UAV Analysis : UAV (Drone) Forensics
This three-day course will equip you with the practical skills and competencies required to identify and extract sources of data recoverable from drones and their associated control devices, in line with recognized best practice.
Using leading research and development from Spyder Forensics, this course will also prepare you to conduct forensically sound extraction and analysis of drone data for use as intelligence gathering or in evidence.
This course uses non-destructive processes to extract and analyze the data from the controller application, handheld device and UAV.
Primary Learning Outcomes
Become proficient in the extraction of UAV controller data from mobile devices and UAV’s using industry recognized forensic software.
Recognize types of data available from drones, their linked devices and third-party sources.
Conduct forensic extractions of data from the leading drone devices,
analyze extracted data effectively to produce reports fit for use in criminal justice proceedings.
