the various drone detection technologies, including radar, radio frequency (RF) analysis, acoustic sensors, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, learning their operational principles, capabilities, and limitations. We will explore a spectrum of drone mitigation techniques, ranging from non-kinetic (e.g., jamming, spoofing, cyber takeover) to kinetic solutions (e.g., net capture, directed energy weapons), emphasizing their effective and lawful deployment. By mastering the integration of these advanced C-UAS technologies into a cohesive defense strategy and understanding the associated regulatory and ethical frameworks, you will be prepared to design, implement, and manage robust counter-drone solutions for diverse operational environments, ensuring comprehensive airspace security.
