Uncrewed aerial system (UAS) platforms are critical to battlefield success for the U.S. military and its allies – as demonstrated in the war in Ukraine -- as they can accomplish tasks that crewed platforms cannot. In the civilian world, autonomous flight vehicles – in the same way as crewed platforms – are a fact of everyday life. Safety certification of UAS avionics hardware, avionics software, collision-avoidance systems, navigation systems, and the like carry with them unique design challenges, however, as each system must meet complex certification standards such as DO-178C and DO-254. This session will cover how to navigate these safety-certification challenges in UAS platforms.
This session is part of our Uncrewed Systems Virtual Conference. Registration/event page here.
