About
Step into defense technology - learn how counter-drone (counter-UAS) systems detect, track and intercept rogue drones, at a systems and software level. WHO IT'S FOR - College students: a rare, resume-defining specialisation in autonomy and defense tech. - Working professionals: build sought-after skills in detection, tracking and autonomous systems. WHY IT MATTERS: counter-UAS is a fast-rising global priority across security, aviation and defense - and specialists are in high demand. WHAT YOU'LL DO: build a detection-and-tracking simulation, an autonomous pursuit algorithm, and a full interceptor systems design. CURRICULUM INDEX Module 1: The counter-UAS problem and real-world context Module 2: Airspace, safety, ethics and law Module 3: Drone detection - RF, radar and vision sensing (concepts) Module 4: Tracking a moving target Module 5: Autonomy - pursuit and interception logic (simulation) Module 6: Interceptor platform - systems engineering (Professional track) Module 7: Swarm and coordination concepts (Professional track) Module 8: Capstone - design and simulate an interceptor system Student track: Modules 1-4 (concept-level). Professional track: Modules 1-8, simulation-first. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH: a working detection-and-tracking simulation, systems-level defense-tech understanding, and a certificate. Note: educational and simulation-focused - covers no weapons, payloads or harmful modifications; follow all local laws and airspace rules. Format: self-paced online + simulation tools.
