Autonomy Bytes Sinclair College National UAS Training and Certification Center

Ground-based infrastructure to enable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations is a critical but often overlooked component for aerial cargo delivery applications including eCommerce or healthcare missions or other tasks in challenging environments. These tools often have advanced levels of automation or autonomy to interface with UAS, airborne cargo delivery solutions, and operators or users on the ground.

In 2020, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) created a durability and reliability-based process for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) manufacturers to obtain type certifications for their aircraft. There are several key benefits to completing the process, including pathways for expanded safe commercial operations over people and Beyond Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flights.

It’s the first anniversary of Autonomy Bytes! This episode looks back at the engaging guests and interesting topics from the first 12 episodes, while previewing the future of the show and coming advances in the autonomy industry.
