Special Mission Electronic Security Course - (5 days)

iXero provides the realistic and challenging five-day (50-hour) Special Mission Electronic Security Course for up to 12 students. This course includes all equipment/props required during the class, a personal RFID Card Clone/Copy device for each student to keep, class handouts, a reference thumb drive per student, and other course materials as needed. Students are encouraged to bring any specialized unit equipment desired to the class to be incorporated into the FTX portions if desired.

Course content introduces class participants to the complex skills required to operate covertly in a digital and electronic landscape. Students will learn how to plan and conduct successful targeting operations in semi/non-permissive areas to include identifying and acquiring select Wi-Fi networks and routers, defeating Wi-Fi based alarms and video cameras, and identifying, capturing and mimicking RF ID cards. The course also introduces the students to clandestine communication methods utilizing cell phones, various phone apps, and public internet and computers. The course emphasizes principles of OPSEC, low visibility uses of electronic communications and electronic media, and locating and identifying select targets utilizing counter-electronic tradecraft. These techniques and operations will heighten the student’s digital awareness, improve covert communications and consequently lower capture, casualty and death rates.
