Anotation:

The course is designed for students of Aeronautics and Astronautics field of study. It provides detailed knowledge about airborne monitoring and control systems used on boards of aircrafts and spacecrafts. We cover subjects such as sensors, control and systems including: GPWS, ISN, FADEC, and EEC with important relation and trade-off problems. Full automatic monitoring and control systems of aircrafts' and spacecrafts ' propulsions wit aim on failure detection, isolation and recovery are taught together with problems introduced by the whole hierarchical structures of these systems and their digital networks. Partially it focuses on types of flight simulators and unmanned aerial vehicles, and military applications. The exercises allow students to create data fusion algorithms during hands-on experiments with wireless Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHRS) and a model of a satellite.

Study targets:

Students get familiar with functions at the modern, complex electronic systems and the principle of internal data processing focused on problem solving - SW and electronics faults. The subject covers certification issues of complex systems by an external authority (EASA, FAA, ESA, ... ). Exercises provide hands-on experiments targeted on AHRS data processing and design of a control algorithm for a small satellite.

Course outlines:

1) Analog and digital airborne monitoring systems and their hierarchical structures
2) Principles and methods for assuring the safety of the airborne systems and subsystems
3) Methods and means for avionic systems programming
4) Avionics systems and their software certification procedures
5) Means and subsystems of aircraft and spacecraft monitoring systems
6) Propulsion automatic control systems (FADEC, EEC etc.)
7) Flight data recorders
8) Primary and secondary airborne displays and their usage with EFIS, ECAM, EICAS, GPWS
9) Inertial navigation systems (INS) - principles, types and sensors
10) INS integration into control systems
11) Systems of unmanned aerial vehicles and small aircrafts
12) Principles and systems for a crew training
13) Systems of military aircrafts and satellites
14) Future of aircraft systems

Exercises outline:

1) Introduction, content, homework assignment.
2) Introduction into the instrument development engine.
3) Practicing programing techniques in C and MS Visual Studio.
4) Presentation of the first part of the individual assignment.
