The ITEA project HI-RISE aims to allow expanding applications of UAS by increasing the level of safety, especially over cities where we can expect aerial delivery, emergency response, etc., and mixed UAS-manned aircraft airspace governed by current ATM rules and regulations. A feasible certification methodology on low-cost UAS – the main aspects of the HI-RISE project – are key to seamless integration for non-segregated airspace.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or drones, whether autonomously or remotely operated, can offer citizens many societal benefits in terms of supplying new and improved services. Drones are perfectly suited to do important tasks that are considered dull, dangerous or dirty, like traffic management, coastguard search & rescue, mapping fire or natural disaster areas and ecological surveillance. However, since high-value applications of UAS, including freight delivery, real-time traffic information and emergency
The HI-RISE project brings a new vision to assurance and certification procedures whereby a systematic methodology and tooling forms a bridge from a qualitative and intuitive approach to a formal validation procedure for the certification of the underlying UAS architecture. HI-RISE will shape this approach into a complete toolset that integrates all the experience and developments of previous projects and extend them towards UAS.
