The project **SwaYaan-Capacity Building Human Resource Development(UASAT)**, MeitY in Unmanned Aircraft System 'Drone and related Technology’ for 5 Year duration from 2022-2027. The project aims at creating a full-fledged National ecosystem in UAS and Drone related technologies with the following objectives:

- To enhance capacity & capabilities of selective institutions in identified WTs (Work Themes) on Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
- To institutionalize a collaborative ecosystem through identified Resource Centres (RCs) and Participating Institutions (PIs) for synergy of capabilities & expertise.
- To foster development of competent human resources at various levels including Post Graduate & Graduate programs, PG Diploma/Certificate programs, Faculty Development and Master Trainers in niche areas of UAS.
- To promote entrepreneurial mindset and nurture technical talent among the student community through innovative interventions such as Bootcamps and Proof-of Concepts.
- To nurture technical talent and ideation among the student community through IPR generation, Competitions, Workshops / Conferences, etc.

In this regard, five Work-Themes are identified to create a full-fledged ecosystem in UAS/Drone and related technologies. The Work Theme (WT) includes:
- Drone Electronics (involving Sensors, Onboard Computers, Communication Technology etc.)
- GNC Algorithms & Simulation
- Aeromechanics
- Drone Applications (including domain-specific applications & security)
- Allied UAS Technologies (Data Analysis, AI/ML, loT, Cloud Computing etc.)

### Project UASAT aims to achieve the following deliverables and targets:

It aims to meet various deliverables and targets through implementation of various components under three major Activity Verticals including:
- Capacity and Capability building,
- Ideation and Innovation
- Human Resource Development with an aim to create around 40,000 + Professionals trained in Drones and related areas through 1500+ activities over the period of 5 Years.

To accomplish the objectives under the defined work-themes, a National Ecosystem is being created by 30 Institutions distributed across various states of India in a hub and spoke model with five IISc/IITs/IIITs as Resource Centres (RC), fifteen IITs, NITs and IIITDMs as Participating Institutes (PI-Academic) and ten C-DAC/NIELIT Centres as Participating Institutes (PI-C-DAC/ NIELIT Centres) to conduct various activities under different verticals with IIITDM, Kurnool and C-DAC, Hyderabad as a part of Project Management Unit (PMU)
