Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations (UASO)
Course Access: Please note that your access to this course is limited to 3 months, starting from your registration date.
Goal
Unmanned aviation affords States unique opportunities to deliver life-saving materials, monitor wildlife, support disaster management, inspect infrastructure and so much more. You will begin by reviewing some of the different types of UAS operations and gain a thorough understanding of BVLOS (beyond visual line-of-sight). Next, you will explore the tools available in ICAO's U-AID guidance material and learn how they can be applied when navigating an emergency event or when deploying humanitarian aid. You will also discover use cases for UAS in these types of situations as well as the organizations working to compile data about them.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Compare types of UAS operations, specifically VLOS and BVLOS, and the categories defined by levels of risk in ICAO's Model UAS regulations
- Identify the benefits and challenges of BVLOS operations
- Differentiate between types of BVLOS operations and each one's unique advantages
- Consider the approval process and future developments for BVLOS operations
- Navigate ICAO's U-AID - UAS for Humanitarian Aid and Emergency Response Guidance Material
- Explain the various use cases for UAS for humanitarian aid during an emergency event
- Describe the importance of collecting data about UAS operations in the health delivery sector
