Empirical Systems Aerospace Inc. (Esaero) was awarded a $124,907.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop an Integrated Autonomous Controller (IAC) with Health State Awareness (HSA) capabilities for distributed electric propulsion systems. The IAC will be integrated with a custom hexacopter test platform owned by Esaero and demonstrated in flight with simulated fault events at Esaero's flight test facility in Oceano, California. The proposed system includes a Pixhawk autopilot with ArduPilot software, a Jetson TX2 module embedded with Esaero's proprietary fault detection algorithm, and a data acquisition system with sensors. The IAC is expected to enable safer operation of aircraft during flight testing and in-service use, with secondary benefits including reliability-centered maintenance and more efficient hybrid electric propulsion system operation.
