Design of Advanced Fault Tolerant Control System in aeronautics and space domains

The project gathers together industrial and academic partners to promote innovative and robust technologies that could significantly increase spacecraft autonomy. It addresses the model-based Fault Detection, Identification and Recovery (FDIR) challenges for G&C (Guidance and Control). The picture is rather dark : there is a widening gap between the advanced FDIR methods being developed by the academic community and those currently in use by the industrial end-users. In fact, the selection of any advanced FDIR solution at a local or global level for space missions or aeronautical systems, necessarily includes a trade-off between the best adequacy of the technique and its implementation level for covering an expected fault profile, as well as its industrialization process with support tools for its design/tuning and validation. Many attractive advanced FDIR algorithmic solutions may not be accepted, and so cannot be adopted, without such industrial framework. The actions undertaken within SIRASAS aim at overcoming the dead zone between the scientific advanced methods proposed by the academic and research communities and the technological solutions demanded by the aerospace industry, with stringent operational constraints.
