New Course on Drone Architecture at NaUKMA

National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy has introduced an innovative course titled "FPV Drone Architecture" within its informatics faculty.

According to a statement from NaUKMA, students collaborate with peers from the Ukrainian Catholic University to learn how to build FPV drones from the ground up, covering assembly, programming, and testing of the assembled models. Classes are held in a state-of-the-art laboratory equipped with 3D printing and electronics.

"With the support of the Ukrainian FPV drone manufacturer General Chereshnya FPV, students work with real assembly kits for drones. This represents hands-on engineering: precision in detail, creative freedom, and a deep understanding of technological capabilities," the statement noted.

The course is part of the educational program "Automation, Computer-Integrated Technologies, and Robotics".

Additionally, the Ukrainian company "Atlon Avia", which is developing the reconnaissance drone "Furia", recently announced the launch of its own recruitment campaign to prepare operators for its drone.

The initiative aims to enhance the effectiveness of combat missions and increase the number of motivated operators with the military specialty "External Pilot (Operator) of UAVs" (VOS 216).
