Training centre for operators of
unmanned vehicles opened in Nigeria
A sseco has opened a certified training centre for operators of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) along with a maintenance
centre in Nigeria. multirotor platforms and airframes, as well as software support for
building a digital terrain model, with the workshops being conducted
by experts from Asseco Poland and Asseco Nigeria.
The company has already conducted first training sessions for the
operators. The project is a result of the co-operation with the Ministry
of Science and Technology from the Lagos State in Nigeria. As part of the planned next stage of the project, Asseco will provide
unmanned vehicles to perform long-distance photogrammetric
missions over the Lagos State. The solution will also consist of two
control stations – Asseco Ground Control Station (Asseco GCS) with
software and the Asseco Universal Simulation Environment (Asseco
USE), which is a flight simulation system. Asseco will also train the
operators and conduct tests of the system operation.
The solutions that Asseco will provide will be the essential component
of the Geographical Information System (eGIS) currently under
implementation in the Lagos State. It will enable, among others, a
more effective planning of this African region’s development and
management of land administration resources, as well as monitoring
of environmental pollution.
During the visit, a meeting was also held with the representatives of
the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency and the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority to discuss the future operation of the unmanned
aerial vehicles in the airspace of Nigeria.
The training centre is the first investment of its kind in the region and
one of the first in Africa. Ultimately, it will train about 100 people
per year. The scope of training will include the operation and use of
