Structured expert scenario methodology for autonomous system validation applied to a multi- UAS ground control station design

For the past several years, our team has developed and experimented with a novel method to support the verification and validation (V&V) of autonomous systems. This method, entitled Expert-Guided Scenarios for Autonomy Validation (EGS-AV), combines an extensible, database-oriented information model for operational scenarios with a systematic process for eliciting validation information from subject matter experts (SMEs). EGS-AV fills a critical...
