A control and/or management system (16) for a vehicle (10) comprises maneuvering actuators (30) for maneuvering the vehicle (10); system actors (26) for controlling inner system components (27) of the vehicle (10); sensors (22) for acquiring data associated with the system actors (26) and maneuvering actuators (30); and at least two redundant computers (18, 28, 24) for controlling and/or managing the vehicle (10). The system (16) comprises at least one of: (A) at least two redundant vehicle management computers (18) communicatively interconnected with the maneuvering actuators (30), system actors (26) and sensors (22), wherein a vehicle management computer (18) is adapted for generating system control commands for each maneuvering actuators (30) and for each system actor (26) based on the data acquired by the sensors (22); (B) at least two redundant remote interface units (24) for interconnecting a sensor (22) and/or a system actor (26) with a vehicle management computer (18) (C) at least two redundant actuator control computers (28) adapted for receiving maneuvering commands from at least two vehicle control computers (18), wherein each actuator control computer (28) is adapted for generating control commands for each maneuvering actuator (30) based on received maneuvering commands; (D) a common interface (38) for connecting an external computer (40),wherein the common interface (38) is directly connected to at least two redundant computers.
