Introduction

History is marked by technological events and technical inventions that have changed the course and future of today's society and therefore the need to train professionals capable of making the most of and benefiting from each discovery and development. Therefore, the emergence of this type of technology shapes and paves the way for the training needs of those technicians and professionals who seek to apply this technological paradigm in their workflows.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology is of military origin and has been in development for a century. These systems are present in a wide variety of versions, as they are operated for very varied functions. At the beginning of this millennium, this technology was transferred to the civil sector and since then its evolution has been exponential, with even greater expectations for the future. Advances in the design, construction and propulsion of aircraft, their systems and on-board sensors, make drones applicable in practically all sectors of the industrial fabric and society (land management, agriculture, industrial and energy inspections, photojournalism, logistics, security and emergencies...).

goals

The degree seeks to train the student in the multidisciplinary capabilities and skills necessary to address specialized engineering actions and tasks related to the development of unmanned aircraft, systems and sensors, as well as the use and applications and management of the airspace of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

The objective of the Master's Degree is to provide students with highly specialized training in the field of drones in all present and future components and applications. In this way, students will be trained in the following specialties:

  • Design, construction, maintenance and systems of UAS aircraft.
  • UAS propulsion systems, thrust and power sources.
  • Flight operations, control and guidance, training in national and European directives on the use of UAS, operational safety and certification.
  • Airspace management, U-space with its systems, services and applications.
  • Georeferencing systems, navigation systems, data acquisition, processing and analysis and their integration into geospatial information systems.
  • UAS applications in the field of engineering (Geomatics, Agronomy, Civil, Industrial, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Architecture...).
  • Air Mobility with its systems, services and applications
