When I worked on military autonomous vehicles (which I’d expect to be similar to these) we always had at least two system on board: 1) A real-time flight controller, 2) One or more Linux computers, networked via an on-board LAN which performed all the other tasks.

I worked with some people of that particular JPL software team to setup a similar setup like the Mars helicopter for a earth UAV.

Can confirm that multiple real time systems are used. They are controlled by a non real time Linux system.
