Weaponized Drone Threats: Extremist, Terrorist, and Cartel Overview and Response
Provided by: Northeast Counterdrug Training Center
Course Description:
This proactive eight-hour course has been designed to train participants in preparation for the emerging
and very real threat of weaponized drone use domestically with the United States. Weaponized drone use has
proliferated over the past two decades and with such systems increasingly in the arsenals of terrorist (and
extremist) organizations as well as criminal groups (cartels). These deadly devices are also appearing on
conventional battlefields such as in Ukraine. Plots and minor incidents have taken place domestically related to
these systems with ongoing investigations taking place, however, no major incident (resulting in deaths and/or
infrastructure destruction) has to date transpired. The course training is provided via a red team (opposing force;
threats) and blue team (allied force; response) perspective by counterterrorism experts. Students are trained by
means of classroom power point lectures, short videos/video clips, questions, and answers (Q&A), and short
discussion sessions and will have access to PDFs of the course lecture material for retention purposes.
