This invention discloses a redundant architecture method for a UAV flight
control system, relating to the field of UAV control technology. It includes redundant design for four
layers: flight
sensor system, redundant flight control computer
system,
bus communication
system, and
actuator system. The
bus communication system employs a three-
bus redundant architecture consisting of a 1553B dual-bus, FlexRay bus, and
CAN bus. The redundant flight control computer system features automatic switching between three
modes: triple-mode redundancy, dual-mode redundancy, and single-mode redundancy, and possesses online fault channel repair and reconnection capabilities. The
actuator system includes aerodynamic control surface segment redundancy,
servo electrical dual-path redundancy, and dual-path access redundancy via the
CAN bus main path and RS422
backup path. This invention, using the aforementioned redundant architecture method for a UAV flight
control system, achieves long-endurance, highly reliable flight control with no awareness of single faults, return capability in the event of dual faults, and no degradation due to bus faults.
