Invitation to the Red/Blue Teaming Drone Countermeasure Exercise

Simulating Real-World Drone Threats for Law Enforcement CUAS Operators & Decision Makers

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive Red/Blue Teaming Drone Countermeasure Exercise, designed specifically for law enforcement CUAS operators and decision makers. This cutting-edge event offers a unique, hands-on opportunity to test and refine your capabilities in countering real-world drone threats in dynamic, high-pressure scenarios.

Date:

Madrid, Spain 14-16 April 2025

San Diego, US 8-12 September 2024

What to Expect:

This live, action-packed exercise will feature real-time drone threat simulations where you will experience both the offensive and defensive aspects of modern Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) operations:

• Red Team (Offensive): A team of skilled drone operators will simulate various threats, from surveillance and smuggling to more complex challenges like swarm attacks and electronic warfare tactics.
• Blue Team (Defensive): Your role as a CUAS operator will involve deploying the latest drone detection, identification, and neutralization technologies to protect critical infrastructure, public safety, and law enforcement operations.

Key Exercise Features:

• Hands-On Simulation: Engage in live Red/Blue team exercises with multiple drone threat scenarios.
• Real-World Scenarios: Test your tactical decision-making in situations like urban drone swarms, no-fly zone breaches, and hostile drone activity.
• Collaborative Learning: Share strategies with fellow professionals while testing new technologies and countermeasures.
• Expert Analysis & Feedback: Receive insights from industry leaders and tactical experts on best practices and areas for improvement.

Key Exercise Features:

• Expert Analysis & Feedback: Receive insights from industry leaders and tactical experts on best practices and areas for improvement.

Key Takeaways:

• Evolving Threat Landscape: Drones are continuously evolving in terms of capability, size, and tactics. The exercise will showcase how countermeasures need to adapt and evolve to keep pace with new threats like AI-driven drones, autonomous drone swarms, or miniaturized surveillance devices.
• Rules of Engagement: Both Red and Blue teams must be aware of the legalities of using countermeasures, especially in civilian areas. Shooting down drones or using jamming technology can be prohibited or highly regulated.
• Collateral Damage: The exercise may highlight how certain countermeasures can cause collateral damage to unintended targets (e.g., disrupting communication signals, affecting nearby aircraft).
• Civilian Safety: Drones in civilian airspace must be handled with care, and any countermeasure must consider civilian safety to avoid harm.

Why Attend?

• Enhance Your Operational Readiness: Sharpen your skills in identifying, tracking, and neutralizing drone threats in real-time.
• Refine Your Tactical Decision-Making: Understand the challenges and opportunities of managing drone incidents under pressure.
• Stay Ahead of Emerging Threats: Learn from the latest technological advancements and evolving tactics in drone defense.

This is a must-attend event for law enforcement professionals involved in safeguarding public safety and critical infrastructure from drone threats.
