While the rapid development of the UAV technologies was recently reviewed by survey reports focusing on the architecture, cost, energy efficiency, communication, and civil application aspects, the computing platforms\u2019 reliability perspective was overlooked. Moreover, due to the rising complexity and diversity of today\u2019s UAV CPs, their reliability is becoming a prominent issue demanding up-to-date solutions tailored to the UAV specifics. The objective of this work is to address this gap, focusing on the hardware reliability aspect. This research studies the UAV CPs deployed for representative applications, specific fault and failure modes, and existing approaches for reliability assessment and enhancement in CPs for failure-free UAV operation. This study indicates how faults and failures occur in the various system layers of UAVs and analyzes open challenges. We advocate a concept of a cross-layer reliability model tailored to UAVs\u2019 onboard intelligence and identify directions for future research in this area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22166286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]],"date-time":"2022-08-22T01:56:40Z","timestamp":1661133400000},"page":"6286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["A Survey on UAV Computing Platforms: A Hardware Reliability Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8109-6929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Foisal","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Systems, Tallinn University of Technology, 12618 Tallinn, Estonia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maksim","family":"Jenihhin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Systems, Tallinn University of Technology, 12618 Tallinn, Estonia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Khan, N.A., Brohi, S.N., and Jhanjhi, N.
