An experimental new way of training Flight Test Engineers (FTE) and operational drone pilots and sensor operators, being developed at the International Test Pilots School in London ON. This Modified Rutan61 (LongEZ) aircraft has a pilot on-board while being controlled from the ground. This allows drone flights to be operated in the national airspace along with General Aviation rules and ITPS is pioneering these innovative operations, getting prepared for the new wave of international drone testing that is needed. David is shown above during the first ground test with Gustavo Ulloa, ex-Colombian Air Force fighter pilot and Hermes 450-900 ISR drone pilot. Gustavo is helping develop the concept of ops (CONOPS) for the new International Tactical Training School (ITTS) wing of ITPS and controlled the MRPA "fly-by-wire" from a laptop in the back seat during the first Flight Testing phase this Aug 2020. Testing of the Ground Control Station (GCS) Software system is progressing well and should be fully operational this year. Gustavo will also be instructing on both Flight Test and Tactical courses when they start up again this fall. Recent UAV TEST Eng/Pilot CourseITPS Ground Control Station (GCS) is a trailer mounted, aircraft and sensor control capability that is used in training Pilots and Flight Test Engineers in testing new UAV technology. Eventually this capability will be extended to support the school's Tactical Fighter Pilot syllabus with real time UAV Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability as well as Forward Air Controller (FAC) training support to tactical training.
