Counter Terrorism

Counter Terrorism Intelligence, Training & Operational Support

Counter-terrorism teams operate in a threat environment that changes constantly. Adversaries adapt, technologies evolve, and tactics can move rapidly between regions.

Responding effectively requires more than access to information. It requires the ability to identify credible threats, understand what they mean and translate intelligence into informed operational decisions.

EW Solutions (EWS) supports counter-terrorism departments, government agencies, law enforcement, defence organisations and national security teams with specialist intelligence, Electronic Warfare (EW), Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), training, consultancy and engineering support. As a UK-based EW and CEMA specialist operating globally, EWS combines operational experience, technical expertise and proprietary threat intelligence to help organisations understand evolving risks, strengthen specialist capabilities and prepare for emerging threats.

Intelligence-Led Counter Terrorism Solutions

Counter terrorism rarely sits within a single function.

Analysts need reliable threat intelligence. Operational personnel need relevant training. Capability teams need to understand whether existing systems remain effective, while decision-makers need independent advice on new technologies and emerging requirements.

EWS brings these areas together through an intelligence-led approach covering:

  • Threat intelligence and OSINT
  • IED and RCIED intelligence
  • Drone and UxV threat analysis
  • Intelligence analysis and reporting
  • EW and CEMA expertise
  • Counter-IED and counter-UAS training
  • Independent capability consultancy
  • Electronic countermeasure support
  • Specialist engineering and system integration

This ensures intelligence can directly inform training, operational planning, procurement and capability development.

Counter Terrorism Intelligence That Goes Beyond the Headlines

Knowing that an incident has occurred is only the starting point.

Counter-terrorism teams need to understand what happened, how it happened, what technology or methodology was used and whether similar activity has been seen elsewhere.

At EW Solutions, we use Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), structured datasets and specialist analysis to help organisations build that deeper picture.

Support can include:

  • Global threat and risk analysis
  • OSINT intelligence collection
  • Technical incident analysis
  • Country and regional intelligence reports
  • Requests for Information (RFIs)
  • Monitoring emerging tactics, techniques and procedures
  • Intelligence support for operational and strategic decision-making

OSINT for Counter Terrorism

OSINT is an increasingly important part of modern counter terrorism intelligence.

News reporting, social media, video, imagery, technical documentation and other publicly available sources can all contribute to the intelligence picture. The challenge is determining what is relevant, credible and significant.

EWS analysts combine OSINT with technical and operational expertise to help teams identify patterns, investigate incidents and understand how adversary capabilities are developing.

For organisations looking to strengthen internal capability, EWS also provides specialist OSINT and intelligence analysis training.

OSTD: Global IED and RCIED Threat Intelligence

Improvised threats continue to evolve as adversaries adapt available technology, components and delivery methods.

Our open-source threat data base (OSTD) provides structured, unclassified threat intelligence on IED and RCIED incidents worldwide.

Counter-terrorism teams can use OSTD to explore:

  • Global IED and RCIED incidents
  • Device characteristics and technical information
  • Emerging tactics, techniques and procedures
  • Geographic and regional trends
  • Historical patterns of activity
  • Supporting imagery and multimedia
  • Country and regional threat profiles

Because the intelligence is structured and searchable, analysts can move beyond individual incidents and identify wider trends, recurring methodologies and changes in adversary behaviour.

This provides a stronger evidence base for threat assessment, operational planning and countermeasure development.

OverSite: Understanding the Drone and UxV Threat

Commercial availability and rapid technological development have made unmanned systems increasingly relevant to counter terrorism and national security.

Potential threats can range from hostile reconnaissance and payload delivery to disruption and attacks against sensitive sites.

OverSite is EWS's specialist UxV threat intelligence platform, providing structured OSINT and technical analysis across:

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
  • Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs)
  • Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs
  • Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs)

The platform helps analysts, planners, engineers and capability teams understand technical characteristics, operational use, deployment patterns, emerging technologies and adversary tactics.

For counter-UAS and counter-UxV teams, this provides an intelligence-led foundation for threat assessment, electronic warfare planning and capability development.

Specialist Counter Terrorism, EW & CEMA Training

Technology only delivers capability when the people operating and supporting it have the right knowledge and skills.

EWS provides specialist EW & CEMA training courses for defence, national security, law enforcement and counter-terrorism organisations.

Training is delivered by experienced specialists and can be adapted around operational requirements, existing knowledge and specific threats.

Courses and training areas include:

  • Intelligence Analysis & Reporting - intelligence cycles, network analysis, link analysis, reporting and threat assessment.
  • Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) - collection, validation, analysis and exploitation of publicly available information.
  • Electronic Warfare Training - electronic surveillance, electronic attack, electronic defence and mission planning.
  • CEMA Training - developing understanding and capability across the electromagnetic environment.
  • Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) - communications intelligence, signals analysis and operational application.
  • Counter-IED Training - understanding improvised threats, electronic countermeasures and evolving adversary techniques.
  • Counter-UAS & Counter-UxV Training - drone threat awareness, platform capabilities, emerging technologies, forensics and defeat methods.
  • Electromagnetic Training Solutions - tailored EM training for organisations with specific operational or technical requirements.

Training can be delivered at customer locations, specialist training facilities or in relevant operational environments.

Independent Counter Terrorism Consultancy

Effective capability decisions begin with a clear understanding of the threat and operational requirement.

EWS provides specialist consultancy services for counter-terrorism organisations.

Our consultancy is intelligence-led and vendor-agnostic, meaning the operational problem comes first rather than a particular technology or manufacturer.

Support can include:

  • Threat and operational analysis
  • Capability assessments
  • Identification of capability gaps
  • EW and CEMA strategy
  • Counter-UAS consultancy
  • Technology assessment
  • Procurement support
  • Technical assurance
  • System and capability integration

This independent approach helps organisations reduce procurement risk and invest in counter terrorism solutions that address genuine operational needs.

Engineering Support for Mission-Critical Capability

Specialist systems need to perform beyond controlled testing environments. Operational support for defence and national security organisations across system integration, electronic countermeasures, field support and operational capability.

Engineering support includes:

  • System integration
  • Electronic countermeasure support
  • ECM field trials
  • Counter-UAS technical support
  • Field engineering
  • Troubleshooting
  • Mission support
  • Managed ECM services

By connecting engineering with threat intelligence and consultancy, EWS helps organisations ensure technical decisions remain aligned with the evolving threat environment.

Supporting the Counter Terrorism Mission

Effective counter terrorism is an ongoing cycle of understanding, preparation and adaptation.

EWS can support organisations across that cycle:
