Master of Science in Unmanned Systems

Master of Science in Unmanned Systems (MSUS)– 36 credit graduate degree program– Core of nine courses and concentration of three elective courses for

flexibility/customization of degree– Cover all domains (air, space, ground, and maritime)

• Focus: Focus on application, development, and management of unmanned systems, policies, regulations, and related technology to meet the dynamic needs and challenges of industry

• Goal: Produce graduates qualified to enter or advance position in workforce (application, development, management, policy-making, and support)

• Target clientele: Post-bachelor student with: – Education in aeronautics, aeronautical science, business administration,

computer science, engineering, human factors, management, physical sciences, public policy, robotics, mathematics, and other related degrees

– Experience as researcher, developer, operator, regulator, applications expert, business developer, manager, or other support role

Overview

• Operational domains– Air (and Space)– Ground– Maritime

• Multiple system configurations – Application centric– Multi-role– Users range from DoD armed services

to individual consumers• Rapid growth of the industry

– $13.6 billion with job creation exceeding 70,000 domestically by 2016

– Continue to $82 billion (>100K jobs) by 2025

– Commercial sector: approaching $1B

Unmanned Systems

• DoD requested funding (2014->2018)– Air (UAS): $3.8B->$4.4B (3.95% per year)– Ground (UGS): $13M->$66M (101.93% per year)– Maritime (UMS): $330.2M->$381.8M (3.9% per year)

• UAS acquisitions and use (by 2035)– To surpass manned operations (25% of DoD fleet->70%)– Government: 36,000+ UAS– Commercial: 175,000+ UAS– Civil (personal): 5,000+ UAS

• Important factors– Use is increasing (500+ COAs approved by FAA)– Reduced Fed operating budgets (lower operating cost)– Increased complexity of operations/missions and

rebalanced forces (increased capability)– Regulatory challenges (FAA)– Continued improvement of technology

Unmanned Systems Growth

Mission: Gaining and applying knowledge necessary for success in industry• Promotes life long learning• Adaptable education framework (multi-modality)• Numerous career options available

Need: Very limited number of Unmanned Systems graduate programs available• Numerous topical areas (perceived by industry as necessary) not fully addressed

by existing degrees• Degree first of its kind (application of Unmanned Systems)• Industry is growing (funding and jobs increasing)

Overview

• Same admission requirements as MSA (formerly MAS) degree: applicants must have prerequisite knowledge of quantitative methods

• List of applicable transfer credits is being continuously evaluated – must be applicable to a specific class, not designation type (e.g., ASCI or UNSY)

"This class taught me a lot in terms of how to evaluate the design and capabilities of "off the shelf" systems. I have a better understanding of what is inside a UAS in terms of controls, systems, and sensors and how those things effect performance. I think that I will apply this knowledge in the evaluation process of choosing a platform for business use in future jobs."

"This course allowed the student to explore the dynamics of UAV flight systems to any level of technical depth as it was quite self guided. The discussion and interaction with other students and the professor's comments also led to areas of further research and study. The best part was the flight simulations based on the custom made UAV built in the ARVL Workshop. This is a must-take course for business planners and mission planners alike."
