Freedom to Drone: T
Why Unmanned Aircraft Systems Are the Future
he future is here. No doubt about it the drone industry has taken off, with 70,000 jobs projected in three years of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) integration into U.S. airspace. The world’s largest organization devoted to advancing unmanned systems and robotics also anticipates 100,000 jobs in UAS manufacturing alone within a decade.
Here, three professors talk about their roles in meeting the goals and metrics for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to use in planning for UAS integration, and three 2014 college graduates talk about how they matched their studies, research, and technical skills in robotics, electrical engineering, computer science, and aerospace engineering to real-world UAS jobs.
Whether the position involves robotics, geographic information systems (GIS), or developing unmanned systems radar, radio, navigation, and missile control
systems in aircraft or space vehicles, UAS skills are what you need to succeed in this fast-growing field.
