About this Workshop

THE ONLY COMPREHENSIVE CUAS/DRONE THREAT VULNERABILITY and MITIGATION PLANNERS COURSE

ON THE MARKET!!

PARTICIPANTS WILL DEVELOP a DRONE VULNERABILITY RISK ASSESSMENT (DVRA) FOR THEIR AGENCIES based on REAL-WORLD OPERATIONS, BEST PRACTICES and FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES for YOUR ORGANIZATION TAUGHT BY FORMER SENIOR OFFICERS and EXECUTIVES (J2/SOCNORTH, RETIRED ARMY SF OFFICER, C-SUITE )!

NETWORK with C-UAS WORKING GROUPS ACROSS the WHOLE OF GOVERNMENT and COMMERCIAL SECTOR!

IDEAL for GOVERNMENT (DoD/DOJ/DOE/DHS/SLTT) and PRIVATE SECTOR .

DEVELOP PRODUCTS USING A TEMPLATE that is READILY TRANSLATABLE for INCORPORATION into YOUR AGENCY'S PLANNING PROCESSES to include:

JPP, APP, NPP, MCPP, MDMP, AT/FP, INSTALLATION SECURITY PLANNING,
COMMERCIAL SECTOR PLANNING, and MORE....

Irregular Warfare Initiative (IWI) Podcast Interview – COL (R) Bill Edwards:

The Irregular Warfare Initiative is a partnership between West Point’s Modern War Institute (USMA | MWI) and Princeton University’s Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC) project, which generates content, biweekly podcasts, and
coordinates events and hosts critical thinkers in the field of irregular warfare.

Great insight from Bill and Dr. Kerry Chavez.

Two (2) Professional Certs.

CERTIFICATE 1 - SECURITY/UAS (SUAS) ECOSYSTEM AND LAW. (1 day – 8 hours)

Professionals will be updated on counter-UAS and law and new technologies in the s/UAS ecosystem in addition to updates regarding Ukraine, Gaza, and other hotspots to include the manner in which conflict and related commercialization and the war is changing the s/UAS landscape.

Final knowledge test = Certificate for eight (8) CPE (Continuing Professional Education) hours - ASIS International.

  • Focus is on law and the technology ecosystem as it pertains to detection, mitigation, and options for interdiction while understanding and reinforcing laws associated with the technology, domestically and abroad.

  • 1-day course is prerequisite to subsequent certificates on

    1. 2-Drone Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (DVRA),

    2. 3- Drone Emergency Response Planning (DERP), and

    3. 4-Left of drone (UAS) launch (LoDL)– course on offensive c/UAS measures

CERTIFICATE 2 - DRONE VULNERABILITY AND RISK ASSESSMENT (DVRA). (3 days – 24 hours)

Three (3) perspectives: Technology, Planning, and Offensive Countermeasures (TTPs | Integration).

Drone vulnerability/risk assessment and practical exercises (hands-on training with TEMPLATES and TAKEAWAYS for your AGENCY).

Approaching CUAS/threat assessment/vulnerability analysis from the perspective of defense, technology, and planning from perspective of:

  • Current and upcoming technologies in CUAS – presented by instructors and sponsors.

  • Plan and conduct Drone Vulnerability Risk Assessments given the aerial threat from the 3-dimensional vector, for protection-level assets and resources.

  • How to conduct planning to include elements that can be used to build:

    • Critical Asset Protection Planning (commercial sector),

    • Anti-Terrorism/ Force Protection and Military Planning (NPP/JPPA/MPP/MDMP/JPP), and

    • Emergency Response Planning (integrated into ICS/NIMS + local asset protection/response plans)

  • Student teams (6 -12) will conduct DVRAs using on-site mini-critical infrastructures (e.g., electrical substation, stadium, field for mass gathering events, water substation, server areas, etc.) – 8 hr. day, 2 hrs. night HANDS-ON PRACTICAL APPLICATION

  • Students will learn to present plans to senior officers and executives (G.O./Flag/C-Suite) for critique and feedback from senior leaders. Participants will take those plans back to their organizations to serve as a template to adapt to their own protection plans.

Final knowledge test = Certificate for twenty-four (24) CPE (Continuing Professional Education) hours - ASIS International.

Course Summary - 4 Days

DAY 1: Counter UAS and Law - become educated on jurisdictional issues regarding mitigation/planning/response, the ever-evolving threat (with live updates from Gaza and Ukraine, given how much that is changing the threat landscape). CERTIFICATE 1 ISSUED - 8 HRS.

DAY 2: DVRA - Drone Vulnerability and Risk Assessment - learning. Covering c-SUAS threats (technology), what counter threat and planning look like - how to develop an annex for

a) Commercial critical asset protection planning,

b) Civilian and military installation AT/FP planning for critical assets, protection-level resources, etc. and

c) Integrate into BOTH military planning process (APP, JPP, NPP, MCPP, MDMP, etc.) and civilian strategic/commercial security plans.

d) CREATE MOAs/MOUs with adjacent units and nearby partner agencies to cover down on policy-driven capacity gaps

STUDENTS WILL LEARN TO PLAN FOR AND CONTEND WITH THREATS, TO INCLUDE ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), single drone (kinetic), and multi-drone (mass). Skills learned will be how to develop at

a) Tactics, tools, and procedures (TTPs),

b) Passive asset protection (hiding/obfuscating resources) by attack prevention through environmental design (CPTED),

c) Getting out in front of the threat (offensive countermeasures),

d) Emergency response planning, e) getting "left of sUAS launch" with patrol and detection across common attack/infiltration routes in the 3rd dimensional vector - case studies from actual foreign and domestic attacks against critical infrastructure , civilian, commercial, and military targets are explored.

DAY 3: DVRA - Drone Vulnerability and Risk Assessment -Hands on planning. Students will break into cross-functional teams - students will develop actual hands-on DVRAs for real-world critical infrastructure sites on site to include a) electrical substation, b) water substation, c) football stadium, d) open field, e) buildings with cyber resources (e.g., server rooms, etc.). 8 hours daytime, dinner, 2- hours night ops.

DAY 4: DVRA - Drone Vulnerability and Risk Assessment - Group Presentation with feedback from top-notch instructors (see bios below)- Groups will present final day and get feedback on. Focus will be on how to succinctly present drone threat, vulnerability, and mitigation planning and measures to senior leaders to include up to the Flag/General Officer/SES level. This includes those senior leaders who have little to no familiarity with the totality of the threat - highly important given threat nascency! CERTIFICATE 2 ISSUED - 24 HRS.

"10 out of 10!"

"This course really fills in the gaps on what you need to know in counter and mitigation efforts! Highly recommend!"

"Outstanding Info!"

"The instructors were energetic, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable.  I learned more from this course [after only one day] than any of the c-UAS Working Groups or training I've been involved in.  I will recommend these instructors attend NORAD/USNORTHCOM conferences as subject-matter-experts.
