From September 30 to October 29, young scientists from our university are taking a course on unmanned systems, where they are learning not only how to operate drones but also how to design the technologies of tomorrow.
The continuing professional education program brought together colleagues from the Engineering Project Management Center, the Scientific Research Coordination Office, faculty, and graduate students of the State University of Management. Young employees are mastering three specialties: unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operator, unmanned aerial system (UAS) operation specialist, and UAV monitoring specialist.
The first stage of the training was theory. Alexander Makrushen, Deputy Head of Engineering Projects at MEO LLC, introduced the audience to legislation and key documents in the field of UAS, the design features of flying drones, their aerodynamics, and classification. A separate section was devoted to the history of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology development in Russia and around the world—from the first experiments to modern industrial solutions.
Practical training takes place at the Moscow State Pedagogical University's Institute of Digital Education. Under the guidance of instructor Konstantin Ivankin, participants master UAV piloting skills, from training in flight simulators to actual flights on a specially equipped indoor platform.
Course participants learn how to submit UAV registration applications and flight operations, create pre-flight and post-flight inspection checklists, and configure and calibrate equipment. They also explore the design and electronics of drones using a working quadcopter as an example. Furthermore, the course incorporates elements of machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as software development for navigation systems, motion control, automatic UAV landing, and target acquisition and retention.
It's worth noting that the State University of Management is actively developing research in this area. These include a major research project in the agricultural sector, the ABRIS project within the framework of the RosGeoTech Scientific and Educational School, and a youth laboratory for digital and intelligent technologies.
