The Master's Degree will cover marine, land based and pilotless aircraft, typically used in environments that are deemed unsafe or uneconomic, such as exploration under sea ice, or monitoring gas emissions from volcanic eruptions. And NASA expects UAVs to become 'standard tools' in fields such as agriculture, earth observation and climate monitoring.
The University of Southampton has been at the forefront of UAV development since the early 1990s, when work began on the Autosub programme at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. A battery powered submarine travelled under sea ice in more than 300 voyages to map the North Sea, and assess herring stocks.
Master’s Degree in UAV design announced by Southampton University
A groundbreaking course which enables students to take a Master's Degree in unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) Design has been unveiled by the University of Southampton.
This is the first scheme of its kind and from September 2011, postgraduates can take part in a one year programme covering the design, manufacture and operation of robotic vehicles.
