The deliverable is a qualified soldier. Developed by Special Forces veterans and delivered by experienced combat instructors, the qualification blends proven combat marksmanship with select techniques adapted from world-champion clay shooters — folded into a combat framework, not taught as a sporting discipline.
Qualification requires at least three pellet strikes to the airframe or propulsion zone across a five-stage scored course of fire. Engaging a friendly or civilian profile is an automatic fail. The result is recorded per soldier, auditable, and revalidated annually.
| Day | Phase | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Foundation | Threat brief, platform and ammunition familiarisation, tracking principles, dry and VR drills. |
| Day 2 | Live — static | Zero, pattern confidence 10–40 m, moving and elevated targets, speed reloads. |
| Day 3 | Dynamic | Positions of disadvantage, PID and ROE decision drills, stress shoot, low-light and smoke. |
| Day 4 | Integration | Section drone defence, sensor-to-shooter handover, convoy defence live fire. |
| Day 5 | Qualification | Five-stage scored course of fire, remediation, after-action review and certification. |
Instructors with operational experience where UAS threats were present.
Lead, swing and follow-through adapted to three-dimensional drone flight paths.
Engagement from positions of disadvantage, under physiological stress.
Positive identification, collateral and fratricide avoidance built into every serial.
Unlimited repetitions before a live round is fired.
| Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly | Annually |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry and VR tracking | Live serials, moving targets | Stress shoot | Requalification |
How a force qualifies at scale. Portable, immersive VR that lets small teams develop and rehearse the full Detect–Identify–Track–Defeat kill chain anywhere, without fixed infrastructure, at a fraction of live-fire cost. It is what makes a national qualification programme affordable.
Set up in under two minutes. One to twelve-plus concurrent operators, any weather, no fixed facility.
Unlimited threat scenarios configured in minutes — armed FPV, ISR, nuisance, recon and swarms.
Realistic kinetic and non-kinetic defeat, including inert EW detect-and-defeat and C-UAS vendor integration.
Full after-action review from any angle with objective performance data against the qualification standard.
Offline operation, accurate positioning without backpack PCs or external trackers, audit-ready compliance reporting, an SDK for customer configuration, and ISO 27001-compliant headsets.
Record and review from user POV, third person, drone POV, top-down and fixed cameras. Analyse shot accuracy, weapon angles, field of view, DITD phase timing and a critical-events timeline — the evidence base for a scored qualification.
| Size and weight | 48″ × 20″ × 9″ (122 × 51 × 23 cm); 50 lb (23 kg) per two-user system |
| Users | 1–12+ simultaneous operators; no backpack PCs, tethering or external tracking |
| Headsets | Enterprise-grade 4K; two-hour run time with hot-swap spare battery; optional eye tracking |
| Detect, defeat and weapon | Kinetic and non-kinetic; inert EW detect-and-defeat; gas-recoiling training weapon |
A qualification is only a category if a force can actually reach it. Live-fire alone makes national-scale counter-drone training unaffordable and range-bound. INTERCEPTOR moves the repetitions into VR and reserves live ammunition for the serials that require it.
The GEN-12 platform and purpose-built 12G cUAS ammunition — the effector and the effect the standard is scored against.
