Training & Readiness

A platform is operated
by people.

Operators who know how to work the queue, analysts who can configure and read the fusion, and commanders who have used the thing before the night they have to rely on it. This service builds and assesses that capability against a written standard.

Familiarity with an interface is not the same as competence under time pressure. This service is for closing the distance between seen it and done it, and for having a record that says which.
02
What you get

Instruction, exercise
and a written standard.

Every program is built around your deployment, your roles and your own scenarios. Delivery is by practitioners who have operated the platform, not read about it.

Certification

Operator certification

Platform navigation, alert handling, field coordination and TAK workflows as they exist in your deployment, assessed rather than attended.

Certification

Analyst certification

Fusion pipeline configuration, cross domain correlation, querying and intelligence product generation, worked against your own data and your own asset model.

Command

Command and executive sessions

For the people who have to act: reading the ranked picture, interrogating an item, and deciding with the coverage and the uncertainty in front of them.

Exercise

Facilitated tabletop exercises

Your team working the platform through scenarios drawn from your estate, under a clock, with the decisions and the timings recorded as they happen.

Exercise

Wargaming and red team support

Structured play against adversary courses of action, with a red team pressing the assumptions your deployment rests on and an after action record at the end.

Program

Train the trainer

Instructor development inside your organization, so routine onboarding and refresher training can be run by your own people without us in the room.

03
How it runs

Baseline, build,
then test it.

Course length is agreed after the baseline, not before it. The order below holds regardless of how large the program turns out to be.

Capability baseline

Who operates, who analyzes, who decides, and what each of them already does without the platform. Training built on an assumed baseline teaches the wrong people the wrong thing.

Before design
Program design

A course architecture per role, tied to your deployment and written against an assessable standard, agreed with you before anything is delivered.

Agreed with you
Instruction

Delivered by practitioners who have operated AETHOS in a live environment, using your configuration rather than a demonstration tenant.

Delivery
Exercise

Tabletop or wargame against scenarios from your own estate, run under a clock, observed and recorded.

Under a clock
Assessment

Participants are assessed against the written standard. A certificate says what was demonstrated, and the record says what was not.

Against the standard
Instructor handover

Where train the trainer is in scope, your instructors deliver under observation before they carry the program themselves.

Where in scope
04
What you leave with

Records that survive
the turnover.

Training is worth what remains after the people who attended it move on. Everything below is yours to keep, reuse and re run.

  • Course material written against your deployment and your configuration
  • Certification records per participant, against a stated and assessable standard
  • Exercise scenarios and injects reusable, so the exercise can be run again without us
  • After action record decisions taken, timings observed, and what the exercise surfaced
  • Instructor material lesson plans and assessment guidance where train the trainer is in scope
  • Gap statement what the program did not cover, and what that leaves untested

What this service does not promise.

It does not promise a performance figure. Certification records what a person demonstrated on the day, against a standard you can read, and an exercise record says what happened in that exercise. Neither is a claim about how your organization will perform in an incident.

It does not promise that training substitutes for coverage. Where the deployment is partial, an exercise will show that, and the after action record will say so rather than working around it.

In the first meeting

We look at one role in your organization and one scenario you already worry about, and say what a credible standard for that role would have to include.
