UAS / Drone Forensics — 5-Day Intensive

The only practitioner-led drone forensics course developed for law enforcement, military intelligence, and government agencies. Originally built for the U.S. State Department ATA program.

UAS evidence is appearing in criminal cases, counterterrorism operations, and civil litigation at an accelerating rate — and most agencies have no protocol for handling it. This 5-day intensive closes that gap. You'll leave with hands-on proficiency in drone evidence acquisition, flight log analysis, operator identification, and court-ready reporting.

UAS architecture and evidence types — what's recoverable and where
Flight log extraction from DJI, Parrot, Autel, and custom builds
Geofencing analysis and GPS coordinate reconstruction
Operator identification through controller pairing data
Payload data recovery (photos, video, telemetry)
Cloud account correlation and OSINT integration
Chain-of-custody and court-ready reporting for UAS evidence
Expert witness testimony preparation for drone cases
