Active System Control

Abstract

This chapter describes the main principles and models of active system control (ASC). The main topics include:

  • Analyse features of existing control schemes systems to ensure that the good are retained and the bad eliminated

  • Introduce the principle of ASC (PASC)

  • Set out the theoretical PASCs, including a means of implementation

  • Investigate the possibility and specific features of the PASC implementation at the various levels of PASC: operational life of the aircraft, each individual flight and the PASC itself, i.e., its application in-the-large, medium and small

  • Analyse the limits of the PASC implementation in terms of reliability modelling

  • Propose a practical process model for on-board active control monitoring

  • Define the theoretical background for specifications of the PASC implementations

The aspects regarding the practical application and algorithmically defined implementation of PASC are described in later chapters.
