Drone protection officer training (DMA) – maritime focus

Foundations of a holistic counter-drone strategy

The certificate course gives security managers at port facilities and maritime critical infrastructure practical knowledge for dealing with drone threats. It focuses on the detection, assessment and countering of drones under real port conditions as well as on the integration of legal requirements such as ISPS, NIS2 and KRITIS (critical infrastructure). Participants learn to analyse risks, establish effective processes, take Human Factors into account and organise cooperation with the authorities. The aim is to make port organisations resilient and to keep them fast, legally sound and able to act in an emergency.

Who it is for

Security managers at port facilities, terminal operators, port authorities, operators of maritime critical infrastructure (e.g. container and bulk cargo terminals, shipyards), service providers in port and site security, ISPS officers (Port Facility Security Officers – PFSO), IT and facility managers in port operations as well as representatives of public authorities and organisations with security responsibilities in the maritime environment (e.g. port supervisory authorities, Wasserschutzpolizei (water police), coastguard), managers of civilian security services in the field of property and site security.

Seminar objective

Conveying options for action and possible responses to drone threats in port and maritime environments, with particular regard to Human Factors. Classification of the organisational, legal and procedural aspects of the detection and assessment of, and the response to, drone incidents at port facilities and on adjacent waters. Derivation of obligations and measures from regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and the KRITIS-Dachgesetz (German Critical Infrastructure Umbrella Act) as well as further maritime and aviation law provisions. The seminar prepares participants for the evaluation and implementation of technical detection systems and countermeasures specifically for complex port infrastructures and maritime operations.

Methodology

Interactive lectures, case analyses, simulation exercises and practical examples from recent incidents in the field of drone security, live demonstrations and hands-on flying.

Completion

Certificate of participation documenting the knowledge taught on legal fundamentals, risk assessment, Human Factors and the ability to act in the event of drone threats in the context of site security.
