Question

What is the failure probability for a UAV?

(a) 10/hour

(b) 10^2/hour

(c) 10^-3/hour

(d) 10^-5/hour

This question was posed to me in exam.

I want to ask this question from Modular Avionics Architectures & UAV Avionics in division Avionics System Integration of Avionics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) 10^-5/hour

Explanation: Since the UAV is unmanned its failure would not be fatal, the failure probability for a UAV is less than that of a normal aircraft with a figure of 10^-5/hour. Although, a failure might cause damage to the UAV and where it falls. The failure probability differs from mission to mission.
