In the context of ship survivability,sensors may represent a
weak link in the chain with respect to control system
functionality under damage conditions.Advanced control
functions,such as intelligent power system reconfiguration,
will be dependent on accurate sensor inputs in order to
perform properly.The ability to detect s ensor failure and to
provide a corresponding analytical or "soft" estimate to all
control functions that rely on the measurement will be an
essential requirement.Analytical redundancy costs far less
than physical redundancy for critical sensor measurements,
and can lower the overall cost of the ship.
