dc.description.abstract | Deploying Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in safety- and business-critical operations
requires demonstrating compliance with applicable regulations and a comprehensive understanding
of the residual risk associated with the UAS operation. To support these activities and enable the
safe deployment of UAS into civil airspace, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has
established a UAS regulatory framework that mandates the execution of safety risk assessment for
UAS operations in order to gain authorization to carry out certain types of operations. Driven by
this framework, the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) released the
Specific Operation Risk Assessment (SORA) methodology that guides the systematic risk assessment
for UAS operations. However, existing work on SORA and its applications focuses mainly on single
UAS operations, offering limited support for assuring operations conducted with multiple UAS and
with autonomous features. Therefore, the work presented in this paper analyzes the application of
SORA for a Multi-UAS airframe inspection (AFI) operation, that involves deploying multiple UAS
with autonomous features inside an airport. We present the decision-making process of each SORA
step and its application to a multiple UAS scenario. The results shows that the procedures and safety
features included in the Multi-AFI operation such as workspace segmentation, the independent
multi-UAS AFI crew proposed, and the mitigation actions provide confidence that the operation can
be conducted safely and can receive a positive evaluation from the competent authorities. We also
present our key findings from the application of SORA and discuss how it can be extended to better
support multi-UAS operations. | es |
