Red teaming is adapting an adversarial approach in order to encourage an outsider perspective. Organizations can get a view of themselves from the perspectives of their adversaries, enemies and competition in order to perceive new threats. Red Teaming traces its roots to military operations where leaders must assess mission readiness and scrutinize battle plans to discover weaknesses, foresee adversary moves, and improve their strategies. 

A new collaboration will enhance counter UAS efforts. Liteye Systems has teamed with a red team strategic advisory company, Red Six Solutions. 

Liteye is the manufacturer, integrator, training, and services provider of the Anti-UAS Defense System (AUDS) currently being utilized by the U.S. Government for countering Unmanned Aerial System threats being used by adversarial militaries and terrorist organizations worldwide. 

Red Six Solutions is a red team company specializing in the global analysis of the small UAS threats. Red Six provides its clients “over-the-horizon” insights into the UAS challenges being posed against military and law enforcement, according to prnewswire.com. 

Kenneth Allen Geyer, CEO of Liteye System explains, “Working with Red Six analysts allows Liteye to plan and test against emerging threats.” “Red Six provides the look into-the-future that has allowed AUDS to be effective in combat against threats being used by ISIS, Iran and others.”

Red Six Solutions has extensive knowledge and expertise in replicating the capabilities and tactics of UAS threats. According to Dr. Scott Crino, CEO, Red Six Solutions, “Our industry leading experts travel the globe to learn about the threat and to assess the commercial counter UAS marketplace.”
