The workshop will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 13 to Sept. 15, at the NMSU's Physical Science Laboratory, at Anderson Hall, 1050 Stewart St. The workshop will cost $300 per person, with a working lunch included.
Registration is available online at http://psl.nmsu.edu.
The workshop will focus on providing a better understanding of technology, determine the right sensor and UAS for a particular application, preparing for changes in the fast-moving industry, becoming aware of the administrative and Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and learn how to develop a plan and achieve each organization’s goals, according to an NMSU news release. NMSU’s unmanned aircraft systems experts will guide participants through the requirements process addressing the many nuances to optimize budgets and perform the mission.
“(Unmanned aircraft systems) is a new tool and it is easy to go the wrong direction when you purchase one because of lack of education," said Dennis Zaklan, deputy director of NMSU's UAS Flight Test Center. "The problem is, the cost for the wrong decision can be substantial and can set your timeline back months or even years.”
