Counter-UAS Red Team Operations
Adversary-side testing of drone defenses.
Think like the threat: how to stress-test a counter-UAS program, design realistic incursion scenarios, and find the gaps before an adversary does. For builders and assessors.

Brian Rutherford brings an operator's lens to the drone threat. He is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran whose decorations include multiple Combat “V”s, including a Bronze Star. In the Marine Corps, SSgt Rutherford also served as a Combat Marksmanship Instructor and Foreign Weapons Instructor and trained in high-risk personnel protection and tactical combat casualty care, among other things. As a U.S. State Department protective-security professional with Triple Canopy, he led protective operations in high-threat environments. He is an FAA Part 107 pilot, Clemson UAS graduate, NIST BPERP certified, and a certified infrared thermographer, and previously built and scaled a government-contracting company. His career has been about reading threats, protecting people and sites from them, and thinking like the adversary who creates them — the exact discipline counter-UAS demands.
