Certified Spectrum Warfare & AI Red Team Operator (CSWARO)

Advanced Electronic Warfare (EW), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Red Teaming

Duration: 2 Days
Certification: Certified Spectrum Warfare & AI Red Team Operator (CSWARO)
Level: Advanced
Delivery: Instructor-led (Virtual or In-Person)
Target Audience: DoD EW specialists, SIGINT analysts, ISR operators, electronic intelligence (ELINT) professionals, cybersecurity red teamers, and defense contractors
Prerequisites: Background in cybersecurity, electronic warfare, SIGINT, or AI-based ISR is recommended. Familiarity with software-defined radio (SDR) and adversarial machine learning is beneficial but not required.

 

The CSWARO certification is designed to train DoD and defense professionals on offensive and defensive red teaming tactics in EW, SIGINT, and ISR domains. This program integrates electronic warfare, AI-driven SIGINT exploitation, and spectrum-based ISR deception into a unified red teaming framework for modern spectrum warfare.

Participants will learn real-world attack scenarios involving RF jamming, AI-enabled signal interception, and adversarial deception of ISR assets. Through exercises, they will conduct threat assessments, exploit vulnerabilities in electromagnetic spectrum operations, and develop countermeasures to secure AI-powered electronic warfare and intelligence platforms.
