Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide training that enables professionals to gather forensic artifacts from and conduct digital analysis on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in a forensically reliable manner. The course introduces best practices and relevant technical aspects of interacting with unmanned aerial systems and their associated peripherals. The course not only introduces students to the forensic artifacts found on these systems and how to recover and analyze them but also provides participants the opportunity to get direct experience with the systems.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the fundamentals of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
  • Safely seize drones in a forensically sound, repeatable process so that data can be reliably extracted.
  • Retrieve and deconstruct data from an operational UAS using forensically sound, repeatable processes.
  • Reassemble a disassembled drone into a fully operational state.
  • Demonstrate the safe operation of UAS.
  • Identify the components of a variety of drone models that dictate forensic artifact storage capabilities prior to evidence acquisition.

General Topics:

  • An Overview of UAS Technology
  • Hands-On Interactions
  • Artifact Types and Analysis of Artifacts
  • Drone Handling Workflow
