THE PERIMETER
HAS CHANGED.
CREATE DECISION ADVANTAGE.
Phoenix 6 Consulting helps organizations assess drone risk, build complete C-UAS capability, and prepare leaders to act decisively across ground, cyber, and aerial domains.
From emerging threat to executable response.
Phoenix 6 works at the point where strategy, technology, authorities, people, and time converge. Every engagement is designed to improve understanding, preserve options, and increase the client’s ability to act.

Modern organizations operate across interconnected Ground, Cyber, and Aerial environments. Phoenix 6 connects those domains through governance, a common operating picture, and a decision process designed to preserve lawful and feasible options when time matters.
90 seconds to decide.
Technology matters only if the organization can turn information into action. Phoenix 6 evaluates and trains decision performance through four practical tests.
Understanding
Do decision-makers have a common, trusted picture of what is happening?
Authority
Can the correct person or organization lawfully make the required decision?
Options
Are realistic, lawful, and executable response options available?
Execution
Can the organization act in time, communicate clearly, and confirm the result?
Rehearse the decision before the incident.
Phoenix 6 creates and facilitates executive and practitioner tabletop exercises for drone events, critical-infrastructure disruption, cyber-aerial convergence, special events, and multi-agency response.
Scenario & MSEL
Realistic scenario design, escalating injects, branch points, decision requirements, and expected discussion.
Facilitation
