MEMBER for Mount Gambier Troy Bell has renewed calls for an overhaul of TAFE SA to decentralise the vocational education and training provider and establish regional boards of management. Following almost three years of advocacy, Mr Bell has continued his push to abolish the centrally-operated TAFE SA board and install regional boards across the state to ensure the organisation provides education and training services that meets the needs of country communities.
The independent MP was recently joined by Shadow Education Minister Blair Boyer in a roundtable discussion with Di-Monty Training Solutions managing director Di Ind, Group Training Employment general manager Greg Megaw and other stakeholders to discuss the vocational training needs of regional industry.
Canadian UAVs secures funding for development of Tasker January 27, 2021
Canadian UAVs has secured funding through TECTERRA’s BUILD Program for research, development, and commercialization of “Tasker”, a UAV tasking software product which builds on the success of SkySensus – a project to develop unmanned systems operations, airworthiness standards and training.
Tasker is intended to build a UAV tasking platform, according to Canadian UAVs, streamlining the management and execution of BVLOS operations for oil-and-gas clients engaged in geospatial data acquisition.
SkySensus is a R&D project funded and led by Peraton Canada for the commercialization of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) technology in unmanned systems. It is a collaboration between Canadian UAVs, Foremost UAS Range and Aerium Analytics. The project addresses many of the significant technical challenges that will advance safe BVLOS in Canada.
