NWIT 111 - Unmanned Systems and Robotics Communication

An overview of unmanned systems and robotics’ missions, capabilities, types, subsystems, and technologies needed for their development, operations, and communication. The focus will be primarily on unmanned aerial systems, but topics will cover unmanned surface and ground vehicles as well. This course is a multi-disciplinary approach to presenting unmanned systems and robotics communication, with theoretical and practical applications. Assessment Level(s): MATH 050

3 semester hours

May not be taken concurrently withMATH 017 or MATH 020 or MATH 045 without appropriate Math assessment score.

Course Outcomes:
Upon course completion, a student will be able to:

Describe the common types and missions of unmanned systems and robotics.
Identify common subsystems and technologies deployed in unmanned systems and robotics.
Describe communication technologies and methods needed to perform guidance, navigation, and control functions of various systems.
Apply and practice basic principles of unmanned systems and robotic design.
Discuss ethical issues involved in the use of unmanned systems and robotics.
