The Master of Science in Uncrewed Systems enables working professionals to specialize in policy development, system design, and ethical considerations surrounding uncrewed technologies.
Embry‑Riddle’s non-engineering Master of Science program in Uncrewed Systems explores this growing field through coursework in policy formulation, ethical frameworks, and operational management. Participants will develop expertise in key aspects that ensure effective mission execution using uncrewed systems—ranging from remotely piloted to semi-autonomous and fully independent platforms. According to the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International's Economic Report, over 100,000 positions in uncrewed aerial systems are anticipated by 2025. This degree program fosters technological advancement, responsible innovation, and practical application of uncrewed systems, emphasizing critical areas like system compatibility, autonomous operations, airspace coordination, communication networks, energy solutions, and regulatory compliance.
