Cybersecurity for Weapon Systems
Course Objectives
Modern military platforms are no longer just mechanical assets—they are software-defined, hyper-connected, autonomous edge nodes.
As adversary threats evolve toward agentic cyber attacks, C2 hijacking, supply chain interdiction, and signal disruption, cybersecurity can no longer be an afterthought or a "check-the-box" compliance task tacked on at the end of a project. It is a fundamental operational capability, equal in priority to kinetic lethality, survivability, and range.
Designed specifically for Systems Engineers, Lead Architects, and Defense Project Managers, this intensive 6-day hands-on course bridges the critical gap between customer specifications, defense regulatory frameworks, and real-world cyber-resilient design.
Participants will master how to decipher complex military security requirements, navigate defense standards (NIST, DoD, NATO STANAG, DO-326A), conduct threat modeling on platform interfaces, and architect layered "defense-in-depth" solutions that satisfy performance, cost, and mission constraints.
Through practical specification analysis, architectural trade-off exercises, and Red/Blue team response simulations, this course equips engineering leads to deliver mission-capable weapon systems engineered to withstand, operate through, and recover from sophisticated cyber threats.
