About this course
This comprehensive intelligence-led course, taught from a highly renowned UAS Red Air pilot, will take you through the process for conducting live vulnerability assessments against environments protected by C-UAS.
This course is packed with the checklists, guidelines and practical scenarios to aid in the C-UAS Test & Evaluation process. Learn from a seasoned professional who will guide you through real-world scenarios and case studies, bridging the gap between theory and practical implementation.
Completion in this course and its required assessments will result in both a physical and digital certification: the C-UAS Site Vulnerability Assessor (CSVA).
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for private sector security professionals, law enforcement officers, military personnel, and government employees who wish to enhance their understanding of drone threats and countermeasures.
Those tasked with Counter-UAS operations, intelligence, physical security, red team operations and field work will find this course and the materials relevant.
Although it is not required to complete the DSOC course before enrolling in CSVA, it is highly recommended for new or amateur learners in the C-UAS space.
This course is open to the public, however all students will be vetted after purchase for screening. Sign up with your work email + full name where possible.
