Variable structure multiple model fixed-interval smoothing

This paper focuses on fixed-interval smoothing for stochastic hybrid systems. When the truth-mode mismatch is encountered, existing smoothing methods based on fixed structure of model-set have significant performance degradation and are inapplicable. We develop a fixed-interval smoothing method based on forward- and backward-filtering in the Variable Structure Multiple Model (VSMM) framework in this paper. We propose to use the Simplified Equivalent model Interacting Multiple Model (SEIMM) in the forward and the backward filters to handle the difficulty of different mode-sets used in both filters, and design a re-filtering procedure in the model-switching stage to enhance the estimation performance. To improve the computational efficiency, we make the basic model-set adaptive by the Likely-Model Set (LMS) algorithm. It turns out that the smoothing performance is further improved by the LMS due to less competition among models. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the better performance and the computational efficiency of our proposed smoothing algorithms.     

规则波浪对水下航行体出水姿态参数的影响

基于边界元方法建立了水下航行体出水姿态计算模型，包括各控制方程及边界条件，采用截平面方法对航行体出水模型进行了简化处理，并将所得结果和实验数据进行比对，发现二者符合良好，验证了数值模型的有效性。运用边界元法研究了规则波浪参数（波高、浪向、周期、相位）对出水姿态的影响。研究结果表明，波高影响波浪力幅值大小，对出水姿态参数有着直接的影响，波高越大对出水姿态参数的影响越大；浪向、初相位和周期主要影响流体质点的运动方向，改变波浪附加惯性力，影响波浪力对出水姿态参数的作用效果；受到出水相位的影响，出水俯仰角和俯仰角速度呈余弦变化规律；随着周期的增大，周期对航行体出水姿态参数的影响逐渐减小，此时，相同波高下出水姿态参数只受到出水相位的影响。     

无人机载MiniSAR实时成像处理GPU异步优化

合成孔径雷达(SAR)以其全天候、全天时的工作特性及其分辨率不随平台高度变化的成像特性，已成为航天遥感、目标检测领域重要的传感器之一。SAR算法复杂度往往与成像分辨率呈正相关，其中计算量问题成为雷达成像实时性的一大挑战。无人机载MiniSAR具有小型化、低功耗、灵活性强和隐蔽性强等优点，其小型化使设备计算能力受限，加剧了复杂度与分辨率之间的矛盾。图形处理单元(GPU)和多线程技术发展迅速，为无人机载MiniSAR实时成像提供了平台。本文根据实时处理机数据流和GPU异构系统的特点，提出了一种GPU异步优化方案，该方案可明显提高中央处理单元(CPU)与GPU之间的并行工作效率，节约大部分的数据存取开销。实验结果证明:GPU的成像效率是单CPU系统的12倍左右，在此基础上，使用GPU异步优化方案后效率可继续提升15%左右。本文提出的设计思路可显著缓解无人机载MiniSAR的实时成像计算压力。     

Robust spline-line energy management guidance algorithm with multiple constraints and uncertainties for solid rocket ascending

For the solid rocket with depletion shutdown system, effective energy management is significant to meet terminal constraints by exhausting excess energy. Several traditional energy management algorithms cannot satisfy the altitude constraint and path constraints are not sufficiently considered. The velocity adjustment capability of these algorithms is limited and the uncertainties are not considered.

Periodic event-triggered formation control for multi-UAV systems with collision avoidance

In this paper, periodic event-triggered formation control problems with collision avoidance are studied for leader–follower multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Firstly, based on the Artificial Potential Field (APF) method, a novel sliding manifold is proposed for controller design, which can solve the problem of collision avoidance. Then, the event-triggered strategy is applied to the distributed formation control of multi-UAV systems, where the evaluation of the event condition is continuous. In addition, the exclusion of Zeno behavior can be guaranteed by the inter-event time between two successive trigger events have a positive lower bound. Next, a periodic event-triggered mechanism is developed for formation control based on the continuous event-triggered mechanism. The periodic trigger mechanism does not need additional hardware circuits and sophisticated sensors, which can reduce the control cost. The stability of the control system is proved by the Lyapunov function method. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control protocol.     

Improving aircraft aerodynamic performance with bionic wing obtained by ice shape modulation

For Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with limited electrical power to achieve effectively anti-/de-icing at the leading edge of the wing, a strategy of ice shape modulation was proposed. Isolated simulated ice shape pieces printed by 3D printing technology are mounted on a NACA0012 finite wing model, and its lift/drag coefficients and suction-side velocity fields are measured by the six-component force balance and the Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV), respectively. The ratio of the spanwise length of a single ice shape piece to chord length and the spanwise length of the non-icing area between the two adjacent single ice shape pieces are defined as dimensionless ice shape length (w/c) and dimensionless modulation ratio (w/λ), respectively. The results indicate that for a fixed w/λ, the wing lift coefficient first increases and then drops with increasing w/c, and a peak value exists when w/c is between 0.1 and 0.2. The lower the w/λ is, the higher the wing lift coefficient will be. The periodical variation of the flow separation area along the spanwise direction is attributed on the one hand to the acceleration effect of the flow field in the non-icing area which reduces the separation area, and on the other hand to the cross-flow caused by the streamwise vortices from the non-icing area to the icing area which promotes the mixing of the flow field (similar to vortex generators). The obtained modulation law is verified through flight tests and provides guidance for the use of ice shape modulation scheme for UAVs that cannot be completely anti-/de-icing under severe weather conditions.

Ergodic sum rate for uplink NOMA transmission in satellite-aerial-ground integrated networks

The application of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology into satellite-aerial-ground integrated networks can meet the requirements of ultra-high rate and massive connectivity for the Sixth-Generation (6G) communication systems. We consider an uplink NOMA scenario for such a satellite-aerial-ground integrated network where multiple users communicate with satellite under the help of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as an aerial relay equipped with a phased array. Supposing that buffer-aided decode-and-forward protocol is adopted at the UAV relay, we first formulate an optimization problem to maximize Ergodic Sum Rate (ESR) of the considered system subject to individual power constraint and quality-of-service constraint of each user. Then, with known imperfect channel state information of each user, we propose a joint power allocation and robust Beam Forming (BF) iterative algorithm to maximize ESR for the user-to-UAV link. Besides, to take the advantages of Free-Space Optical (FSO) and millimeter Wave (mmWave) communications, we present a switch-based hybrid FSO/mmWave scheme and a robust BF algorithm for the UAV-to-satellite link to achieve higher rate. Moreover, a closed-form ESR expression is derived. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed solutions are verified by numerical simulations, and the performance evaluation results show that the proposed solutions not only achieve performance enhancement and robustness, but also outperform the orthogonal multiple access significantly.
