Fault Tolerant Considerations and Methods for Guidance and Control Systems
Abstract
This document presents a description of recent trends and developments in analysis and design methods for fault tolerant guidance and control systems architectures. The problems and issues associated with these architectures, including both hardware and software aspects, are addressed exploring the many developments underway in NATO in the following areas: Advances in fault tolerant architectures; Advances in analytical fault-detection methods; Design considerations and methods; Analysis and testing methods. Keywords: High integrity software; Fault tolerance; Fault avoidance software; Software dependability; Fault diagnostic; Error recovery; Dissimilar redundancy. Contents: Computing Systems Dependability and Fault Tolerance: Basic Concepts and Terminology; The Application of Emulation Techniques in the Analysis of Highly Reliable Guidance and Control Computer Systems; Some Approaches to the Design of High Integrity Software; Robust Control System Design; Reliability Modeling of Fault Tolerant Computer Based Systems; Isaure: Integration of Security and Fault Tolerance in the Realite 2000 System; Optimal Detection of Sensor Failures in Flight Control Systems Using Deterministic Observers; Assessment of Software Quality for the Airbus A 310 Automatic Pilot; and Flight Test of a Resident Backup Software System.
