C-UAS Command &
Control: 

Building the Single Pane of Glass

From Sensor Chaos to Decision Advantage in Counter-UAS Operations

Most counter-UAS failures don’t happen because sensors miss the drone — they happen because operators are overwhelmed by fragmented data. This course focuses on fixing command and control so detection turns into timely, lawful action.

 The Real Challenge in Modern Counter-UAS Operations

Counter-UAS has evolved beyond a sensor problem. Today’s challenge is command and control.

Agencies and installations have invested heavily in radar, RF detection, EO/IR, acoustic, analytics, and mitigation tools — yet operational effectiveness often stalls at the operator console. Disconnected interfaces, isolated networks, inconsistent symbology, and manual data correlation create cognitive overload in time-compressed environments where seconds matter.

Course Overview

C-UAS Command & Control: Building the Single Pane of Glass is a professional training course designed for defense, law enforcement, homeland security, and critical infrastructure stakeholders who need more than detection—they need decision advantage.

​

This course reframes C-UAS as a Common Operating Picture (COP) problem rather than a product problem. Participants learn how unified visualization, disciplined architecture, and AI-enabled fusion transform scattered sensors into a coherent operational system. The curriculum addresses real-world constraints, including SLTT legal authorities, cybersecurity segmentation, vendor interoperability, and emerging threats such as autonomous and fiber-optic-controlled drones.

​

Rather than promoting a specific platform, the course provides architecture-level thinking: how detection, identification, tracking, mitigation status, airspace context, and policy constraints must coexist in a single operational environment. Special emphasis is placed on how AI should be applied — not as another alert stream, but as a fusion and prioritization engine that reduces operator burden while preserving human decision authority.

​

By the end of the session, participants walk away with a clear framework for evaluating, designing, or demanding a true single pane of glass — one that scales across sites, events, and jurisdictions and supports lawful, confident action under pressure.
