COURSE OVERVIEW

Unmanned Air Vehicle Design Training covers the design of unmanned air vehicles. The Unmanned Air Vehicle Design course will cover the history and classes of UAVs, requirement definition, command and control concepts, and UAV aircraft design. It provides a first-hand understanding of the entire design and development process for unmanned vehicles from their involvement in the DARPA MAV development and as the lead for the Army’s Brigade Combat Team Modernization Class I, Increment Two vehicle. The instructor is currently working towards the first flight and was a key contributor to requirements development, conceptual design, and design optimization. UAV’s history will be covered and the lessons learned and the breadth of the design space. UAVs are and will be key components of aviation. From the nano-sized flapping vehicles to the extreme duration of high-altitude surveillance vehicles.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this Unmanned Air Vehicle Design course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • UAV design is not a simple task that can be fully learned in a short time, however, the scope of the problem can be outlined
  • The design process is similar to any aircraft design, but there are unique tasks involved in replacing the intelligence of the pilot.
  • The long history of UAVs and the breadth of the design space will be covered
  • Lessons learned from experience and observation will be shared in the course.
  • We will cover the tools and techniques that are used to make design decisions and modifications.
  • Representative practical examples of UAVs will be presented.
CUSTOMIZE IT
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this Unmanned Air Vehicle Design Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of this Unmanned Air Vehicle Design course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Unmanned Air Vehicle Design course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Unmanned Air Vehicle Design course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
