Counter UAS Operations involve both monitoring for the presence of drones, and countermeasures to debilitate the drone once detected. Both monitoring and debilitating can be done in a variety of ways. This blog describes methods, but more can be learned about Counter UAS Technology by taking the upcoming ATI course, Counter UAS Technology and Techniques. You can learn more about this course, and register for it here.

Psyched for Mission PSYCHE – ATI Courses
NASA’s Mission Psyche is named after the Comet Psyche, the ultimate destination of the spacecraft going there to learn more about earth origins. Psyche will be launched from the earth with a SpaceX Heavy Falcon Rocket, but further propulsion is being provided by some new technologies first being used on Psyche. If you want to learn more about Rocket Science, consider taking ATI’s upcoming course on the subject. You can learn more about the course, and register for it, at Rockets & Launch Vehicles – Selection & Design
