Minor in Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems

Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems (UAS) represent a significantly growing segment of the aviation/aerospace industry that provides an important capabilities modifier for military, civil, and commercial users. Understanding the historical background, development, integration, and application of this technology, coupled with a detailed comprehension of the regulatory framework, support requirements, advantages and limitations, industry needs, elemental composition, and planning provisions, provides students with the knowledge necessary to succeed in this field. Through this minor course of study, you will gain exposure and experience connected to the fundamental concepts, principles, and methods associated with the use, development, configuration, and support of UAS and the associated technology.

Some majors may not be eligible to pair with this minor. See the Minor Restrictions list for details.
