Claim 8:
9. A first sensor device, comprising:
a sensing element;
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, wherein the operations comprise:
generating first sensed information associated with a first aircraft physical hardware component based on execution of a primary sensing function and a first signal from the sensing element;
based on a determination that a second sensor device is not operating properly, enabling a backup sensing function associated with a second aircraft physical hardware component, different than the first aircraft physical hardware component, wherein the backup sensing function is a same sensing function performed by the second sensor device; and
generating second sensed information associated with the second aircraft physical hardware component using the backup sensing function and a second signal from the sensing element, wherein the generating of the first sensed information and the generating of the second sensed information comprises concurrently performing the generating of the first sensed information and the generating of the second sensed information.
