Ghost Labs delivers hands-on technical training built on real-world engineering and operational experience. Our curriculum is standardized, repeatable, and commercially available, ensuring the same high standard of instruction for U.S. Government personnel, industry professionals, and individual learners. Courses are led by senior engineers with extensive field and development experience, and every program blends lecture with practical application to ensure students leave with usable, mission-ready skills.

​

Ghost Labs currently provides training across the following technical disciplines:

• Electronics

  • Foundational to advanced instruction in circuit theory, component selection, circuit assembly, battery systems, troubleshooting, and hands-on hardware development.

• ​Embedded Systems

  • Microcontroller programming, digital and analog interfacing, communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI), data collection, automation, and advanced embedded system integration.

• ​Single-Board Computing (SBC)

  • Linux-based development, Python automation, sensor integration, video streaming, data exfiltration, and payload development for ground and airborne systems.

• ​Unmanned Systems

  • Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV), and mission-focused payload integration, platform optimization, flight automation, and BVLOS considerations.

• ​Circuit Board Design

  • PCB design fundamentals through advanced mixed-signal, high-speed, and RF layout techniques, including DFM, impedance control, stack-up planning, and fabrication file generation.

• ​Mechanical Design

  • Modeling, 3D printing, DFM, CAM, and CNC machining for rapid prototyping and production of mission-specific enclosures, mounts, and structural components.

• ​RF, Antenna Design & Software Defined Radio (SDR)

  • RF fundamentals, antenna design and testing, RF simulation, impedance matching, amplifier design, and hands-on SDR configuration for signal analysis and collection.

• ​Electronic Signature Management & Digital Tradecraft

  • Operational security, signature reduction, digital attribution minimization, and mitigation of electronic exposure in contested or high-risk environments.

• ​Technical Operations

  • Vehicular surveillance system design and integration, power architecture planning, video/audio/signal collection systems, concealment techniques, and end-to-end operational deployment.

 

Each course is structured to support technicians, engineers, operators, and program managers responsible for designing, integrating, deploying, or sustaining technical systems. Programs are offered at the Ghost Labs facility in Fredericksburg, Virginia, or can be delivered on-site as required.
