Preparing Agencies for Grounded and Weaponized Drone Incidents

38 Sierra delivers operationally focused Counter-UAS Training, Weaponized Drone Training, and Drone Incident Response Training (DIRT™) for military, federal, state, and local agencies nationwide.

When drones crash, are abandoned, deliver contraband, or are intentionally weaponized — your personnel must know how to respond safely, preserve evidence, and escalate appropriately.

National Leader in Grounded & Weaponized Drone Response Training

Most Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) discussions focus on detection and airspace mitigation.

38 Sierra focuses on what happens next.

When a drone is on the ground, it becomes a:

  • Potential explosive hazard

  • Intelligence opportunity

  • Forensic evidence source

  • Officer safety risk

Our training prepares agencies to safely manage that moment.

DIRT™ – Drone Incident Response Training

DIRT™ (Drone Incident Response Training) is 38 Sierra’s operationally focused Counter-UAS Training program designed to prepare law enforcement, corrections personnel, and Bomb Squads to safely respond to crashed, downed, or suspicious drones. This is not hobby drone awareness—DIRT™ addresses real-world criminal and weaponized drone threats.

Our training equips agencies with practical procedures for safe approach, hazard recognition, payload identification, and structured reporting of grounded unmanned aircraft systems. The program includes current threat briefings, hands-on exposure to inert hazard replicas, and advanced modules for Weaponized Drone Training and Bomb Squad Drone Response.

DIRT™ delivers field-ready capability to enhance officer safety, improve interagency coordination, and ensure your agency is prepared for modern drone incidents.

Prepare Your Agency for the Drone Threat Environment

Drones are already being used for contraband delivery, criminal reconnaissance, and weaponized attacks. The question is not if your personnel will encounter a drone incident — it’s whether they will be prepared to respond safely and professionally.

38 Sierra delivers operationally focused Drone Incident Response Training that equips law enforcement, corrections, and Bomb Squads with clear, defensible, field-ready procedures.

Strengthen your agency’s readiness. Protect your personnel. Close the capability gap.
