Virtual target guidance-based distributed model predictive control for formation control of multiple UAVs

The paper proposes a Virtual Target Guidance (VTG)-based distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme for formation control of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). First, a framework of distributed MPC scheme is designed in which each UAV only shares the information with its neighbors, and the obtained local Finite-Horizon Optimal Control Problem (FHOCP) can be solved by swarm intelligent optimization algorithm. Then, a VTG approach is developed and integrated into the distributed MPC scheme to achieve trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance. Further, an event-triggered mechanism is proposed to reduce the computational burden for UAV formation control, which takes into consideration the predictive state errors as well as the convergence of cost function. Numerical simulations show that the proposed VTG-based distributed MPC scheme is more computationally efficient to achieve formation control of multiple UAVs in comparison with the traditional distributed MPC method.     

Multi-UAV coordination control by chaotic grey wolf optimization based distributed MPC with event-triggered strategy

The paper proposes a new swarm intelligence-based distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for coordination control of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). First, a distributed MPC framework is designed and each member only shares the information with neighbors. The Chaotic Grey Wolf Optimization (CGWO) method is developed on the basis of chaotic initialization and chaotic search to solve the local Finite Horizon Optimal Control Problem (FHOCP). Then, the distributed cost function is designed and integrated into each FHOCP to achieve multi-UAV formation control and trajectory tracking with no-fly zone constraint. Further, an event-triggered strategy is proposed to reduce the computational burden for the distributed MPC approach, which considers the predicted state errors and the convergence of cost function. Simulation results show that the CGWO-based distributed MPC approach is more computationally efficient to achieve multi-UAV coordination control than traditional method.

Obstacle avoidance for multi-missile network via distributed coordination algorithm

A distributed coordination algorithm is proposed to enhance the engagement of the multi-missile network in consideration of obstacle avoidance. To achieve a cooperative interception,the guidance law is developed in a simple form that consists of three individual components for target capture, time coordination and obstacle avoidance. The distributed coordination algorithm enables a group of interceptor missiles to reach the target simultaneously, even if some member in the multi-missile network can only collect the information from nearest neighbors. The simulation results show that the guidance strategy provides a feasible tool to implement obstacle avoidance for the multi-missile network with satisfactory accuracy of target capture. The effects of the gain parameters are also discussed to evaluate the proposed approach.     

带有引诱角色的多飞行器协同最优制导方法

考虑我方高价值飞行器面临对方拦截器拦截时,发射两枚防御器对拦截器进行拦截的情形。针对对方拦截器采用扩展比例导引律,在4个飞行器均具有一阶线性动力学特性假设下,基于最优控制理论设计了能在拦截末端施加相对拦截角的显式协同制导律。显式协同制导律将高价值飞行器和两枚防御器三者的协同考虑在内,给出了三者最优控制输入的解析解。仿真结果表明,设计的制导律能使两防御器成功拦截敌方拦截器,且在拦截末端施加一个相对拦截角。通过与只考虑两防御器协同的隐式协同制导律进行比较,可发现显式的协同制导律在控制要求和能量消耗上,要优于隐式的协同制导律。此外,还验证了在不同发射条件下的协同制导律的稳定性。     

Integrated cooperative guidance framework and cooperative guidance law for multi-missile

An integrated cooperative guidance framework for multi-missile cooperatively attacking a single stationary target is proposed in this paper by combining both the centralized and decentralized communication topologies. Once missiles are distributed into several groups, missiles within a single group communicate with the centralized leader-follower framework, while the leaders from different groups communicate using the nearest-neighbor topology. To implement the integrated cooperative guidance framework, a group of Finite-Time Cooperative Guidance (FTCG) laws considering the saturation constraint on FOV (FTCG-FOV) are firstly derived within the centralized leader-follower framework to satisfy the communication topology of missiles in a single group. Then, an improved sequential approach is developed to adapt the FTCG-FOV to satisfy the communication topology between groups. The numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and high efficiency of the integrated cooperative guidance framework and the cooperative guidance laws, as well as the superiority of the developed sequential approach.

The main target application of this technique, the missile interceptor guidance-control system against targets performing evasive maneuvers, is considered to demonstrate benefits of this design for a two-loop integration of guidance and flight control systems. The designed guidance-control system performance is verified via computer simulations using a miniature hypervelocity kinetic energy endo-atmospheric interceptor planar model.     

Indirect Radau pseudospectral method for the receding horizon control problem

To solve the receding horizon control (RHC) problem in an online manner, a novel numerical method called the indirect Radau pseudospectral method (IRPM) is proposed in this paper. Based on calculus of variations and the first-order necessary optimality condition, the RHC problem for linear time-varying (LTV) system is transformed into the two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP). The Radau pseudospectral approximation is employed to discretize the TPBVP into well-posed linear algebraic equations. The resulting linear algebraic equations are solved via a matrix partitioning approach afterwards to obtain the optimal feedback control law. For the nonlinear system, the linearization method or the quasi linearization method is employed to approximate the RHC problem with successive linear approximations. Subsequently, each linear problem is solved via the similar method which is used to solve the RHC problem for LTV system. Simulation results of three examples show that the IRPM is of high accuracy and of high compu-tation efficiency to solve the RHC problem and the stability of closed-loop systems is guaranteed.

An analysis of modern versus classical homing guidance

Three terminal guidance laws incorporated in a generic interceptor are compared: first- and second-order modern guidance laws (MGLs), that are matched to the second-order autopilot of the interceptor, and proportional navigation (PN). The sensitivity of miss distance (MD) between the interceptor and a target to autopilot time constant, damping ratio, and update rate is shown. For the chosen interceptor-target scenario, the second-order MGL achieves significantly improved MD over the other two guidance laws
