UAS 103 - UAS Simulations


Description: Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) concepts of operation using simulation. Includes map reading, data collection strategies and techniques, mission planning, live data dissemination, and end-of-mission report writing. Focus on aircrew coordination.

Credits: 3
Lecture: 3
Lab: 0

Course Content:
  1. Map reading and coordinate plotting
  2. Data collection strategies.
  3. Map to UAS video correlation
  4. UAS searching strategies (point, route, and area)
  5. Communication with ground personnel
  6. Live scenario exercise training
  7. End-of-mission report writing

Learning Outcomes:
  1. Interpret map symbology and plot coordinates in Latitude and Longitude, UTM, and MGRS coordinate systems. (1)
  2. Interpret and create data collection strategy sheets. (2)
  3. Determine UAS locations using simulated videos and maps. (3)
  4. Perform effective point, route, and area searches using a simulated UAS. (4)
  5. Communicate data in real time to simulated ground personnel. (5)
  6. Operate a simulated UAS in a live exercise to gather data, make decisions, communicate to ground personnel, and affect the outcome of a scenario. (6)
  7. Create an end-of-mission report. (7)
