Spatiotemporal Ground Risk Mapping for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Operations

What is it about?

The use of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as "drones", is increasing. The majority of UAS operations are in and around urban areas, which tend to have higher population densities. This couple with the lower altitudes UAS will fly at, give limited options when the UAS fails. We evaluate quantitatively the risk posed by UAS to third parties using a population model that varies with time and keeps track of dynamic population distribution changes.
