Certified UAS Cyber and Electronic Warfare Professional (CUCEWP) Certification Program by Tonex
The Certified UAS Cyber and Electronic Warfare Professional (CUCEWP) Certification Program by Tonex is designed for professionals who need a stronger understanding of unmanned aircraft systems, spectrum operations, cyber defense, and electronic warfare integration in modern environments. The program explores how UAS platforms operate across contested domains, how vulnerabilities emerge across communications and control links, and how defensive and offensive electronic warfare concepts influence mission success. Participants build a practical understanding of threat awareness, resilience planning, electromagnetic considerations, and operational coordination for secure UAS missions.
Cybersecurity is a critical part of modern UAS and electronic warfare operations because unmanned systems depend on software, networks, data links, and remote control functions that can be targeted by adversaries. This program highlights how cybersecurity supports mission continuity, protects navigation and communications integrity, and reduces exposure to cyber-enabled disruption. It also examines how cybersecurity and electronic warfare must work together to strengthen detection, defense, and response capabilities across evolving operational scenarios.
