UAS Fundamentals for Mountain Warfare

This introductory e-learning course provides a common baseline on the role and impact of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in mountain warfare. It explores how drones are reshaping reconnaissance, manoeuvre, command and control, force protection, sustainment and survivability in complex mountain environments.

The course is designed as a pre-course learning package for military personnel and civilian experts attending NATO Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence activities. It is not a pilot-training course, but a concise operational introduction intended to prepare participants for more advanced residential training at the Centre.
