Summary:Mission success rates for unmanned missions still fall significantly below those for manned vehicle missions. The goal of this paper is to describe a new approach to the design of vehicle management software that can significantly improve the mission success rate of future Uninhabited Air Vehicles (UAVs), and to introduce performance assessment methodologies which allow mission success rates to be estimated under a wide range of sources of uncertainty.
