子系统和系统组件的原型通常被认为是一项开发任务。本文展示了在任何开发活动之前，将原型作为需求获取过程中的一项活动的有用性。它是从工程技术管理领域来探讨的。它使用需求工程方法来确定工具和方法，以制定南非金矿使用的地下无人驾驶航空系统的需求，以检查箱孔和矿槽。箱孔和溜槽是垂直隧道，矿石从采场移动到竖井时必须通过这些隧道，在竖井中，矿石被拖到地面进行加工。将更熟悉的新产品开发框架与需求工程过程进行了比较。给出了四旋翼平台、平台保持传感器阵列、用于位置保持的光流传感器、用于操作员可视化的视觉传感器和操作员界面的原型。在选择这些子系统原型时，将讨论感知到的重大技术挑战作为动机，这些原型将在形成需求获取活动的基础的访谈中使用。
Prototyping of subsystem and system components is most often thought of as a development task. This paper shows the usefulness of prototyping as an activity in the requirements elicitation process, prior to any development activities. It is approached from the field of engineering and technology management. It uses the Requirements Engineering approach to identify tools and methods for the development of the requirements for an underground unmanned aerial system for use in South Africa's' gold mines to inspect box-holes and ore-passes. Box-holes and ore-passes are vertical tunnels through which the ore must pass in moving from the stope, where it is mined, to the shaft, where it is hauled to the surface for processing. The more familiar new product development framework is compared to the requirement engineering process. The prototypes of a number of subsystems are presented, namely, a quadrotor platform, a platform preservation sensor array, an optical flow sensor for position holding, a vision sensor for operator visualization, and an operator interface. The perceived significant technological challenges are discussed as motivation in the choice of these subsystem prototypes that will be used in the interviews that are to form the basis of the requirements elicitation activity.
