Ecko 360, a high-tech company offering aerial photography and video, recently visited campus to provide a flight demonstration of aerial mapping using drone LIDAR systems for our NJROTC cadets and other interested students. Additionally, members of Cleco Power and Entergy, as well as the Public Service Commissioner and former attorney general, attended the operations and spoke about how this technology plays a significant role in accelerating power restoration after major storms and outages. This demonstration goes hand in hand with Brother Martin’s Aerospace Science course, which is the first high school drone certification and training program in Louisiana. Students have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of professional Unmanned Aircraft System operators and prepare for their FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone Operations license.
