SUMMARY:Uncrewed Aircraft Systems in Disaster Management (AWR-345) -NDPTC
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n 	\n\nDescription:\n\nUncrewed Ai
 rcraft Systems (UAS) are an emerging technology that is revolutionizing di
 saster management. This course is an introduction to UAS use in disaster m
 anagement\, from mitigation and preparedness to response and recovery. It 
 is intended to help participants gain a basic understanding of UAS\; learn
  the general concepts to help an agency build a successful UAS program\; l
 earn the importance of engaging the local community\; understand the need 
 to ensure that privacy issues\, civil rights\, and civil liberties are tho
 roughly addressed\; identify when UAS would enhance a disaster mission\; a
 nd understand the basics of UAS types and sensors. The overall course goal
  is to provide a basic overview of UAS so that agencies can learn the firs
 t steps in determining if UAS are right for their work. \n\nParticipants 
 will learn what is covered under UAS regulations\, who may operate UAS\, w
 hat FAA authorization allows\, and what the major issues are for UAS integ
 ration. The course materials will familiarize participants with the main t
 ypes and capabilities of rotary and fixed-wing UAS\, as well as the types 
 of payloads and missions that generally are best for each\, with examples 
 of how certain payloads have been or could be used in relevant situations 
 to aid in disaster management. \n\nThe course provides an overview of sev
 eral important elements that require full consideration when creating and 
 operating a UAS program\, including involving the local community in all s
 tages of UAS program development\, and the critical need to protect privac
 y\, civil rights\, and civil liberties in a UAS program\, including with d
 ata collection\, retention\, management\, security\, oversight\, and accou
 ntability. \n\nCourse Modules:\n\n 	Types of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems\n
