There is a need for learning the safe and legal uses of drones as well as a need for training on how to use drones for a variety of business scenarios. In addition, drones will be used to create training videos and photos for many industry and service business use cases.

sUAS is an abbreviation for Small Unmanned Aircraft System.  There are over 1200 individuals and companies in the U.S. that have received approval for commercial use of sUASs and more are applying for an exemption to fly them every day (including the presenter’s company).

As with many new technologies, the infrastructure, regulations, and training support trails the innovation and explosive growth in the marketplace.

This presentation will:

* Introduce what a sUAS is and its current and potential uses

* Explain what is required to use a sUAS commercially

*  Discuss training and certification of sUAS pilots and other possible training scenarios.

* Demonstrate a state-of-the-art sUAS with the aircraft's built-in simulation capability.
