Abstract
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), also known as drones, are a rapidly emerging technology that is being quickly adopted in many civil and military applications. Although there are several benefits, a number of safety risks also exist. It is essential to take a proactive approach in designing broader sociotechnical safety systems that support the safe and optimal use of this technology. We used the Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) method to develop an optimal control structure needed to ensure safe and effective RPAS operations.
