Testimonials
A brand new industry has been percolating over the last decade or so and is expected to tickle the $100,000,000,000
(that's a $100B) mark in the next 10 years. That industry is the world-wide business of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
design, manufacturing and operation. It is an industry that spans vehicles the size of a hummingbird to that of an
airliner and it is an industry that has positions and openings for a broad spectrum of disciplines and experience levels.
Dr. LeMieux's UAV Fundamentals Course is a fascinating and detailed exploration of the many components and
applications of these complex vehicles and their ever expanding roles in the commercial sector and society. His
experiences as an engineer and former fighter pilot allow him to make many entertaining comparisons and examples of
the UAV environment and how it is increasingly being accommodated into the world of aviation, research, farming and
law enforcement - just to name a few. If you are just starting out on a career, looking for a new one or simply interested
in learning more about this dynamic field - this is one stop shopping to get you off to a great start.
Brian Binnie, Commercial Astronaut, SpaceShipOne Test Piot
The UAV Fundamentals Course is essential for anyone wanting to learn about the basics of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs). Dr. LeMieux provides outstanding information about all facets of UAV operation. There are lessons on UAV
communications, ground stations, datalinks, platforms, design, operations, roles, etc. Dr. LeMieux does a great job of
teaching in a fashion that non-technical people can understand but also provides great instruction to those somewhat
familiar with UAVs and aircraft/airspace operations. In addition, Dr. L does a great job of keeping up with current events
in the UAV community with regard to innovation and new technologies and infuses that knowledge into each course as
he teaches the basics. I highly recommend this course and any other course offered by the UVU as the instructors are
among the most experienced and educated professionals in the UAV community.

Testimonials
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems are full of subtlety, sophistication and complexity. Yet, drawing
upon his vast experience as an engineer, fighter pilot and airline pilot, Dr LeMieux, President of
Unmanned Vehicle University, explains in this course the elementary components and operation of
unmanned aircraft systems in non-mathematical terms. I strongly recommend this course to the
aviation enthusiast who just wants to learn the basics of UAVs, as much as to the student of
aeronautical engineering that seeks to make a swift transition from conventional aircraft to unmanned
aircraft systems. I took this course recently and I was amazed at how much I learned about UAV
components, communications & data links, sensors, ground control systems, civil airspace integration,
sense and avoid systems, alternative propulsion, UAV swarming, and many other topics. Dr LeMieux is,
without doubt, the most intellectually stimulating lecturer I ever had.
Dr Pascual Marques, CEO, Marques Aviation
This UAV Fundamentals course provides an eye-opening experience to anyone who wants to expand his
knowledge in the wide field of UAV applications in the present and future environment. For those
inexperienced in the UAV technology, it will provide a fast-track to the status and potentials of this
interesting and exiting field, whereas for those already experienced with the UAV technology, they will
certainly discover new applications and new methodologies applied in operations worldwide. I would
certainly suggest this course as a learning tool for the staff and personnel of every institute, organization
and company that is directly or indirectly involved in the UAV industry.
Dr Dimitrios Gkritzapis, Chief of Police, Athens Greece
