The use of non-dedicated redundancy in the AMCAD fault tolerant control system

The Flight Control Division of the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory has been researching the applicability of fault-tolerant multiprocessor computing architectures for flight/vehicle control. A primary goal is to utilize pools of computing resources with software-mapped redundant tasks. In the present work, the concept of logical redundancy is discussed as applied in the advanced multiprocessor control architecture development (AMCAD) conceptual system and in-house laboratory testbed. In addition, an overview of AMCAD is given.<
