Reliability, redundancy, and survivability are key issues as integrated requirements for flight control, fire control, propulsion control and navigation are developed. These integrated systems require dependable sources of inertial measurement data. Current inertial systems, however, are expensive to acquire and maintain, dedicated to specific systems, and are not designed to meet integrated reliability, redundancy, and survivability, requirements. The Multifunction Strapdown Inertial System concept uses a minimum number of inertial sensors in a survivable configuration to provide inertial data for flight control, navigation, weapon delivery, cockpit displays, and sensor stabilization. Because of advantages in survivability, life cycle cost, maintainability and performance, the Multifunction Flight Control Reference System (MFCRS) program was initiated to verify, through flight test, on a McDonnel Douglas F-15 Eagle the key issues of redundancy management and flight control. A redundancy management system based on parity equations was designed. The sensors were arranged in two skewed and dispersed clusters. (Author)
