On-line failure detection and identification (FDI) and adaptive reconfigurable control (ARC) in aerospace applications

In this paper we describe our recent results related to online failure detection and identification (FDI) and adaptive reconfigurable control (ARC) techniques developed in the context of aerial and space vehicles. Our approach is based on the multiple models, switching and tuning (MMST) methodology and its extensions, and has been demonstrated as an efficient tool for fault tolerant control under subsystem and component failures and structural damage.
