Certified Space-Based TECHINT Specialist (CSBTS) Certification Program by Tonex
This program equips professionals to plan, collect, exploit, and disseminate technical intelligence derived from orbital platforms and advanced space sensors. Participants learn how satellite constellations, ground segments, and processing chains translate raw measurements into actionable insight for defense and national security missions. The course emphasizes data fusion across optical, SAR, hyperspectral, and RF sources to characterize systems, threats, and behaviors in contested space.
Cybersecurity impact is addressed through secure tasking, resilient command and control, and protection of downlink and processing infrastructure. Learners examine cyber hardened architectures so spaceborne TECHINT pipelines resist tampering and spoofing. The result is a practitioner ready to deliver reliable intelligence at speed for multi domain operations.
