THE PROBLEM
The CUAS market moves fast.
The stakes don't allow for guesswork.
Without the right framework, organizations risk bad investments, uncovered gaps, and systems that under-perform when it matters.
THE FRAMEWORK
A framework, not a formula
CUAS program needs vary from site-to-site/org-to-org. What follows is the framework Tactien typically runs, built from real program stand-ups across the critical infrastructure sector. Some clients need the full sequence. Others already know their vendor shortlist and just need independent testing. We scope to your risk profile and your budget.
VETTING & VALIDATION
BLIND RED-TEAMING & SCORING
Tactien runs blind red-team testing on our own terms. Vendors don't know the aircraft type, flight path, frequency, or timing before a test begins. We fly varying altitudes, speeds, times of day, and multi-aircraft scenarios, including night operations and swarm profiles, capable of using Group 1 through Group 3 platforms and, when needed, manned aircraft.
Aircraft GPS telemetry is the independent control. Every vendor's detection output is cross-referenced against Tactien-verified flight logs, eliminating vendor self-reporting bias. Their system either performs, or it doesn't. There's no room for a controlled-environment demo to stand in for real performance.
WHERE YOU START
THREE WAYS TO ENGAGE
These aren't fixed packages. They're common entry points, scoped to what you already know and what you still need.
