Surveillance & Monitoring

Course Overview

Surveillance and monitoring applications use drones and sensing workflows to support observation, security awareness, and operational oversight. The course covers how aerial observation is planned, what sensing methods are commonly involved, and how monitoring tasks are carried out in a structured way. Learners focus on operational practice, situational awareness, and responsible use of observation technology. The course does not provide security licensing, law-enforcement authority, or legal advice on surveillance.

This course introduces surveillance and monitoring applications of drone technology, including observation workflows, sensing considerations, and professional operating practice.
