Drone pilot training has started at the University of Sopron, with 13 newly acquired unmanned aerial vehicles supporting practical training.
As the press release writes, automated aerial surveillance and mapping systems have been playing an increasingly important role in the university’s training profile over the last decade and will become an inevitable part of the future.
Unmanned aerial systems have been used regularly in forestry, wildlife biology and geoinformatics research at the University of Sopron over the last 15-20 years, but there has been no integrated training in the core curriculum.
In response to these challenges, the Faculty of Forestry launched in February a course called “The Basics of Remote Piloting (Drone Piloting),” consisting of two hours of theory and two hours of practical training per week for one semester.
The course is jointly run by the Institute of Geomatics and Cultural Engineering and the Institute of Wildlife Management and Biology.
For the course, the university has acquired 13 drones, simulators and other support equipment to provide the basis for the practical skills. In the future, the faculty will continue to expand the range of equipment, which should also help to increase the number of students enrolled in the course.
The university intends to continue the basic course by launching further specialized courses in the future, thus providing professionals trained in the use of rapidly developing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for the forestry, conservation, environmental, wildlife, geomatics and cultural engineering industries.
