Fundamentals of Drone Warfare and Unmanned Systems Training by Tonex
Fundamentals of Drone Warfare and Unmanned Systems Training by Tonex provides a practical introduction to modern unmanned platforms used across military, security, and defense environments. Participants examine UAV, UGV, USV, and UUV roles, classifications, payloads, communications, sensors, and mission applications across ISR, surveillance, logistics, and strike operations.
Drone warfare expands the cybersecurity attack surface through wireless links, navigation dependencies, onboard software, and data channels. Cybersecurity readiness is essential for protecting command links, mission data, drone control systems, and counter-drone response operations against spoofing, interception, and hostile takeover attempts.
