Drone Defence: Mitigating Aerial Threats
Understand. Detect. Respond.
Modern security now extends to the skies. Drones have transformed surveillance, intelligence, and attack capabilities — and with that comes a growing threat to public safety, critical infrastructure, and private operations.
The Drone Defence: Mitigating Aerial Threats course gives you the knowledge and skills to understand, assess, and respond effectively to drone-related risks in both civil and operational settings.
Learn how unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are used in espionage, smuggling, and hostile activity, and discover the evolving counter-drone technologies and strategies that security professionals rely on to stay one step ahead.
