be required for instructor qualification. During the flight evaluation and certification phase,
the UAVD will require contractor support.

The DGT course is designed to train C-UAS operators how to maintain, operate and employ
the Drone Gun Tactical. The course will take DGT qualified personnel and expose them to
the use and tactics of the selected C-UAS system. The course graduate will be able to
operate DGT under normal operating conditions conducting routine tasks expected of the
system. In addition, the course will also provide graduates with the necessary skills and
system knowledge to develop tactical continuation training and enhance the tactical
awareness within their places of work.

The course will be facilitated by The DroneShield utilizing their organic instructors, all of
