An actuator monitoring and response system is disclosed. Sensor data is received from an inertial measurement unit on a vehicle. An observed attitude and an observed rate of change in attitude of the vehicle is determined based on the sensor data, determine an expected attitude and an expected rate of change in attitude of the vehicle based on a model of a vehicle failure mode, identify a set of one or more malfunctioning actuators based on the observed attitude, the observed rate of change in attitude, the expected attitude, and the expected rate of change in attitude. The processor is further configured to perform a responsive action based on the set of one or more malfunctioning actuators.
