Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, introduced their mobile ground control station Tuesday at the Unmanned Aerial Systems conference at the Dayton Convention Center. The station will be enlisted to help with the training in UAS control and operations, through combining live UAS with virtual simulations.




The training station was created through a collaboration between the school’s National UAS Training and Certification Center, and two other companies. A representative from one of those companies, Simlat Ltd. of Israel, spoke on the potential impact of the station in an article from the Daily Dayton News.




“This leap makes a big difference because then nobody is taking risks and the cost would usually drop,” said Chief Technology Officer Roy Peshin.




Formerly an ambulance, the station is valued at $300,000. The hope is that the station can create an easier and more cost efficient training process of UAS operations. Students at the college, as well as corporate clients, will be the beneficiaries of the training provided via the station.
