Abstract

We present an approach to the integration of the quantitative and qualitative aspects of safety assessment to facilitate the certification of complex systems using a quantitative criteria. The approach is based on documenting all of all of the relevant safety factors in a system safety case and then transitioning all of the qualitative factors to conservative quantitative factors or to conditions in conditional probabilities. We illustrate the technique using a hypothetical UAS system.
