Border with Russia, Lithuania imparts drone proficiency to youngsters on the 'eastern flank'
Lithuania Launches Drone Schools to Boost Technology Education and Public Engagement
In a move aimed at strengthening Lithuania's preparedness and public engagement along NATO's eastern frontier, the Lithuanian Defence Ministry has launched the first of nine schools to teach children and adults how to fly, assemble, and program drones.
The initiative, which prioritizes technology education over military applications, is part of broader efforts to bolster awareness and skills on the NATO 'Eastern flank'. The schools are not military training programs, but rather are focused on teaching technology skills and fostering situational awareness.
The programme, which emphasizes the educational approach of the drone schools, is intended to familiarize the younger generation with modern technology and surveillance skills. The schools teach the operation of First Person View (FPV), quadcopter, and single-wing drones, and prioritize the use of drones for modern technology and surveillance purposes.
The drone lessons are primarily educational, with an emphasis on teaching technology skills rather than combat readiness. The schools do not involve combat training, and the focus is on promoting situational awareness rather than combat readiness.
The schools are open to children as young as 10, and are part of an initiative to foster public engagement in the region. The schools are not designed for military purposes, but rather are intended to promote a better understanding of drone technology and its potential uses.
The tensions with Russia remain elevated along NATO's eastern frontier, and the drone schools are seen as an important step in bolstering Lithuania's preparedness and public engagement in the region. The schools are expected to play a key role in promoting technology education and public engagement in the region for years to come.
In conclusion, the drone schools in Lithuania represent an innovative approach to technology education and public engagement, and are an important part of Lithuania's broader efforts to strengthen its preparedness and public engagement along NATO's eastern frontier.
