High Robustness Containment Design Assurance

In plain language

For high robustness, the critical software and hardware on the drone must be designed and certified to strict aviation standards (like DO-178 or ASTM standards) to prevent software glitches from causing a fly-away.

Requirement as structured

TCCA guidance states that high robustness containment requires establishing a system design process based on industry standards such as DO-178/254 or ASTM F3201-16 for hardware and software where a fault could lead to loss of containment.

Original regulatory text

In addition to the failure analysis, High Robustness containment also includes a requirement for design assurance on hardware and software where a fault could lead to a loss of containment. Applicants are expected to establish a system design process that is based on an industry standard such as DO-178/254 or ASTM F3201-16.
