Hi All,

I am interested, but assuming this program will not be academic and worth credits......correct?

Hello,

A few folks from CALS, CyVerse, College of Engineering, and USDA-ARS met last week to discuss the potential of a UAS program based in Yuma, AZ. The program is proposed by Paul Brierley, Director of the Yuma Center for Excellence in Desert Agriculture (YCEDA<https://yceda.cals.arizona.edu/>), a center housed within CALS. Paul has drafted a bulleted list of the program's main functions, but would really like your feedback.

Check out "UAS Drone Program Proposal.pdf" within this Box folder:
https://arizona.box.com/s/dc3s4k2v61z8cwi10t0zgy457xs61uaz

Please send any feedback directly to him at paulbrierley at email.arizona.edu<mailto:paulbrierley at email.arizona.edu> and/or back to this list.

I've also uploaded a few other PDFs... one of which is a Data Sheet for the HQ-40B UAS airframe. The YQ-H40B is manufactured by a small engineering firm near campus, Latitude Engineering<https://latitudeengineering.com/>. Their airframe boasts five hours of flight time.

One other note: Our group is looking at creating a half-day mini-conference near the end of the semester which would give researchers the opportunity to present usage of unmanned aerial systems in their research areas. Please email if you're interested in participating.

Thanks,
Matt
