related natural resource applications. Students will gain proficiency in FAA regulations for commercial sUAS operations, preparing them for the Airman Knowledge Test and acquiring a Remote Pilot certification. A combination of hands-on field work, demonstrations, and exercises will provide students with the opportunity to gain proficiency in the safe operation of advanced aerial imaging systems to survey forested environments. Innovative tools and software will be used for photogrammetric image processing, data production, and analysis of image-based data and map products. Understanding ethical practices and regulatory compliance for image data acquisition will also be covered.
