Announcing Our New TECHINT Fundamentals Course: Learn to Read Weapon Systems

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

TECHINT FUNDAMENTALS

Hey Reader

Today we’re launching the biggest course we’ve ever built at Grey Dynamics Intelligence School.

TECHINT: Technical Intelligence.

15 modules, 78 video lessons, on how weapon systems actually work: what they do, how they do it, and why it matters to the decisions you make.

The instructor is Travis Butson. His CV reads like the syllabus

Role

Where

Intelligence Commander, Operation Inherent Resolve

609th Combined Air Operations Centre, Qatar - 60+ nation coalition, advising a 3-star general

Intelligence Commander, Operation Inherent Resolve

Japan - protecting aircraft from aggressive intercepts over the South and East China Seas

Deputy Director Open-Source Intelligence (final post; retired 2026)

HQ New Zealand Defence Force

He retired from the military earlier this year and now teaches full-time at Grey Dynamics Intelligence School.

Here’s why I think this matters beyond the intelligence world. Investors are pricing defence companies on renders.

Underwriters are modelling war risk on brochures.

Journalists are republishing air show mock-ups as new fighter jets.

Almost nobody has been taught how to read hardware, and hardware is where the truth lives.

This course teaches the methodology. Not spec memorisation. Methodology.

Dear Decision Maker, Roughly 50,000 people crossed into one small Spanish city on the African Continent in little over a day. At least 67 of them died doing it. And within two days, almost all of them had walked back into Morocco. Voluntarily. That is Ceuta this week. And if your feed looks anything like mine, you already got the verdict before you got the facts: "Hybrid warfare. Morocco weaponising migrants against Spain." And the proof, the thing everyone kept resharing, was a video of...

Dear Decision Maker, First, an apology. Last week's newsletter didn't reach everyone. Some of you got it, some of you didn't, and that's on us. We had a technical issue on the send, and we've fixed it. If you felt like you'd been dropped, you hadn't. Thank you for sticking with me. Now, to this week. I've been thinking about this topic for a while. It keeps coming up: In client conversations In the headlines In the quiet questions people ask me when the recording stops I've written before...

Dear Decision Maker, I'm Travis Butson, Technical Intelligence Instructor here at Grey Dynamics. Ahmed has given me the reins for the email this week to introduce myself, share a little about my background, and talk in detail about Grey Dynamics’ recently released Technical Intelligence Fundamentals course.
