Unmanned Aircraft <strong>Systems</strong> and Applications<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong>, Spectrum, and Regulatory Issues Associated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles<br />
Summary<br />
This one-day course is designed for engineers,<br />
aviation experts and project managers who wish to<br />
enhance their understanding of UAS. The course<br />
provides the "big picture" for those who work outside of<br />
the discipline. Each topic addresses real systems<br />
(Predator, Shadow, Warrior and others) and real-world<br />
problems and issues concerning the use and<br />
expansion of their applications.<br />
Instructor<br />
Mark N. Lewellen has nearly 25 years of experience<br />
with a wide variety of space, satellite and aviation<br />
related projects, including the<br />
Predator/Shadow/Warrior/Global Hawk<br />
UAVs, Orbcomm, Iridium, Sky Station,<br />
and aeronautical mobile telemetry<br />
systems. More recently he has been<br />
working in the exciting field of UAS. He is<br />
currently the Vice Chairman of a UAS<br />
Sub-group under Working Party 5B<br />
which is leading the US preparations to find new radio<br />
spectrum for UAS operations for the next World<br />
Radiocommunication Conference in 2011 under<br />
Agenda Item 1.3. He is also a technical advisor to the<br />
US State Department and a member of the National<br />
Committee which reviews and comments on all US<br />
submissions to international telecommunication<br />
groups, including the International Telecommunication<br />
Union (ITU).<br />
