Commercial and military drone technology has advanced faster than the defensive frameworks designed to counter it. Swarm operations coordinated by AI, FPV attack drones adapted from civilian platforms, and state-grade electronic warfare against UAS all represent capabilities that were theoretical five years ago and are now documented in active conflict zones.
This three-day advanced programme is designed for security professionals, defence planners, and government advisers who have completed foundational counter-UAS training and need to operate at the frontier of the threat. It covers advanced drone exploitation methodology, the architecture of AI-coordinated swarm attacks, firmware analysis awareness, counter-swarm defence design, and the strategic implications of lethal autonomous UAS for national security and critical infrastructure protection.
Counter-swarm architecture design: specify an integrated detection and response capability for a defined area target against a swarm threat profile.
Structured feedback on counter-swarm architecture designs: technical gaps, integration weaknesses, and procurement feasibility.
Swarm threat architecture analysis, counter-swarm system design, electronic attack sequencing, defence capability requirement writing, and advanced threat technology horizon assessment.
Analyse the technical attack surface of commercial and military drone platforms at an advanced level.
Explain AI-coordinated swarm architectures and their implications for traditional counter-UAS systems.
Design integrated counter-swarm detection, identification, and response architectures.
Evaluate the strategic implications of lethal autonomous drone systems for national security and critical infrastructure.
Lead counter-swarm programme design and procurement using a capability-requirements methodology.
Integrate drone threat intelligence into organisational and national security assessments.
Completion of Counter-UAS and Drone Cyber Warfare Operations (X-CWUAS-P) or equivalent professional experience in counter-UAS operations.
Professional experience in defence planning, senior physical security, or government security advisory roles.

Not everyone learns best in a group. If you want focused guidance, faster clarity, and confidence you can use on the job, our 1-to-1 Fast-Track Training gives you private, mentor-led support tailored to your experience and goals.
"Many learners choose 1-to-1 when they want understanding, not memorisation."
Everything you need to know about the certification exams
You will receive an Xcademia certificate of completion based on participation and successful completion of labs and scenario simulations.
Everything you need to know about this course
Delegates should have completed X-CWUAS-P or have equivalent professional experience. The course covers technical exploitation concepts at awareness and strategic depth, not hands-on tool use. A background in security planning, defence, or government advisory is the primary requirement.
