SHIP CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B63H25/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to navigation. Proposed system comprises set of transducers (for example, stern plane transducer, drift angle transducer, etc), course setter, satellite navigation hardware, transducer data and other data acquisition unit, three computer modules, cloak pulse generator, and majorisation unit. Computer modules respond to input data received to process it in redundancy count mode. After computation of control effects, said modules output control codes via majorisation unit to ship actuators' control modules. Synchronised operation of computation modules allows identity of output data of all three computation modules. In case one of said modules fails, its output data may differ that of healthy modules. Yet, since data comes to external devices after majorisation unit it incorporates identical magnitudes from at least two healthy modules, that is, with module faulty, data of healthy modules comes to output.

EFFECT: higher reliability and safety.
