I would think a simple inertial compare re pitch angle ( eg floor angle ) and horizontal flight path would give an reasonably approximate AOA via a totally internal system- at least accurate enough to identify out of range or false compares of two external AOAS sensors.

After all- Boeing must use a similar internal - inertial compare to their military orbital spaceplane which stays up for a year or more and then lands automatically. Reentry no doubt does not alllow external vane type sensors , etc.
