Introduction

In recent years, drones have undergone tremendous development. Due to the low price and ease of use, drones have been widely utilized in many application scenarios, which potentially pose great threats to national security and personal privacy. To mitigate these threats, it is necessary to deploy anti-drone systems in sensitive areas to detect, localize, and defend against intruding drones.
The use of drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), both for military and civilian purposes, has increased in India in the past decade. At the same time, counter-drone systems are also being developed to address the threats posed by UAV/drone. So, training of students on this new technology is very relevant observing the fast growth of this sector.

Objectives:

• To educate and train persons in Anti-Drone & Autonomous Technology to a skilled level of expertise in the domain area of the growing drone Sector.
• To train the candidates on professional skills and professional knowledge related to Anti-Drone & Autonomous Technology. In addition to this a candidate is entrusted to undertake project work and Extra-Curricular Activities to build up confidence.

Careers & Employability

• In manufacturing industry primarily in defense suppliers and to some extent in public sector.
• In defense sector, Railways, Hospitals, Military Engineering Services, Boards and Corporations, Construction Companies, Logistics, Telecommunication and Rural Development Agencies.
• As an entrepreneur like establishment of drone manufacturing company as startups.
• Though the Post Graduate Diploma holders in drone technology find placement in all functional areas like R&D, planning, shop floor production, quality control, inventory management but majority of them find employment in drone supplier companies and anybody, governed by directorate general of civil aviation.

Outcomes of the course

• Understand the historical development of unmanned aerial vehicles.
• Understand the guidelines of drone flying in India.
• Understand the structure of unmanned aerial vehicles.
• Understand different drone parts and their contribution for successful flight operation.
• Understand different types of drone circuits /electronic parts.
• learn various electrical parts of drones.
• Learn the criterion for the selection of various drone materials.
• Understand the concept of surveying.
• Learn the concepts of geographical information systems.

The students will be involved in the whole process of Drone & Autonomous Technology practices from the initial concept through to delivery and the outcome of the program will be to make them employable in growing drone sector.
