The "Systems of Autonomous Navigation and Adaptive Control of Aircraft" Master's Program represents the level of Autonomous Intelligence & Strategic Control Engineering. The Master's program transforms you from a developer into a Lead GNC Architect—a strategist who creates the "digital mind" for missions of any complexity. Your scope of activity will encompass Swarm Intelligence systems, obstacle avoidance algorithms for ultra-low altitudes, and terminal guidance systems powered by neuromorphic computing.
The goal of study is to form a Senior Research Engineer capable of synthesizing algorithms that operate at the edge of an aircraft's physical capabilities. We will teach you nonlinear and adaptive control theory, Visual SLAM methods, and Reinforcement Learning for flight tasks. This is elite engineering where you control real-time dynamics, creating vehicles capable of self-learning and mission execution in environments with active EW countermeasures.
Your Master's superpower: You will develop Predictive Control Mastery and Strategic Navigational Resilience—the ability to build systems that instantly adapt to changes in mass, vehicle configuration, or in-flight damage. Your professional Master's arsenal will include:
- Robust Control & H-infinity: designing control systems resilient to extreme external disturbances.
- Integrated Navigation Systems (INS/GNSS/Vision): developing multi-sensor systems that maintain spatial orientation under any conditions.
- Machine Learning for Flight Dynamics: implementing neural networks for trajectory prediction and target identification.
- Systems Engineering for Complex Missions: managing the development lifecycle of autonomous systems from initial requirements to flight testing.
Our Master's graduates are Lead Control Systems Architects at Brave1, CTOs of unmanned aviation startups, scientific project leads in SpaceTech, and key developers of intelligent systems for top defense companies worldwide.
Objects of professional activity for Master's graduates include complex dynamic systems, scientific methods for control algorithm substantiation, onboard computing architecture, and scientific and technical expertise of autonomous vehicles.
