High-accurate machine learning (ML) image classifiers cannot guarantee that they will not fail at operation. Thus, their deployment in safety-critical applications such as autonomous vehicles is still an open issue. The use of fault…
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is the next generation of air transportation that includes new entrants such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, increasingly autonomous flight operations, and small UAS package delivery.…
Runtime verification is a lightweight verification technique that complements model checking by analyzing system executions at runtime rather than exploring a complete system model in advance. It is particularly useful for partially…
While the most visible part of the safety verification process of automated vehicles concerns the planning and control system, it is often overlooked that safety of the latter crucially depends on the fault-tolerance of the preceding…
The successful application of machine learning (ML) methods becomes increasingly dependent on their interpretability or explainability. Designing explainable ML systems is instrumental to ensuring transparency of automated decision-making…
As the effective range of air-to-air missiles increases, it becomes harder for human operators to maintain the situational awareness needed to keep a UAV safe. In this work, we propose a decision support tool to help UAV operators in Beyond…
Machine learning (ML) components are increasingly integrated into software products, yet their complexity and inherent uncertainty often lead to unintended and hazardous consequences, both for individuals and society at large. Despite these…
We discuss surveillance with multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that minimize idleness (the time between consecutive visits of sensing locations) and constrain latency (the time between capturing data at a sensing location and its…
In this paper, we present a real-time system identification method based on relay feedback testing with applications to multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles. The proposed identification method provides an alternative to the expensive lab…
The paper presents a two-stage stochastic program to model a routing problem involving an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the context of patrolling missions. In particular, given a set of targets and a set of supplemental targets…

Unmanned aircraft systems can perform some more dangerous and difficult missions than manned aircraft systems. In some highly complicated and changeable tasks, such as air combat, the maneuvering decision mechanism is required to sense the…
Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) are emerging approaches to product life cycle that will maintain system safety and improve reliability, while reducing operating and maintenance costs. This is particularly relevant for aerospace…
To cover a set of targets with known locations within an area with limited or prohibited ground access using a wireless sensor network, one approach is to deploy the sensors remotely, from an aircraft. In this approach, the lack of precise…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a promising essence in future 5G-beyond and 6G systems. Its main advantage lies in its robust model-free decision-making in complex and large-dimension wireless environments. However, most existing RL…
This paper presents an efficient risk management model for unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs. Our proposed risk management establishes a cyclic model with a continuous and iterative structure that is very adaptable to agile methods and all…
Autonomous landing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in crowded scenarios is crucial for successful deployment of UAVs in populated areas, particularly in emergency landing situations where the highest priority is to avoid hurting people.…
