Uncrewed Systems
Demand for uncrewed systems continues to boom across both defense and commercial sectors, driving the need for professionals who can build, operate, and maneuver the complex policy surrounding these new applications.
With the advancement of technology, and in an effort to reduce military casualties, the armed forces have been increasing development and usage of uncrewed systems for combat, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Corporations worldwide are discovering how uncrewed systems can accomplish some tasks that humans can do and some they cannot. From transportation to agriculture, retail, disaster relief, recreation, photography, videography, and even use in food delivery – unmanned systems are cutting costs and improving lives.
Capitol Technology University has assembled a network of our nation’s top experts to educate you – the new generation of uncrewed systems planners, architects, designers, engineers, and operators as the sectors continue to embrace the uncrewed aerial, ground and marine system industry.
Uncrewed Systems Overview
Career Outlook
By 2025, more than 100,000 new jobs are expected to be created in the unmanned aircraft industry. Half of these jobs will be created in the defense sector and the other half in the commercial sector. Annual salaries will range from $60,000 to $145,000. The transportation sector is projected to be the second largest sector in the drone industry by 2024, only second to the energy sector.
Drone journalism workshops, drone boot camps, and drone programs across the country are all oversubscribed because of the high-wage opportunities this industry promises.
