Drönarkrigföring är det största tekniksprång som skett under Rysslands anfallskrig mot Ukraina - de två krigförande länderna leder utvecklingen på området. Den ukrainska kursen Drone Warfare Awareness Course (DWAC), som med stöd från Swedint tidigare i år Natocertifierats, är en av de utbildningar som behövs för att Sverige och Nato ska komma ikapp kunskapsmässigt.

I förra veckan avslutades en DWAC på Swedint för officerare och specialistofficerare på Försvarsmaktens 1:a division. Divisionschefen, Brigadgeneral Magnus Frykvall, är medveten om hur utbildningsbehoven ser ut när det gäller drönarkrigföring.

UNITED NATIONS DAY, 24 October

The UN Day is observed annually on October 24 since the UN Charter entered into force – and the UN was born - in 1945. The day highlights the aims, achievements, and ongoing mission of the UN, which include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, and promoting sustainable development. The theme for 2026 is UNlimited Together, highlighting disability inclusion and the leadership of persons with disabilities.

Having trained and deployed many United Nations peacekeepers to international missions through the years, SWEDINT also on this day acknowledges the many men and women who have given their all for peace in missions around the world.

Drone Warfare Awareness Course - First Certified drone course in NATO

The pilot iteration of the Drone Warfare Awareness Course (DWAC) was just delivered with successful results at SWEDINT. The proposal from NATO's Requirement Authority is that the course is certified as NATO Selected. The course is developed and delivered by the Ukrainian International Peacekeeping and Security Centre, supported by SWEDINT. The DWAC is thus the first drone course in NATO that will become NATO certified - a major contribution to the warfare capability of the Alliance.

Effective NATO English: Enhancing your precision and influence

Swedish officers generally have a strong command of English, but what can a two-day course in NATO English truly offer?

“When you, as a staff officer, deliver a verbal briefing to a senior commander, your message must be concise and precise. SWEDINT’s course 'NATO English for Military Planners' focuses on familiarising you with the terminology used in NATO staff work to convey your message effectively,” explains Jacqueline Anwar, English language instructor at the Swedish Defence University.

The 'NATO English for Military Planners' (NEMP) course is geared toward staff officers and those at higher tactical levels, emphasising advanced operational planning. The course is conducted over two days at SWEDINT in Kungsängen, twice a year. The next session will occur in autumn 2026, with specific dates yet to be announced.
