We summarize the guidance and control techniques of automatic carrier landing for carrier-based aircraft.First,we analyze the carrier landing operations of the manned fixed-wing aircraft,unmanned fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.Second,we look into the navigation and guidance system and the flight control methods for current different aircraft.Finally,we draw several conclusions of the development prospects for aircraft carrier landing,including the precision landing control techniques,precision approach and landing guidance techniques,and adaptive,reconfigurable and intelligent flight control techniques.
The mathematical model of quadcopter-unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)is derived by using two approaches:One is the Newton-Euler approach which is formulated using classical mechanics;and other is the Euler-Lagrange approach which describes the model in terms of kinetic(translational and rotational)and potential energy.The proposed quadcopter′s non-linear model is incorporated with aero-dynamical forces generated by air resistance,which helps aircraft to exhibits more realistic behavior while hovering.Based on the obtained model,the suitable control strategy is developed,under which two effective flight control systems are developed.Each control system is created by cascading the proportional-derivative(PD)and T-S fuzzy controllers that are equipped with six and twelve feedback signals individually respectively to ensure better tracking,stabilization,and response.Both proposed flight control designs are then implemented with the quadcopter model respectively and multitudinous simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to analyze the tracking performance of the quadcopter model at various reference inputs and trajectories.
In this paper,a predictive sliding mode control method based on multi-sensor fusion is proposed to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy in trajectory tracking caused by actuator delay.The controller,based on the kinematics model,uses an inner and outer two-layer structure to achieve decoupling of position control and heading control.A reference positional change rate is introduced into the design of controller,making the automatic guided vehicle(AGV)capable of real-time predictive control ability.A stability analysis and a proof of predictive sliding mode control theory are provided.The experimental results show that the new control algorithm can improve the performance of the AGV controller by referring to the positional change rate,thereby improving the AGV operation without derailing.
Carrier-based aircraft carrier landing is a special kind of tracking control problem and not suitable for classical control methods,which may miss the desired performance or result in overdesign.Therefore,we present an optimal preview control for automatic carrier landing system(ACLS)by using state information of system,as well as future reference information,which can avoid the shortcomings of classical control methods.Since the flight performance of carrier-based aircraft is disturbed by air wake when the aircraft flies near the area of carrier stern,we design a disturbance rejection strategy to ensure that aircraft track the glide path with high precision and robustness.Further,carrier-based aircraft is a complex nonlinear system.However,the nonlinear model of carrier-based aircraft can be linearized at equilibrium landing state and decoupled into the longitudinal model and the lateral model.Therefore,an optimal preview control system is designed.The simulation results of a carrier-based aircraft show that the optimal preview control system can effectively suppress air wake.Tracking accuracy of optimal preview controller is higher than that of the proportional integral differential(PID)control system.
