Introduction

Who is the author? and What is this blog about?

I was born in Bogota, Colombia, and grew up enjoying activities like music, sports (namely soccer), and independence day parades which included aerial demonstrations by fighter jet aircraft. As a result, a passion for flying and a thirst for learning the science of aviation was developed and has brought forth a number of accomplishments and experiences.

I moved to the United States at age 11 living in South Florida. Graduated High School from an aviation magnet program and completed an International Business and Trade Bachelors Degree at Florida Atlantic University with minors in Aviation Management and Aeronautical Science. Throughout undergraduate college, I also attained a Single-Engine-Land rated Private Pilot's License.

After attaining my undergraduate degree, I chose to join the Air Force to serve and give back to this country, which has given me the opportunities I've had. I was able to get involved with the technological advancements being applied in unmanned aerial surveillance and warfare, in addition to enrolling in Embry Riddle Aeronautical University's Masters of Science in Unmanned Systems.

This blog is intended to portray current and relevant matters, studies, and advancements in the ever growing world of aerial unmanned systems. It is also intended to spark thoughts and inspire conversations or comments that update and further the knowledge and information of the technological advancement in the area of unmanned systems and their applications in the aviation environment.
