Abstract
A safety assurance system and apparatus for improving the safety of unmanned vehicles where various computer, GPS and proximity data is collected onboard from the unmanned vehicle and transmitted to a ground/home station, where the data is assigned values according to fuzzy logic rules. The values are input to a fuzzy logic safety module and three different fuzzy logic security modules to safety and risk scores. The safety and risk scores are then applied to a decision tree to determine whether the native navigation control system should be confirmed to continue mission or overridden to hover/idle in place, land in place or return to home.
