Autonomous System Technician (AST) Initiative

The primary goal of NCAT’s core AST project is to investigate standard curriculum across the air, land, and sea domains, in partnership with industry and existing educational programs. Industry and AST instructors are encouraged to provide input to ensure well-rounded and competent technicians are produced from this model. Read NCAT’s DACUM/KSA Report to learn more.
