MSc Advanced Air Mobility Systems

... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

The Advanced Air Mobility Systems MSc is designed to equip you with the skills required to pursue a successful career in transforming the aviation industry, applying the knowledge learned to introduce new automated and autonomous solutions to improve the industry.

Taught through a unique combination of theoretical and practical-based sessions, you will cover subjects in ATM, Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM), enabling sensor infrastructure (communications, navigation, surveillance), sensor fusion, and artificial intelligence for autonomous systems. The MSc course content has been based on advice from the Industrial Advisory Board, comprising industrial representatives from big primes to small- and medium-sized enterprises. The Industrial Advisory Board also recommends thesis and project topics ensuring real-world relevance, another effective differentiator in the job market. This allows students to familiarise themselves with companies from the Industrial Advisory Board and be exposed to their research interests, paving the way for potential job opportunities.

This course is unique in that it offers a combination of subjects much sought after in the aviation, air traffic, and drone industries that are not covered in a single MSc course anywhere else, giving particular emphasis to the digitalized integrated architecture, the enabling sensor infrastructure (incl. communication, navigation, and surveillance) and intelligent algorithms, such as flight management and planning, and deconfliction. Successful graduates of our MSc course become conversant in critical aspects of automation and autonomy in emerging crewed/uncrewed traffic management, which places them at an advantage in today's competitive employment market.

A vital feature of the MSc includes a CAA-approved UAV remote pilot competence course. The course incorporates a ground school element for flight planning – covering principles of flight, rules, and regulations of the air, using aviation charts, risk assessment, and meteorology – and flight training to provide basic pilot competence, including how to respond in an emergency and being able to operate safety features. Successful course completion allows students to fly small UAVs in the Open Category.
