To keep up with today's dense metropolitan areas and their accompanying traffic problems, a growing number of towns are looking for more advanced and swift urban taxi drones. The safety parameters that must be taken into consideration may be the most important element in the widespread use of such technology. Most recent aviation mishaps have happened during the landing phase, making this a particularly important safety consideration for Vertical and/or Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) drones. In this study, we focused on improving the fault tolerance of the processor architectures used by the predecessors of Autonomous Landing Guidance Assistance Systems (ALGAS), which in turn improves their decision-making capabilities. Furthermore, this is achieved by proposing a fault-tolerant processing architecture that depends on the Gamma Distribution Sliding Window Unit (GDSWU). This proposed GDSWU has been designed completely using VHDL, and the targeted FPFA was the Intel Cyclone V 5CGXFC9D6F27C7 chip. The GDSWU could operate at a maximum frequency of 369.96 MHz, as calculated by the synthesis results of the INTEL Quartus Prime program. The suggested GDSWU core only requires 20.36 mW for dynamic core and I/O power consumption.
