UAS SA: 3 Courses, Levels 1-8

All Trillium Learning - A World Bridge™ UAS SA courses are based on real-time, real-world projects, including Tsunami Marine Debris Monitoring, Invasive Species Studies, Disaster Resiience, Nanotechnology in Agriculture, and future Smart City/Sustainable Earth programs.

UAS SA1

The first course - UAS SA1 is comprised of 5 Levels of aircraft, challenges, missions and curriculum content, including Navigation, Image/video data acquisition, Flight safety, Mission planning, Intro to GIS. Levels 1-4 are training levels up to beginning First Person View (FPV) components. Level 5 is entry-level professional with GPS and high-definition cameras and gimbal stabilization systems, software mission programming and includes full FPV.

UAS SA2

The second course includes continuing but advanced study from SA1, and utilizes UAV’s from Levels 5-6 including low- to mid-professional level drones with FPV and 4K resolution imagery/video capability. Workflow includes: 

1. Piloting, Safety, How UAV’s Work, Navigation and Mission Planning 

2. Data Acquisition including High-definition Camera Image/Video Capture, Dual-operator Camera/Gimbal operation with FPV and goggles

3. Data Analysis including Orthomosaic Map Generation and Mapping/Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

4. Data Visualization including multilayer GIS mapping, 3D/4D Data Layers on NASA World Wind platform.

UAS SA3 (under development)

The third course includes advanced applications from SA2 and utilizes Level 7 and 8 UAV’s along with highest-end photogrammetry from DSLR cameras, NDVI and special filter thermal cameras, and next generation, highest-end imagery acquisition with LIDAR (Laser-ranging) equipment. This course is still under development.
