Recent advances in software technology have the potential to revolutionize control system design. This paper describes a new software infrastructure for complex control systems, which exploits new and emerging software technologies. It presents an open control platform (OCP) for complex systems, including those that must be reconfigured or customized in real-time for extreme-performance applications. An application of the OCP to the control system design of an autonomous aerial vehicle is described.
