AVT 4215 Autonomous Systems in Aviation
Introduction to Autonomous Systems. Surveys the fundamentals of autonomous aircraft system operations, from sensors, controls, and automation to safety procedures, human factors and Human Autonomy Teaming (HAT). Presents the latest major commercial uses of UAS, and manned aircraft that will be going from 2-pilot operations to 1-pilot operations to unmanned operations. Research and design an Autonomous System, build it, and test it.
