Abstract

A method includes receiving first vehicle data from a sensor on a vehicle at one or more processors executing a first software module. The method includes determining a risk value, a confidence value associated with whether the first vehicle data matches a validated vehicle state, and a benefit value associated with providing the first vehicle data to a second software module. The method includes calculating a health score associated with the first vehicle data based on the risk value, the confidence value, and the benefit value. The method includes, in response to the health score meeting a threshold value, determining whether the first vehicle data is internally consistent, externally consistent, and stable over time. The method further includes, in response to the first vehicle data being internally consistent, externally consistent, and stable over time, providing the first vehicle data to a vehicle flight control system.
