Ninja can detect communication signals ranging from 70 MHz to 6 GHz in real-time—without causing any indiscriminate interference to friendly RF systems typically realized by conventional UAS jamming technologies. The RF detection method detects UAS communications at significant ranges (>10km in many cases) with near-zero false alarms). Ninja C-sUAS is designated by the US DoD Joint C-UAS Office (JCO) as an approved solution. The Ninja family of Counter-small UAS (C-sUAS) systems, comprising the Ninja Gen2, TRx, and Dismount, and Rx footprints, are tailored to meet different Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements in support of fixed site, expeditionary, and hand-held operational deployments. When used in concert, multiple Ninja products offer increased system-of-system capabilities such as increased area coverage and swarm mitigation. Black River is the OEM for the Ninja C-sUAS family of products. The Ninja C-sUAS are widely deployed operationally CONUS and OCONUS, including by foreign militaries across 200+ installations. Black River Systems Company is an employee-owned small business founded in 1996 and headquartered in Utica, NY.

Bishop was promoted to the Senior Executive Service in December 2022 and appointed DOT&E Deputy Director for Land and Expeditionary Warfare. In this capacity, he is responsible for the oversight and adequacy of operational test and evaluation for land force capabilities, including ground vehicles and platforms, rotary-wing aviation, tactical unmanned aerial systems, command, control and communications systems, force protection systems, and artillery, mortars and missiles. Mr. Bishop was commissioned at the United States Military Academy in May 1985 as a lieutenant in Armor. During his 27 years of distinguished Army service, he held numerous key assignments, including: Armored Company Commander during Operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm; Executive Officer, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division; Commander, 1-37 Armor Regiment during its 15-month Operation Iraqi Freedom deployment in Baghdad and Karbala; and Aide de Camp, United States Security Coordinator, Israel-Palestinian Authority (later, Deputy Commander, U.S. European Command). These critical experiences continue to inform his warfighter-centric approach to operational test and evaluation. Following his retirement in the grade of colonel, Mr. Bishop chose to continue supporting national defense by joining DOT&E as a civilian military analyst and interdisciplinary engineer. During his 10 years in this position, Mr. Bishop was responsible for the evaluation of most land-based ground combat systems. He also led development of a new Department of Defense Instruction for test and evaluation, which encompasses developmental, operational, and integrated test and evaluation. In addition, he developed DOD’s Test and Evaluation Guidebook and was instrumental in crafting the 2022 DOT&E Strategy Update and its implementation plan. Mr. Bishop is a native of Philadelphia. He holds a Bachelor of Science from the United States Military Academy, a master’s degree in industrial engineering from New Mexico State University, and a Master of National Security Strategies from the National Defense University. His many awards and decorations include the Presidential Unit Citation, Joint Meritorious Unit Award with one oak leaf cluster, the Army Superior Unit Award, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal with Valor Device, the Bronze Star Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Meritorious Service Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Ribbon with three Bronze Stars, the Iraq Campaign Medal with two Bronze Stars, and the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Star.</p></div><div class="topic-description"> <li>The ongoing conflicts (e.g., Ukraine/Russia, Gaza/Israel, Yemen) have shown that UAS and C-UAS systems are deeply entrenched into, if not central to, modern military tactics.</li> <li>Evolution of Unmanned Air System Threat</li> <li>Peer threats have emerged to cover all levels of battle space, based on lessons from SCW + Ukraine.

Ninja can detect communication signals ranging from 70 MHz to 6 GHz in real-time—without causing any indiscriminate interference to friendly RF systems typically realized by conventional UAS jamming technologies. The RF detection method detects UAS communications at significant ranges (>10km in many cases) with near-zero false alarms). Ninja C-sUAS is designated by the US DoD Joint C-UAS Office (JCO) as an approved solution. The Ninja family of Counter-small UAS (C-sUAS) systems, comprising the Ninja Gen2, TRx, and Dismount, and Rx footprints, are tailored to meet different Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements in support of fixed site, expeditionary, and hand-held operational deployments. When used in concert, multiple Ninja products offer increased system-of-system capabilities such as increased area coverage and swarm mitigation.

It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is: </p> <p> <i>‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’</i> </p> <p> CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities. </p> <p> Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld. </p> <p> CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading. </p> <h3> CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES</h3> <p> There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD. </p> <p> For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained. </p> <p> CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities. </p> <h3> TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)</h3> <p> Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based. </p> <p> <b>‘Input’</b> based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning. </p> <p> <b>‘Output’</b> based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning. </p> <p> The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently. </p> <p> As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements. </p> <h3> GLOBAL CPD</h3> <p> Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards.
