| Summary: | The innovative quadrotor UAS approach for delivery missions presents significant opportunities to address logistical distribution challenges (i.e. medical delivery) in remote and urban areas. The UAS efficiency of the quadrotor, without the need for additional infrastructure such as runways, makes it increasingly applicable in both areas. However, the potential implementation of UAS for medical delivery missions comes with considerable risks, such as collisions with manned aircraft or UAS crashes that could damage infrastructure and cause fatal injuries to human life. Therefore, before UAS operations are performed, an operational risk assessment method is required to confirm operations' safety, robustness, and success. JARUS offers a risk assessment methodology called SORA for UAS operations. EASA and the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation have recognised and approved this methodology as a risk assessment method for specific UAS categories. SORA provides a step-by-step framework in risk assessment to identify, evaluate, and determine necessary mitigation actions to achieve an acceptable means of compliance (MoC). In addition, EASA has announced using the latest version, SORA V2.5, planned for implementation in the fourth quarter of 2023. On the other hand, The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation also plans to adopt this newest version for UAS operations. Several updates and simplifications have been made to this version. As a result, this thesis presents the application of risk assessment using SORA V2.5 for medical delivery operations in remote and urban areas using quadrotor UAS. The analysis in this thesis covers each step of SORA V2.5, including risk identification and evaluation, as well as the implementation of mitigations in the conducted mission. The results indicate that SORA 2.5 can be implemented in this mission by taking appropriate mitigation actions to assure operational safety. There are also recommendations for optimising risk identification, which can complement the SORA V2.5 methodology.
