Abstract
Type certification of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) requires the submission of certification test documents that combine the required criteria with several methods of conformity certification (MoC) to demonstrate safety, quality, uniformity, and so on. Since requirement criteria and MoCs are provided in documents, it is considered effective for certification activities to clarify the relationship between requirement criteria, MoCs, and submitted documents by modeling their contents. In addition, modeling the basic components of the aircraft and the external environment and relating them to the model for certification will streamline the certification process for the completed aircraft.In this paper, we propose the use of MBSE to contribute to safety design activities for type certification of drones by constructing a model for safety certification and a drone design model in a hierarchical manner using a SysML model, assuming Type 2 certification.
