Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) recently collaborated with LiveU to provide overwatch during a recent emergency training exercise at the Nashville International Airport (BNA).
MTSU students leveraged unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and LiveU IP video to deliver high-quality live feeds of the events back to BNA’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for review, analysis, and quick decision making.
LiveU easily integrated with the UAS, providing a 1, 2, 3 setup process to get them connected, in the air, and streaming to desired individuals and/or control and command centers, all in less than 5 minutes.
Mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the emergency drill brought together state-level emergency management teams, airport personnel members of the TSA, state and local police, fire departments, medical teams, and other local agencies to coordinate efforts.
The mock emergency scenario entailed actual fire, smoke, and explosions to ensure airfield disaster preparedness and response of the airport.
MTSU UAS Program
MTSU offers a UAS Operations concentration, within the B.S. in Aerospace degree. The program, first-of-its-kind in the state of Tennessee and one of few in the United States, is combining classroom learning with outside fieldwork to prepare students for their careers.
This includes agriculture, public safety, photography, media, disaster response/management, power and electric, defense department positions, and more.
Technology partners like LiveU give students a chance to get their hands on IP video solutions that integrate with UAS, emergency operations apps, and other technologies for mission-critical visual intelligence.
In mission-critical situations, time is of the essence. MTSU students are learning how to work in fast-paced, evolving situations and utilize UAS to assist in these efforts.
The MTSU Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations Program is said to be highly respected across the campus and the state. Students assist with site inspections, mapping, agriculture, and a myriad of other uses cases.
While the program is fairly new, Professor Corns of MTSU sees the major continue to grow, and the program’s use of LiveU to expand in support of more emergency training exercises and events.
