This three‑day course provides advanced in-person instruction in the verification and validation (V&V) of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) using standardized test methods developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The course emphasizes objective performance evaluation of aircraft, sensors, payloads, and operators through structured, repeatable testing rather than subjective assessment. Participants gain practical experience applying scientific test methodologies to quantify system

Hosted by Maverick Space Systems in San Luis Obispo, California The objectives of this course are to improve your understanding of force limiting as a method of avoiding excessive loading during a vibration test, including ... – Technical rationale – NASA’s semi-empirical method – Deriving force limits – Implementing force limiting principles without the use of force sensors, with response limiting and manual notching

Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) refers to a range of techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage. NDE is crucial in various industries, including aerospace, defense, casting, welding, energy, automotive, additive manufacturing, and electronics, as it ensures the integrity and reliability of products and structures.
