What is it about?
Unmanned cargo aircraft may bring new economic advantages, however, they must comply with safety regulations in order to operate routinely. We propose a framework for autonomy onboard an unmanned aircraft that will make safe decisions during final approach and landing. We also demonstrate a simulation-based methodology for evaluating the autonomous decision making in extremely rare environmental situations.

Why is it important?
Our safety assessment methodology can quickly estimate rare accident probabilities while considering many sources of uncertainty, including sensor noise, wind disturbances, and equipment failures. This is necessary for demonstrating that complex autonomous systems onboard an unmanned aircraft will comply with safety regulations required for routine cargo operations.
