Embry-Riddle to Train Unmanned Aircraft Pilots

 

Anticipates Increasing Demand For UAV Pilots In The U.S. In Two Years

As early as 2012, thousands of civilian unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) could take to the sky, if the FAA allows them to share U.S. airspace with other aircraft. When that happens, professionals will be needed to operate them remotely, both as pilots and as sensor operators, when they carry video and audio equipment.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is stepping up to fill that need with a new minor in Unmanned Aircraft Systems that begins on the university's Daytona Beach, FL, campus in the fall semester of 2010. The 15-credit minor will consist of five courses: Unmanned Aircraft Systems; Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations and Cross-Country Data Entry; Operational Aspects of Unmanned Aircraft; UAS Robotics; and Unmanned Sensing Systems.
