Abstract
This paper describes ongoing research to develop a framework for implementing dynamically reconfiguring avionics and control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a test and development environment for experimental UAVs. The framework supports graceful degradation , where hardware and software failures cause a reduction in the quality or capability of the control system but does not result in total system failure. The approach uses a graphical specification representing modular software interdependencies and a runtime system manager that reconfigures the system. The techniques are currently being applied to the design of UAV control systems as part of the BIG BLUE Mars airplane testbed project at the University of Kentucky.
