This paper presents a methodology for numerical assessment of the aviation safety performance of a military flight unit and its safety condition, taking into account the human factor impact. The research is based on the assessment of two interrelated groups of indicators concerning the flight safety condition of each flight unit – pre-flight safety performance used during the mission planning and preparedness phase, and in-flight safety performance linked to the execution phase of the mission ordered. The methodology is adaptive and has potential to be improved if necessary.
The steadily increasing use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) is an important factor for the military and civil aviation safety on a global scale. One of the critical conditions for the efficient functioning of the European aviation safety system is the establishment and implementation in practice of a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of unmanned systems in the Common European Airspace. The aviation authorities and industry strive to introduce a set of rules and requirements that adequately and flexibly guarantee a high level of safety without limiting the development of the UAS market. This article proposes a set of standards that should be met by “Open” category UAS with the intention to execute operations in the European airspace.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
