Performance enhancement of a multiple model adaptive estimator
P.S. Maybeck, P.D. Hanlon · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1995
We describe performance improvement techniques for a multiple model adaptive estimator (MMAE) used to detect and identify control surface and sensor failures on an unmanned flight vehicle. Initially failure identification was accomplished within 4 s of onset, but by removing the "/spl beta/ dominance" effects, bounding the hypothesis conditional probabilities, retuning the Kalman filters, increasing the penalty for measurement residuals, decreasing the probability smoothing, and increasing residual propagation, the identification time was reduced to 2 s.>
