In this paper, we propose a novel approach for Failure Detection and Identification (FDI) in nonlinear systems based on the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) approach. In the nonlinear-system FDI application, the main idea consists of representing each failure mode by a model and combining the outputs of EKF’s based on different models in a near-optimal way. This IMM-FDI filter provides not only failure detection and identification but also a near-optimal estimate of the system state (even during a failure). The approach has been applied successfully to a problem of spacecraft autonomy for the detection and identification of sensor (gyro, star tracker) and actuator failures. The results of this application show that IMM-EKF detects and identifies failures much more rapidly and reliably than the multi-hypothesis EKF. Furthermore, it handles satisfactorily both permanent and transient failures.
