Fault Tolerant Design Concepts for Highly Integrated Flight Critical Guidance and Control Systems: Conference Proceedings Held at the Guidance and Control Panel Symposium (49th) Held in Toulouse, France on 10-13 October 1989
Abstract
The trend towards highly integrated systems continues to expand at a rapid rate. Recent examples include automated maneuvering attack systems, flight control/fire control coupling, mission sensor management, real-time armament fuzing and propulsion coupling/performance optimization. The prospect of improved mission effectiveness through integrated systems is a very real and powerful motivation with far reaching implication. Recent advances in microprocessor technology are bringing about fundamental changes in several traditional functional domains. Specifically, systems architecture requirements, partitioning considerations and functional performance parameters take on new meaning in the context of fully integrated flight critical systems. Effective system integration focuses on end-item functional performance using the most efficient mechanization possible. In this regard, system wide consideration of sensing elements, computational elements and command signalling loops are critically important. Crew station design considerations and the pilot's role must also be thoroughly assessed vis-a-vis varying levels of task automation and overall system wide integrity management requirements.
