CIE Defense provides FAA Part 107 certified UAS operations across the full range of mission profiles — from standard daylight visual line of sight operations through complex Beyond Visual Line of Sight and night operations. Our operators bring tactical field experience to every deployment, operating platforms selected and configured for the specific mission environment.

Every CIE Defense UAS deployment is planned and executed as an integrated component of the broader mission — coordinated with ground teams, command structures, and interagency partners. From pre-mission airspace coordination through real-time flight operations and post-mission reporting, CIE Defense manages the full operational lifecycle.

The proliferation of unmanned aerial systems has created a threat landscape that law enforcement agencies, government facilities, and critical infrastructure operators are increasingly required to address. Counter-UAS capability is no longer a specialized military requirement — it is a mainstream security imperative for any agency or facility with assets worth protecting.

CIE Defense provides Counter-UAS solutions spanning the full detection-to-defeat spectrum through a layered approach. CIE Defense approaches every C-UAS engagement with a facility and mission-specific assessment — evaluating the threat environment, protected asset profile, regulatory constraints, and operational requirements before recommending a detection and defeat architecture. Contact CIE Defense to discuss C-UAS program requirements and facility assessments.

CIE Defense's tactical drone integration capability is built around a deep understanding of how SWAT, EOD, and special operations teams operate. We don't integrate unmanned systems from a technology perspective — we integrate them from an operational perspective, ensuring that the platform, payload, and procedures are designed around how the team actually works.

Our tactical integration services span platform selection and configuration through protocol development, team training, and ongoing operational support — providing a complete integration capability rather than a one-time equipment deployment. Every engagement is developed collaboratively with agency tactical leadership.

CIE Defense delivers UAS operator training programs that go beyond platform familiarization — developing operators who understand airspace regulations, mission planning, tactical integration, and the operational decision-making that separates capable UAS operators from technically proficient pilots.

Training programs are developed to agency-specific requirements and operational environments — accounting for the specific platforms the agency operates, the mission profiles they need to support, and the regulatory framework within which they operate. Every program is built and delivered by instructors with real-world operational UAS deployment experience.

CIE Defense provides payload and sensor integration services that transform standard commercial UAS platforms into mission-optimized operational tools — selecting, configuring, and integrating payloads to the specific requirements of each mission profile and operational environment.

For authorized military and government programs, CIE Defense's payload integration capability extends to lethal and non-lethal payload configurations — developed and integrated in full compliance with applicable federal regulations and program authorization requirements.

CIE Defense provides end-to-end mission planning and operational support that treats pre-mission preparation as the most important phase of every UAS deployment. Our planning process accounts for airspace structure and waiver requirements, weather and environmental factors, communication architecture, emergency procedures, interagency coordination, and the specific operational objectives and constraints of each mission.

Beyond individual mission support, CIE Defense provides program-level UAS support — helping agencies develop the institutional planning frameworks, standard operating procedures, and post-mission analysis processes that transform individual deployments into a sustainable, continuously improving operational program.
