Tony Lopez also talked about the UAS Bootcamp at GCSC. The Bootcamp has two stages. The first stage certifies students to fly an aircraft 20 pounds or under, and join low-risk operations. The second stage allows students to go beyond the line of sight which allows students to become well-rounded in their UVS career.  For more information about Bootcamp, check out the link here, www.gulfcoast.edu/uvs_bootcamp.

Fred Stevenson, the Electrical/Mechanical BLOS Radar Operator at Gulf Coast Tempest, joined The Mix to talk about the program and what Gulf Coast Tempest means, and its mission. Fred is also one of the graduates of the UVS program and works alongside Tony!
