Fig 8.

The expected time of each status within T unit time described in logarithm form.

(a) The expected time within 80ms. (b) The expected time within 60m, (c) The expected time within 24h. (a)Within 80ms, the probability of system shutdown is smaller. (b) As time goes on, the danger status goes up. The UAV is fit to carry out a short-term mission. (c)The reliability of hardware determines UAV whether can perform tasks for a long time.
