Understanding RAMS Engineering
RAMS principles are integral throughout a product’s lifecycle, aimed at minimizing risks and operational costs. Anzen partners with leading manufacturers to facilitate the certification of both specific and certified categories.
R
Reliability
the capacity of a system or component to function under specified conditions for a designated duration
A
Availability
the capability to operate as needed in a specific habitat
M
Maintainability
the simplicity with which a product or system can be serviced, modified, or repaired
S
Safety
the assurance that a system will not fail in a manner that poses risks during its lifecycle

Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA) – evaluation of failure modes and their impacts on each system function at required levels
Failure Modes Effects Summary – overview of FME(C)A failures and their implications at the equipment level
Preliminary Safety Assessment (PSA) – identifies safety requirements at the system level and provides an initial compliance estimation
Intrinsic Hazard Analysis (IHA) – identifies internal hazards, assesses consequences, and defines mitigation strategies
System Safety Assessment (SSA) – demonstrates adherence to all quantitative and qualitative safety standards
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) – provides quantitative evaluations for failure scenarios or unforeseen events
Particular Risk Analysis (PRA) – independent assessments related to specific threats such as bird strikes, lightning, debris, and uncontained engine rotor failures
Common Cause Analysis (CCA) – ensures that component failures are independent occurrences
Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA) – independence assessments focused on the physical arrangement of equipment or systems
Reliability Prediction Report (RPR) – a quantitative analysis to determine the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of a complex system.

Additionally, we have collaborated with various universities and research institutions to share insights, advance the industry, and expedite enhancements in UAS development.
Special Airworthiness Certification
Airworthiness Certification for UAS & Drones
The intricacies of the certification process for UAS are heightened due to the risk assessment protocols known as SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment).
We assist clients in certifying a UAS by defining the certification roadmap and the SAIL (Specific Assurance and Integrity Levels), based on CONOPS (Concept of Operations), while also developing related safety activities. These frameworks help establish a sufficient level of confidence that operations can be conducted within an acceptable risk threshold.
eVTOL Certification
As a global leader in eVTOL, Anzen supports several prominent eVTOL platforms in the USA and Europe in their quest for eVTOL certification. With our extensive experience in RAMS for eVTOL engineering, we offer comprehensive solutions to ensure the safe and efficient operation of eVTOL vehicles.
our areas of expertise include:
- Electric propulsion
- Multiple Rotors
