What is a drone cyber range?
A drone cyber range is an isolated environment where learners and teams can practice cybersecurity tasks against simulated or controlled unmanned aircraft systems without risking live operations.
Do I need a real drone?
No. Most ZoneOfWar missions are designed to run virtually. Advanced enterprise labs can add physical components when required.
Is this a hacking platform?
ZoneOfWar teaches authorized offensive and defensive security. Offensive techniques are used inside controlled labs to improve understanding, detection, product security and resilience.
Who is it for?
Cybersecurity practitioners, incident responders, product-security teams, drone engineers, universities, researchers and organizations that rely on unmanned systems.
Can teams compete?
Yes. Red vs Blue missions are designed for multi-user exercises with shared objectives and live scoring.
Can universities use it for teaching?
Yes. Academic packages should include class cohorts, instructor controls, assignments and performance reporting.
Can it run privately?
The product roadmap supports private cloud and on-prem deployments for sensitive organizations.
Does ZoneOfWar transmit jamming or spoofing signals?
The default platform uses simulation and isolated cyber environments. Any advanced physical RF work must be separately controlled, authorized and legally compliant.
How is progress measured?
Every mission generates a score across dimensions like detection, containment, mission integrity, evidence quality and time to detect or contain, plus a full after-action report you can review and share.
What does it cost?
There is a free Explorer account with limited rotating missions. Paid Practitioner and Team plans unlock the full mission library, learning paths and analytics. Academic and Enterprise pricing is custom — see the Pricing page for current details.
