Fully distributed time-varying formation tracking control for multiple quadrotor vehicles via finite-time convergent extended state observer

This paper investigates a time-varying anti-disturbance formation problem for a group of quadrotor aircrafts with time-varying uncertainties and a directed interaction topology. A novel Finite-Time Convergent Extended State Observer (FTCESO) based fully-distributed formation control scheme is proposed to enhance the disturbance rejection and the formation tracking performances for networked quadrotors. By adopting the hierarchical control strategy, the multi-quadrotor system is separated into two subsystems: the outer-loop cooperative subsystem and the inner-loop attitude subsystem. In the outer-loop subsystem, with the estimation of disturbing forces and uncertain dynamics from FTCESOs, an adaptive consensus theory based cooperative controller is exploited to ensure the multiple quadrotors form and maintain a time-varying pattern relying only on the positions of the neighboring aircrafts. In the inner-loop subsystem, the desired attitude generated by the cooperative control law is stably tracked under a FTCESO-based attitude controller in a finite time. Based on a detailed algorithm to specify the cooperative control protocol, the feasibility condition to achieve the time-varying anti-disturbance formation tracking is derived and the rigorous analysis of the whole closed-loop multi-quadrotor system is given. Some numerical examples are conducted to intuitively demonstrate the effectiveness and the improvements of the proposed control framework.     

Implementation of tactical maneuvers with maneuver libraries

This study creates and combines the general maneuver libraries for fixed-wing aircraft to implement tactical maneuvers. First, the generalized maneuver libraries are established by analyzing the characteristics of tactical maneuvers required in battlefields. The 7th order polynomial is applied to both the creation of the maneuver libraries and the generation of the trajectories or flight paths for modal inputs. To track the desired trajectory, we design the Attitude Command Attitude Hold (ACAH) system and the Rate Command Rate Hold (RCRH) system using Model Following Controller (MFC). Moreover, the Line-of-Sight (LOS) guidance law is designed. In particular, the CONDUIT® is employed to optimize the gains so that the control systems meet the aircraft Handling Qualities (HQ) criteria. Finally, flight simulations are performed for the longitudinal loop, immelmann-turn, and climb-slalom-descent maneuvers to verify that tactical aggressive maneuvers are realizable via the combination of maneuver libraries. This study can contribute to the development of flight techniques for aircraft tactical maneuvers and to the revision of air force operational manuals.     

弹道导弹中段机动突防研究

针对弹道导弹中段机动突防问题，在瞬时冲量假设下从理论上研究了速度增量大小、方向和机动时刻对零控脱靶量和落点偏差的影响。研究表明：速度增量大小和机动时刻给定时，零控脱靶量随速度增量方向不同存在极小值和极大值，速度增量方向垂直于视线方向时零控脱靶量接近最大，且最大值近似为待飞时间和速度增量大小的乘积；速度增量大小和机动时刻给定时，落点偏差随速度增量方向的不同存在极小值和极大值，极值点对应的速度增量方向可通过解析方法求解，落点偏差极大值与速度增量大小成正比，且机动时刻越晚，落点偏差极大值越小。该研究可为突防方案设计提供理论基础。     

基于箭体系的最佳解耦姿态控制方法

提出运载火箭姿态控制的一种最佳解耦控制方法。传统的运载火箭姿态控制，是通过对火箭在制导坐标系（发射惯性坐标系）中定义的欧拉角，形成俯仰、偏航、滚动三个独立回路的姿态控制指令，控制弹体姿态稳定、快速地跟踪指令姿态角。由于控制力矩是分别绕箭体轴给出的，而箭体轴通常与欧拉角的瞬时转轴不重合，所以造成三个控制回路的耦合（只有当偏航、滚动姿态角皆为零时才完全解耦），因此欧拉角控制的解耦问题成为许多学者的研究课题，并给出了一些解耦控制方法，但都比较复杂，实现困难。本文提出的最佳解耦控制方法是基于箭体坐标系的，该方法是根据实时确定的箭体系到指令箭体系的方向余弦矩阵，确定一组箭体系分别绕各轴的转角△θx1，△θy1,△θz1，即箭体各轴同时转动角△θx1，△θy1,△θz1，后可使箭体系与指令箭体系重合，这样便保证了解耦和最小转角的最佳控制。该方法成功地应用于大范围机动变轨控制，也将适用于其它轴对称飞行器的控制。

Simultaneous state and actuator fault estimation for satellite attitude control systems

In this paper, a new nonlinear augmented observer is proposed and applied to satellite attitude control systems. The observer can estimate system state and actuator fault simultaneously. It can enhance the performances of rapidly-varying faults estimation. Only original system matrices are adopted in the parameter design. The considered faults can be unbounded, and the proposed augmented observer can estimate a large class of faults. Systems without disturbances and the fault whose finite times derivatives are zero piecewise are initially considered, followed by a discussion of a general situation where the system is subject to disturbances and the finite times derivatives of the faults are not null but bounded. For the considered nonlinear system, convergence conditions of the observer are provided and the stability analysis is performed using Lyapunov direct method. Then a feasible algorithm is explored to compute the observer parameters using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by considering an example of a closed-loop satellite attitude control system. The simulation results show satisfactory perfor-mance in estimating states and actuator faults. It also shows that multiple faults can be estimated successfully.
