Students will cover various modules including UAS doctrine, regulation, classification, capabilities, integration into intelligence cycles and use in contested environments. The course also focuses on various CUAS techniques including detection methods and Kinetic and Non-Kinetic effectors. The course allows students to analyse the utility of UAS in military operations and also explore defences against adversary use. The course culminates in an operationally focused mission planning exercise to consolidate the theoretical concepts covered. The course is classroom based and does not include live UAS training. --- ## Intended Audience This course is suitable for personnel that require an introductory understanding of UAS operations within a military context and the means to defend against their use. --- ## Course Modules - UAS History and Variants - Introduction to UAS Airworthiness - UAS Systems, Performance and Payloads - Introduction to UAS Operations - UAS in a Contested, Denied and Operationally limited (CDO) environment - Countering UAS - Scenario based workshop ---   Course price: AU$4,796.00 inc GST [Click here](https://soio.com.au/short-courses#grants) for available Government Grants.   ![UAS](https://soio.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/221118%20-%20UAS-1.jpg?width=5120&height=2912&name=221118%20-%20UAS-1.jpg "UAS") For multiple course seat bookings, please call Kerry Houston on 0439 997 719 [![SOIO\_Logo\_Rev-3](https://soio.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/SOIO_Logo_Rev-3.png?width=200&height=41&name=SOIO_Logo_Rev-3.png "SOIO_Logo_Rev-3")](http:/?hsLang=en) SCHOOL OF INFORMATION OPERATIONS         ABN 62 624 905 399 © 2026 All rights reserved.     ###### CONTACT US PO Box 503 Prospect East, SA 5082 Australia +61 417 742 705   [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/school-of-information-operations/) [Email us](mailto:info@soio.com.au) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/@SOIOTraining) ###### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MAILING LIST ###### [QUAD CHART](https://soio.com.au/hubfs/260318%20SOIO%20Quad%20Chart.pdf?hsLang=en) ###### [CONTACT](https://soio.com.au/contact?hsLang=en) ###### [PRIVACY POLICY](https://soio.com.au/privacy-policy?hsLang=en) ###### [PRIVACY COLLECTION NOTICE](https://soio.com.au/privacy-collection-notice?hsLang=en) ###### [FEES](https://soio.com.au/privacy-collection-notice-0?hsLang=en) ###### [ABOUT](https://soio.com.au/about-the-school-of-information-operations-soio?hsLang=en) ###### [NEWS](https://soio.com.au/news?hsLang=en) ###### [TERMS & CONDITIONS](https://soio.com.au/terms-conditions?hsLang=en)
