Ucom Supports Free FPV Drone Training for Teenagers by the ArmDrone Community

YEREVAN, April 16. /ARKA/. As part of a free First-Person View (FPV) drone training program for teenagers organized by the ArmDrone community with the support of Ucom, an open class was held. The session was attended by the General Director of Ucom, Ralph Yirikian.

During the session, participants worked with software, soldered drone components, performed indoor flights using Mini Whoop drones, observed demonstrations of large drone flights, and took part in a small virtual competition.

“Such educational initiatives play an important role in the development of the tech community and the formation of a new generation. At Ucom, we believe that fostering technological thinking among young people and equipping them with practical skills is a long-term investment in the country’s future,” said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.

In conversation with the General Director, participants shared their experiences and discussed the challenges they faced, their interests, and their future goals.

“We attach great importance to such initiatives, as they contribute to community development and increase young people’s interest in technology-related fields. Teenagers participate in the courses with great enthusiasm. We highly appreciate the opportunity provided by Ucom,” said Hayk Karapetyan, founder of the ArmDrone community.

For the second consecutive year, dozens of teenagers have had the opportunity to gain knowledge in the field of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) field through these courses supported by Ucom, while developing their technical thinking and practical skills. Participants are introduced to modern UAV technologies, the fundamentals of engineering thinking, and the specifics of FPV drones. They acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge of UAV mechanical structure, software and flight parameter configuration, safety regulations, and explore competition strategies while developing relevant skills.

*FPV drone (First-Person View) — a type of unmanned aerial vehicle that allows the operator to control the drone from a first-person perspective. Through a video transmitter mounted on the device, the camera feed is transmitted to the operator’s video receiver (FPV goggles), enabling control over long distances. This technology is widely used in filmmaking, education, and international drone racing competitions.
