Risk Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (2311.05648v1)

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient risk management model for unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs. Our proposed risk management establishes a cyclic model with a continuous and iterative structure that is very adaptable to agile methods and all IT-related resources. This model can be used in many applications, but as a case study, we have discussed it for UAVs. The increasing use of UAVs or drones in many fields and the existence of different threats is the main reason to have an efficient risk management method for them. In this paper, we cover risks based on IT-driven assets to decrease the chance of losing any data, failing the equipment or the system, and missing the reputation or credit based on cyclic and iterative flow. Our current risk management model for UAVs or drones is based on qualitative measures and can cover most of IT-based risks.
