The anomaly was a flaw in the guidance mode transitions, which under certain condidons allowed the guidance to regress to an invalid acquisition state. This correction can now be easily made through the domain specific language specification of the state transition logic. However, a means of detecting and isolating the failure with software has been idendfied. Using secure partitioning and fault tolerant techniques, the system is redesigned to dynamically reconfigure itself in flight and utilize a work around solution. Testing shows that the work around solution still performs within-specification, thus eliminating the need for the hardware rebuild.
Perpetual testing continues to validate the correctness of the software, even after fielding.
In order to increase multi-target capability, and to minimize the chance of friendly fire incidents, a new target recognition algorithm is being implemented. The algorithm is dependent on a new processor that must be integrated into the existing hardware configuration. The heterogeneous processor configuration is captured in the schedule generation tool, and the hardware dependent code is generated for the target recognition software. Problem Analysis 3.
