Laboratory Implementation of the Continuously Reconfiguring Multi-Microprocessor Flight Control System (CRMMFCS).

摘要

The initial CRMMFSC report (AFWAL-TR-81-3070/AD-A101412) highlighted the theoretical concepts and established the boundaries for realizing an autonomously distributed control system. This report covers the hardware and software methods used in the laboratory model to achieve the goals as set down in the concept phase. The discussion highlights the hardware construction, revealing the operations and the reasoning behind the choices made. The section on software reviews the techniques used to glue the hardware together to become a system. The completed laboratory model and its testing under a number of conditions are discussed.
