Industry Caucus Discussion, Fall 2014
Pilot and technician shortage is still key concern Begin training UAS students to process and analyze imagery.
Increase emphasis on micro robotics. Increase farming/agricultural/survey applications of UAS and CSO
as both industries are moving in that direction for commercialization. Concern over regulatory environment and timeline for ATP, Air Traffic
Controllers, and certification. Recommend shadow program for Embry-Riddle faculty to get current
industry exposure similar to a continuing education program.
