Human factors & human performance modelling for reducing the number of UAS incidents<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

As more and more Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) come into operations, the risk of incidents also increases. Therefore, RMA performs research to support the UAS operators by developing a strategy to incorporate human factors in the evaluation of UAS and UAS operators. A qualitative and quantitative benchmarking tool based on standardized test methodologies is under development<\/a>, integrated into a realistic simulation environment. This will enable:<\/p>\n
