MAAM (Mission-based Availability Assessment for Multirotor UAVs) is a third party funded project with the aim to increase the safety of autonomous multirotor UAVs through modern PHM algorithms and intelligent monitoring systems. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is known as the drone, The unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is the aircraft without the human pilot aboard, The flight of UAVs can operate either under the remote control by the human operator or fully or intermittently autonomously by onboard computers.

The applicability of this method is demonstrated on an unmanned aerial vehicle’s control surface actuation system. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by. With the SiFliegeR project the FSR investigates how PHM can be leveraged to generate a dynamic and system specific safety analysis, based on the current system health status. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), also known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. The IMPETUS (Information Management Portal to Enable the inTegration of Unmanned Systems) focuses on the analysis of future information management requirements for the safe and efficient integration of unmanned systems into the lower airspace (below 150 meters). The UK and France agreed in July 2012 to pursue a joint unmanned Future Combat Air System and to also cooperate on Watchkeeper. The Army is procuring a new capability, Watchkeeper, which will replace the Hermes 450, currently in use. In ACoRUs (Active Fault-Tolerant Control for Redundant Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) novel schemes of Fault-tolerant Control (FTC) are developed to increase the operational safety of redundant Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Ehang AAV is the worlds first electric passenger-grade autonomous aerial vehicle, providing safe, eco-friendly, and smart Urban Air Mobility (UAM) solution. The UK Armed Forces deploy five types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Afghanistan, of which only one may be armed. The DACUS project (Demand And Capacity Optimisation in U-Space) aims at the development of a service-oriented Demand and Capacity Balancing (DCB) process for drone traffic management in urban environments. UAS provide long-term persistent airborne surveillance, ideally suited to both military and civil applications. In the research project “SAMMIE”, a human-machine interface for traffic situation display and collision avoidance for a drone pilot is being researched.
