Ground Intercept Team + ASOC training
Detection finds the drone. Your team has to find the pilot.
Three days of training for state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement. Your Aviation Security Operations Center and your ground teams learn to locate drone operators, make lawful contact and document every step under Part 124.
One response, two teams
The hand-off is where it works or falls apart.
Sensors find the drone. Someone still has to reach the pilot, handle the contact the right way and document it so it holds up. That takes an ops center and ground teams that have trained together on one incident number, one dispatch card and one radio plan.
Detect
Sensors pick up the drone and its Remote ID broadcast.
Triage
The crew makes and documents the credible-threat call, then dispatches.
Intercept
The ground team locates the operator and makes safe, lawful contact.
Document
Warning record, evidence, confiscation or referral, and federal reporting.
How the three days run
Day one is fully joint: the threat, legal authorities, the detection picture and the hand-off between the ASOC and the field. Day two splits into the GIT and ASOC tracks. Day three brings both teams back together for a field exercise on the equipment you deploy, run from the ASOC seat to the street and back.
The two tracks
Each team learns its job, then they run it together.
GIT track
Ground Intercept Team
- Locate the pilot from Remote ID, RF and overwatch drones
- Plan a safe approach in urban, venue and open terrain
- Make contact, interview and assess intent
- Log warnings and credible-threat calls
- Handle evidence, confiscation and federal referral
- Respond to grounded and suspicious drones
ASOC track
Aviation Security Operations Center
- Site sensors and run the common operating picture
- Correlate Remote ID, radar and RF tracks
- Triage alerts and guide ground teams in
- Keep the audit trail and meet the 180-day data limit
- File the right federal forms on time
- Escalate to mitigation and federal assets

FAQ
Questions we hear.
Who should attend?
Your Aviation Security Operations Center crew, Ground Intercept Teams and the dispatch and supervisory staff who connect them. The course is built for state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement.
Is this equipment training?
No. Your vendor trains your operators on each system. This course trains the response around the equipment: detection, triage, dispatch, contact and documentation.
Where is the course held?
At your agency, so day three can run on the equipment you deploy and the ground you cover.
How do our teams keep the skills between courses?
With Promachos, which lets every seat practice the same incident any day, and with evaluated exercises.
Can grant funds pay for it?
Scenario-based training and tabletop exercises are allowable costs under the FEMA CUAS Grant Program. We will help you write the training line of your application.
