ASC 2562C - UAS Operations and Cross Country Data Entry

3 Credit Hours
(Offered as needed)

This course will address the use of the various systems and navigation equipment that exists on unmanned aircraft. Students will learn to analyze and identify the different systems that are employed on unmanned aircraft. They will identify the appropriate navigational system packages that are employed on various unmanned aircraft. Unmanned aircraft employ navigation systems that are, in many ways, significantly different than manned aircraft. These systems include navigation by ground observers; navigation using GPS determined position on a ground-based moving map display; and fully-autonomous GPS-based navigation. Students will differentiate the types of navigation systems available; and use the appropriate procedure to enter the navigation data into the unmanned aircraft’s navigational system.
