Adaptive Guidance & Control (AG&C)
AG&C Approach
AG&C Definition
• A flight control algorithm that stabilizes and controls the flight vehicle in real time in accordance to its updated health capabilities
• Uses ISHM real-time outputs
• Modifies actuator commands and flight trajectory according to its health capabilities to enhance safe operation in the event of failures

Technical Challenges
• Real-time modeling of vehicle dynamics under failures and degradation
• Real-time computation of vehicle constraints and flyable envelope
• Full envelope, integrated adaptive guidance and control law for all flight segments
• Verification, validation, certification of an adaptive, reconfigurable guidance and control algorithms

Designing for Certification…
Focus Areas…as applied to ISHM•Composable Architecture
•Modular, pre-certified building blocks to increase reuse and speed up design
•System Partitioning•Time and space separated software and data with explicit and well-defined communication between partitions
•Advanced Analysis Techniques•Formalize design requirements to facilitate the use of formal methods and code analyzers
•Integrity Management•Analytical redundancy to determine soundness of data from sensors and subsystems
10
Challenges in Certification
Non-deterministism drives Complexity Explosion
As applied to ISHM•Proving the reliability/correctness of data from sensors and subsystems•Trusting the decision on performance capabilities of system by algorithms•Proving the system latency will not impact vehicle safety
As applied to AG&C•Proving stability margins for attitude after control change•Proving convergence time to allow for real-time, safe adaptation
