Comment “Workshop” to save your seat.
Most people sort weapons by air, land or sea. That tells you what a weapon looks like, not how it fails.
On 29 September, former military intelligence officer Travis Butson is hosting a free live workshop on how analysts actually read technical weapon systems.
Travis Butson has spent 13 years turning weapons into intelligence. He directed intelligence operations for a 60-nation coalition against the Islamic State. He protected US Navy aircraft over the South China Sea. And he holds advanced qualifications in weapons intelligence, electronic warfare and targeting.
Applied TECHINT in Threat System Exploitation covers:
→ The Data Rate Tree: his framework for classifying any weapon, from a landmine to a hypersonic missile, by how targeting information flows through it
→ Questions that expose a system's decision points, and why every one is a vulnerability
→ A live, component-by-component breakdown of the AIM-9 Sidewinder
→ Weapon, platform, operator: why a weapon never works alone
→ Live Q&A with Travis
If your work depends on what a weapon can really do, whether you're an analyst, journalist, researcher, investor or underwriter, this hour is for you.
