Advanced Master Unmanned Aircraft Systems Services and Management

UAvs are nowadays essential and unavoidable components of civil aviation activities. The needs of the various actors, operators, major purchasers, manufacturers, and legislators, have evolved considerably. This fast evolution faces numerous challenges: encouraging UAVs development and their new applications while ensuring an optimal level of safety of air transport.

Wishing to take up this challenge, Enac, the first European Aviation School, innovates by creating this new UASSM master to allow its students to acquire all skills to future professionals in this promising business sector. ENAC benefits from its long history in education and research. Particularly ENAC research program "UAVs Systems” addresses UAV’s integration in global Air Traffic, as well as in their applications. Air transport, surveillance, goods transportation, agriculture domain, the defense industry as well as the energy sector are seeking experts in the new technology and its management.

ENAC Advanced Master Unmanned Aircraft Systems Services and Management gives students key tools and techniques to understand the technology while ensuring the transformation of upcoming challenges into opportunities. Graduates of MS UASSM will be able to grasp "UAVs System sector as a whole.

UAV manufacturers: MS UASSM graduates intend to integrate their design teams. They will bring their technical and operational skills to offer solutions that are perfectly suited to the needs of operators and in compliance with all regulatory requirements.

UAV’s Operators: MS UASSM graduates will establish the company's strategy in relation to "UAvs" activity, conduct economic studies, study needs, and develop the best technical and operational solutions, Preparation, execution, and/or counting of missions.

Civilian drones also operate in the air transport regulatory bodies. Civil aviation authorities have an increased need for experts to drive regulatory developments and ensure their proper implementation in order to maintain the optimum level of air transport safety.

For future entrepreneurs , this Advanced Master's will provide graduates with all the necessary technical skills to master the field as well as all fundamental knowledge in terms of business management and market analysis.

These future managers acquire transversal skills throughout the MS UASSM that allow them to listen to the potential needs of the market and to make the right strategic choices to place their business at the best level and to face global competition successfully.
