Fault Detection and Diagnosis of a Certain UAV Based on Dual Unscented Kalman Filter

This paper presents an applicable procedure of integrated fault detection and diagnosis for an unmanned aerial vehicle aircraft model. The implementation of a Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) scheme in handling partial control effector fault cases based on a dual unscented Kalman filter (DUKF) and a Baysian rule for detection and isolation decision making. Simulation results show satisfactory results for detecting and diagnosing the control effectors failures.
