This article describes a novel scheme for autonomous component health management (ACHM) with failed actuator detection and identification and failed sensor detection, identification, and avoidance. This new scheme has features that are very superior to those with triple redundant sensing and voting, yet requires fewer sensors; it can be applied to any system with redundant sensing. Relevant background to the ACHM scheme is provided in this article. Simulation results for its application to a single-axis spacecraft attitude control system with a third-order plant and dual-redundant measurements of the system states are presented. The ACHM scheme fulfills key functions needed by an integrated vehicle health monitoring (IVHM) system. It is autonomous; is adaptive; works in real time; provides optimal state estimation; identifies failed components; avoids failed components; reconfigures for multiple failures, reconfigures for intermittent failures; works for hard-over, soft, and zero-output failures; and works for both open- and closed-loop systems. The ACHM scheme combines a prefilter that generates preliminary estimates of the system states, detects and identifies failed sensors and actuators, and avoids failed sensors in generating preliminary estimates of the system states with a fixed-gain Kalman filter that provides model-based state estimates, which are utilized in the failure detection logic, and generates optimal estimates for the system states. The simulation results show that ACHM can successfully detect, identify, and avoid sensor failures that are single or multiple; persistent and intermittent; and hard-over, soft, and zero-output types. It is now ready to be tested on a computer model of an actual system.
