To date, it is at the highest it has been since Dr. Terwilliger started recording numbers (from 2019-2021): $3.2B market value for unmanned systems employment and $728.13M for UAS-related jobs. Despite the economic challenges caused by COVID, it has created new opportunities aligned to the strengths of this field, including the introduction (and popularization) of remote work from home options.

Join the College of Aeronautics and Engineering on Monday, November 8th as we learn more from Dr. Brent Terwilliger, Associate Professor of Aeronautics for the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU)-Worldwide, College of Aeronautics, and examine UAS employment expectations and requirements.
