Assessment of ergodesign level of Unmanned Aerial System

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are widely integrated into different sides of human activity. The effective application of UAS to complete particular tasks depends on multiple factors. The success of the UAS mission highly depends on the performance of human-to-UAS interaction. Effective UAS should meet the requirements of ergonomic design of each UAS component including ground control station, unmanned aerial vehicle, and launch-landing devices. In the paper, we develop a system to provide an assessment of the UAS ergodesign level. The proposed system is grounded on ergodesign indicators of UAS elements quality. The total level of ergodesign quality is estimated as a weighted sum of all indicators. A method of expert judgment is used to identify each indicator value. The proposed system is based on centralized software with the main analysis on server side and parameters assessment module in remote terminals. The proposed system architecture supports multiple users and participation in many tasks of UAS assessment simultaneously. Also, all data is coded with a unified user sequence and cannot be recovered.Keywords. ergonomic design, unmanned aerial system, expert judgment method, statistical analysis, software This is an archival copy of the original publication in CEUR Workshop Proceedings of the International Workshop on Data Analytics (WDA 2025), vol. 3912, 2025, pp. 61-70 .
