Two UAS workshops offered

Sinclair Community College will hold two workshops before the second annual Ohio Unmanned Aerial Systems Conference April 23-25, the school announced Monday.

Sinclair and Riverside Research will present two, one-day courses, Introduction to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Current State of UAS Standards and Regulations, through its UAS Training & Certification Center on Sinclair’s downtown Dayton campus.

Introduction to UAS on March 25 introduces specialized technologies including newly developed sensors, aviation platforms, products and applications. Participants will explore ways to integrate their areas of interest with UAS capabilities through scenarios covering a variety of uses.

Current State of UAS Standards and Regulations on March 26 reviews today’s UAS regulations and best practices and provides an outlook for anticipated federal guidance in the future. Operating UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS) is a major concern and is an area of research emphasis.

Both classes will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Sinclair Conference Center, Building 12, located at West Fourth and South Perry streets downtown. The special package fee for both classes is $500, and include materials, continental breakfast, lunch, and parking in the Sinclair Conference Center’s underground parking garage.
