Considering recurrent optimization process in model predictive control (MPC), the model uncertainties and disturbances terms in the missile’s guidance and control model can degrade recursive feasibility, and there are control mutation problems in common MPC algorithm. This paper presents a disturbance rejection model predictive control algorithm for missile integrated guidance and control (IGC). Firstly, a sliding mode observer (SMDO) is designed to estimate the unknown disturbances caused by target maneuvering. Secondly, the method of optimizing control increment is adopted in MPC to avoid the phenomenon of control mutation in the model calculation. By limiting the control increment in each cycle, it ensures the continuity of the control input. Thirdly, by combining the SMDO and MPC, an IGC algorithm is presented, and the stability of the algorithm is proved by using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation results with different impact angles verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for intercepting maneuver target.

A new integrated guidance and control (IGC) law is investigated for a homing missile with an impact angle against a ground target. Firstly, a control-oriented model with impact angle error of the IGC system in the pitch plane is formulated by linear coordinate transformation according to the motion kinematics and missile dynamics model. Secondly, an IGC law is proposed to satisfy the impact angle constraint and to improve the rapidity of the guidance and control system by combining the sliding mode control method and nonlinear extended disturbance observer technique. Thirdly, stability of the closed-loop guidance and control system is proven based on the Lyapunov stability theory, and the relationship between the accuracy of the impact angle and the estimate errors of nonlinear disturbances is derived from stability of the sliding mode. Finally, simulation results confirm that the proposed IGC law can improve the performance of the missile guidance and control system against a ground target.

In this paper, a model-predictive control (MPC) method is detailed for the control of nonlinear systems with stability considerations. It will be assumed that the plant is described by a local input/output ARX-type model, with the control potentially included in the premise variables, which enables the control of systems that are nonlinear in both the state and control input. Additionally, for the case of set point regulation, a suboptimal controller is derived which has the dual purpose of ensuring stability and enabling finite-iteration termination of the iterative procedure used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem that is used to determine the control signal.

This paper deals with a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme for a winch servo motor to overcome the sudden peak tension in the lifting wire caused by a lumped-mass payload at the beginning of a lifting off or a lowering operation. The crane-wire-payload system is modeled in 3 degrees of freedom with the Newton-Euler approach. Direct multiple shooting and real-time iteration (RTI) scheme are employed to provide feedback control input to the winch servo. Simulations are implemented with MATLAB and CaSADi toolkit. By well tuning the weighting matrices, the NMPC controller can reduce the snatch loads in the lifting wire and the winch loads simultaneously. A comparative study with a PID controller is conducted to verify its performance.

This paper deals with the design of a decentralized guidance and control strategy for a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with the objective of maintaining a given connection topology with assigned mutual distances while flying to a target area. In the absence of obstacles, the assigned topology, based on an extended Delaunay triangulation concept, implements regular and connected formation shapes. In the presence of obstacles, this technique is combined with a model predictive control (MPC) that allows forming independent sub-swarms optimizing the formation spreading to avoid obstacles and collisions between neighboring vehicles. A custom numerical simulator was developed in a Matlab/Simulink environment to prove the effectiveness of the proposed guidance and control scheme in several 2D operational scenarios with obstacles of different sizes and increasing number of aircraft.

This paper focuses on the integrated guidance and control (IGC) method applied in the interception of maneuvering near space hypersonic vehicles using the homogeneous high order sliding mode (HOSM) approach. The IGC model is derived by combining the target-missile relative motion and dynamic equations. Then, a fourth-order sliding mode controller is implemented in the augmented IGC model. To estimate the high order derivatives of the sliding manifold which is required in the HOSM method, an Arbitrary Order Robust Exact Differentiator is presented. At last, the idea of virtual control is introduced to alleviate the chattering of the control input without using any saturation functions which may lead to a loss of the robustness. And the stability of the closed-loop system with presented fourth-order homogeneous HOSM controller is also proved theoretically. Finally, simulation results are provided and analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in three typical engagement scenarios.
