Abstract

This paper presents the interim results of a three-year NASA project for the development of a comprehensive framework for the validation and verification (V&V) of model-based control systems and adaptive control systems (MBCSs/ACSs), with focus on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) applications. The framework applies a formal V&V methodology based on a combination of logic-dynamic model constructs and associated analysis processes, to support the generation of a documentable assurance case for a UAS control system, and to demonstrate its compliance with applicable aviation system certification standards .
