Abstract :
The AFWAL/FIG control reconfigurable combat aircraft (CRCA) effort, part of the Self-Repairing Flight Control System (SRFCS) Program, exploits reconfiguration to maintain mission capability. Specifically, reconfigurable control laws, fault detection and isolation (FDI) logic, and a positive pilot alert (PPA) system have been developed for an advanced-tactical-fighter-class aircraft simulation. The authors describe the six degree-of-freedom CRCA piloted simulation conducted at the USAF Large Amplitude Multimode Aerospace Research Simulator (LAMARS) facility. The aircraft simulation, damage/failure aerodynamic math modeling, flight control computer (FCC) software, pilot/vehicle interface, and simulation environment are discussed
