Summary: | Background. The path to the creation of highly reliable equipment, each separate part of which, due
to several factors, has limited reliability, is to develop reconfigurable systems with an excessive number of heterogeneous
components. The objective of the article is to summarize the characteristics of the authors of the approach to
managing redundancy based on configuration supervisors, as well as the analysis of the results achieved. Materials
and methods. The principal features of the approach to the reduction management of technical systems using configuration
supervisors, which consist in the separation of all means of supporting each configuration, as well as the use of
paired arbitration procedures for configurations and computers. Such arbitration allows for the preferences formed
preference matrices from among the disposable computers and configurations such that have guaranteed health and, if
necessary, other advantages over alternatives. Using the analysis of structural schemes and calculations of the basic
characteristics of fault tolerance, an assessment of the effectiveness of the approach in comparison with the wellknown
approaches to reservation management is carried out. Results. Comparison of the proposed system of redundancy
management system with schemes of known approaches showed a tangible advantage. Conclusions. The use of
a highly reliable redundancy management system of the proposed type will allow the required levels of reliability of
onboard complexes with an excessive number of heterogeneous resources.
