Mark Lewellen of RMT Spectrum Associates, named Instructor for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) course
The Applied Technology Institute (ATI) is pleased to announce that Mark N. Lewellen of RMT Associates, Inc. has been selected to teach an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) course. UAS are a dynamically growing area of interest to the military. They range from the small single man launched Raven system to the large armed Predator system.
This one-day course is designed for engineers, aviation experts and project managers who wish to enhance their understanding of UAS. The course provides the “big picture” for those who work outside of the discipline. Each topic addresses real systems (Predator, Shadow, Warrior and others) and real-world problems and issues concerning the use and expansion of their applications.
What You Will Learn:
• Categories of current UAS and their aeronautical capabilities
• Major manufactures of UAS
• The latest developments and major components of a UAS
• The types of sensor data can UAS provide
• Regulatory and spectrum issues associated with UAS
• National Airspace System including the different classes of airspace
• How UAS will gain access to the National Airspace System (NAS)
