This relatively new technology provides readily apparent opportunities that are exploitable; however, operating in the volatile and changing realm of the National Air Space (NAS) as it pertains to drones can be challenging. Public Safety personnel need to evaluate several key areas in order to determine if UAS are a viable airborne platform for the organization’s aviation requirements.
This course examines nefarious unmanned aviation operations as well, looking at the threat UAS pose from careless, clueless, and criminal actors. Students will develop the knowledge to profile intent based on adherence to established rules and procedures.
Students will:
- Identify rules & Regulations associated with Public Use operations
- Identify rules & Regulations associated with Commercial Operations
- Identify rules & Regulations associated with Model/Recreation Flights
- Compare and Contrast Public Safety Operations Under Part 107 and a Public Use Certificate of Authorization
- Examine Capabilities of sUAS for Public Safety Missions
- Create strategies to Develop Community Support for sUAS Programs
The course concludes with a facilitated discussion on the future of UAS operations and provides resources, from the UAS community at large, to keep abreast of the changing landscape.
