UAS early warning

Hi,

DW:

Because it's one of the most difficult situations to reliably work out

An early warning alerting the crew, BEFORE System degrades was feasible long time ago. We can implement it even without a DSP algorithm. Early warning is SIMPLE.

Your answer shows:

1) Your focus is only in an automatic System
2) It was not clear to you the approach i am defending on UAS

The idea is to immediately HELP the crew to diagnose it before chances of GIGO

Garbage in, gospel out is a more recent expansion of the acronym. It is a sardonic comment on the tendency to put excessive trust in "computerized" data, and on the propensity for individuals to blindly accept what the computer says. Since the data goes through the computer, people tend to believe it:
Decision-makers increasingly face computer-generated information and analyses that could be collected and analyzed in no other way. Precisely for that reason, going behind that output is out of the question, even if one has good cause to be suspicious. In short, the computer analysis becomes the gospel.
