Certified Unmanned Underwater Systems Intelligence Analyst (CUUSIA) Certification Program by Tonex
CUUSIA develops specialists who can turn data from AUVs and UUVs into mission-ready intelligence. Participants learn how to configure payloads, interpret sonar and non-acoustic signatures, and fuse EO IR and environmental data for high confidence assessments. The program emphasizes end-to-end ISR workflows from collection planning through exploitation and dissemination in maritime environments. Cybersecurity considerations are integrated across the stack to protect platforms communications and analytics pipelines. Participants learn to harden autonomy software protect mission data at sea and assure integrity of AI models against adversarial attempts.
