Integrated guidance and control of guided projectile with multiple constraints based on fuzzy adaptive and dynamic surface

Based on fuzzy adaptive and dynamic surface(FADS),an integrated guidance and control(IGC)approach was proposed for large caliber naval gun guided projectile,which was robust to target maneuver,canard dynamic characteristics,and multiple constraints,such as impact angle,limited measurement of line of sight(LOS)angle rate and nonlinear saturation of canard deflection.Initially,a strict feedback cascade model of IGC in longitudinal plane was established,and extended state observer(ESO)was designed to estimate LOS angle rate and uncertain disturbances with unknown boundary inside and outside of system,including aerodynamic parameters perturbation,target maneuver and model errors.Secondly,aiming at zeroing LOS angle tracking error and LOS angle rate in finite time,a nonsingular terminal sliding mode(NTSM)was designed with adaptive exponential reaching law.Furthermore,combining with dynamic surface,which prevented the complex differential of virtual control laws,the fuzzy adaptive systems were designed to approximate observation errors of uncertain disturbances and to reduce chatter of control law.Finally,the adaptive Nussbaum gain function was introduced to compensate nonlinear saturation of canard deflection.The LOS angle tracking error and LOS angle rate were convergent in finite time and whole system states were uniform ultimately bounded,rigorously proven by Lyapunov stability theory.Hardware-in-the-loop simulation(HILS)and digital simulation experiments both showed FADS provided guided projectile with good guidance performance while striking targets with different maneuvering forms.

A global fast convergent integrated guidance and control design approach is proposed. A disturbance observer is utilized to estimate the uncertainties of integrated guidance and control model in finite time. According to the multiple sliding-mode surface control, the independent nonsingular terminal sliding functions are presented in each step, and all the sliding-mode surfaces run parallel. These presented sliding-mode surfaces keep zero value from a certain time, and the system states converge quickly in sliding phase. Therefore, the system response speed is increased. The proposed method offers the global convergent time analytically, which is useful to optimize the transient performance of system. Simulation results are used to verify the proposed method.

First of all, the IGC system model of the UCAV is built based on the three-channel independent design idea, which reduces the difficulties of designing the controller. Then, IGC control laws are designed using the trajectory linearization control (TLC). A nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) is introduced to the IGC controller to reject various uncertainties, such as the aerodynamic parameter perturbation and the measurement error interference. The stability of the closed-loop system is proven by using the Lyapunov theorem. The performance of the proposed IGC design method is verified in a terminal attack mission of the suicide UCAV. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness in the aspects of guidance accuracy and system robustness.

A composited integrated guidance and control(IGC) algorithm is presented to tackle the problem of the IGC design in the dive phase for the bank-to-turn(BTT) vehicle with the inaccuracy information of the line-of-sight(LOS) rate. For the sake of theoretical derivation, an IGC model in the pitch plane is established. The high-order finite-time state observer(FTSO), with the LOS angle as the single input, is employed to reconstruct the states of the system online. Besides, a composited IGC algorithm is presented via the fusion of back-stepping and dynamic inverse. Compared with the traditional IGC algorithm, the proposed composited IGC method can attenuate effectively the design conservation of the flight control system, while the LOS rate is mixed with noise. Extensive experiments have been performed to demonstrate that the proposed approach is globally finite-time stable and strongly robust against parameter uncertainty.

Impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant IGC method for Ski-to-Turn missiles with unsteady aerodynamics and multiple disturbances

An impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant integrated guidance and control method for Ski-to-Turn(STT)missiles subject to unsteady aerodynamics and multiple disturbances is proposed.Unsteady aerodynamics appears when flight vehicles are in a transonic state or confronted with unstable airflow.Meanwhile,actuator failures and multisource model uncertainties are introduced.However,the boundaries of these multisource uncertainties are assumed unknown.The target is assumed to execute high maneuver movement which is unknown to the missile.Furthermore,impact angle constraint puts forward higher requirements for the interception accuracy of the integrated guidance and control(IGC)method.The impact angle constraint and the precise interception are established as the object of the IGC method.Then,the boundaries of the lumped disturbances are estimated,and several fuzzy logic systems are introduced to compensate the unknown nonlinearities and uncertainties.Next,a series of adaptive laws are developed so that the undesirable effects arising from unsteady aerodynamics,actuator failures and unknown uncertainties could be suppressed.Consequently,an impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant IGC method with three loops is constructed and a perfect hit-to-kill interception with specified impact angle can be implemented.Eventually,the numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Backstepping design of missile guidance and control based on adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control

This paper presents an integrated missile guidance and control law based on adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control. The integrated model is formulated as a block-strict-feedback nonlinear system, in which modeling errors, unmodeled nonlinearities, target maneuvers, etc. are viewed as unknown uncertainties. The adaptive nonlinear control law is designed based on backstepping and sliding mode control techniques. An adaptive fuzzy system is adopted to approximate the coupling nonlinear functions of the system, and for the uncertainties, we utilize an online-adaptive control law to estimate the unknown parameters. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is also conducted. Simulation results show that, with the application of the adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control, small miss distances and smooth missile trajectories are achieved, and the system is robust against system uncertainties and external disturbances.

Integrated guidance and control design of a flight vehicle with side-window detection

This paper considers the guidance and control problem of a flight vehicle with sidewindow detection. In order to guarantee the target remaining in the seeker＇s sight of view, the line of sight and the attitude of the flight vehicle should be under some constraints caused by the sidewindow, which leads to coupling between the guidance and the attitude dynamics model. To deal with the side-window constraints and the coupling, a novel Integrated Guidance and Control（IGC）design approach is proposed. Firstly, the relative motion equations are derived in the body-Line of Sight（LOS） coordinate system. And the guidance and control problem of the flight vehicle is formulated into an IGC problem with state constraints. Then, based on the singular perturbation method, the IGC problem is decomposed into the control design of the quasi-steady-state subsystem and the boundary-layer subsystem which can be designed separately. Finally, the receding horizon control is applied to the control design for the two subsystems. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
