Abstract
AI components (e.g., Deep Neural Networks) are increasingly used in unmanned
Aerospace systems for safety-relevant applications. Rigorous Verification and
Validation methods for such components are still in their infancy and thus, monitoring
of the AI's behavior during runtime is essential. In this paper, we will present a
runtime-monitoring architecture, which combines the advanced statistical analysis
framework SYSAI (System Analysis using Statistical AI) with temporal and
probabilistic runtime monitoring carried out by R2U2 (Realizable, Responsive, and
Unobtrusive Unit). Learned statistical models of complex systems with AI
components are produced by the SYSAI framework and provide detailed information
to enable the R2U2 runtime monitor to efficiently perform advanced safety and
performance checks in nominal and off-nominal conditions. We will present initial
results of our tool set and architecture on a case study, a DNN-based autonomous
centerline tracking system (ACT).
