INTRODUCTION TO UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS

Catalog description

Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), will be an introduction to the history of the practical application of UAS. The course will also be an introduction to a broad range of unmanned aerial systems used for remote sensing. These systems will include surveillance satellites, fixed wing aircraft and rotary wing aircraft, including helicopter and multi-copters, as well as hybrid systems. In addition, the course will be an introduction to the technology of a specific UAS including the airframe, motors, batteries, the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), the flight controller, and Radio Control (RC) transmitters. In the process, the student will become familiar with the nomenclature associated with the UAS.
