Research on autonomous capability assessment technology for large civilian UAVs

Abstract

Based on its advantages of wide application fields, low manufacturing cost and long working hours, the mission demand of large civilian UAVs in the market is expanding, and their usage patterns and safety features have become the future development direction, which has put forward higher requirements on the autonomous capability of UAVs. Carrying out the autonomous capability assessment of large civil UAVs is of great significance to their market positioning and application scenarios. In this paper, an autonomous capability assessment method is proposed for large civil UAVs. The method classifies the autonomous capability level of large civil UAVs, then sorts out the autonomous capability evaluation elements, and finally determines the autonomous capability flight test verification content and formulates corresponding assessment guidelines, which can provide guidance for the autonomous capability assessment of large civil UAVs and that can also provide guidance for other types of UAVs.
