Maritime Uncrewed Systems

The Maritime Uncrewed Systems training introduces participants to several types of Uncrewed Maritime Systems (UMS), their capabilities, and their applications.
  • Program Learning Objectives

    1. LO1: Understand UMS fundamentals, key challenges, and use applications
    2. LO2: Distinguish key elements for successful UMS mission planning to include key considerations, limitations, and environmental challenges; compose mission plan based on pre-defined parameters.
    3. LO3: Discus, analyze, and understand key features of UMS preparations and operations; participate in group decision-making to simulate UMS troubleshooting scenarios. 
  • Desired Outcome for Learners

    • Analyze a variety of UMSs against appropriate mission objective.
    • Compose mission plan based on pre-defined mission parameters
    • Identify key features required for successful UMS preparation and mission execution
    • Participate in group decision-making to troubleshoot pre-determined UMS prep/ops scenario

What's included?
