Introduction to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Introduction to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS):

In this course, enrollees are introduced to specialized technologies including newly developed sensors, aviation platforms, products and applications. Participants will explore ways to integrate their areas of interest with UAS capabilities through engaging scenarios covering a variety of use cases. (One day)

What participants will come away with:

The rapid expansion of UAS is building on the existing infrastructure of aviation, air vehicle design, and an ever-expanding range of applications.  UASs allow low cost and limited risk solutions for providing a variety of data sources supporting law enforcement and military functions including exploring hostile environments without risk of human life.  The maturation of UASs have necessitated a significant transition of the national air traffic control system, air traffic control training, pilot training, air space operations, sensor packages, data collection methods, and data processing centers.  For all these reasons, the creation and availability of quality UAS related courses and training is vital for the continued growth and safety of UAS operations in the United States.

Learning Outcomes:

– Identify how UAS influence our society both today and tomorrow.

– Define common terms in the UAS community.

– Explain common UAS applications.

– Explain UAS operational considerations.

– Explain UAS career and application opportunities.
