This paper investigates the finite time simultaneous attack problem for a maneuvering target with unknown acceleration when the multiple attackers move slower than the target at the initial stage under a communication network having a spanning tree. Attackers can reach agreement before the precise strike when the upper bound on time to consensus is calculated beforehand. The unknown acceleration of the target can be estimated by a disturbance observer, and a cooperation protocol is designed to decrease chattering. Numerical simulations with comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed method.

This paper designs new guidance laws for the simultaneous multi-agent interception of a maneuvering target with unknown acceleration. The new approach achieves additional benefits as follows. (1) The completely distributed cooperation protocol ensures that the simultaneous attack task can be completed. (2) The disturbance observer and the adaptive control law can solve the coordinated attack problem with an unknown target acceleration. (3) The design of the guidance law requires only neighbor-derived information rather than global information, which increases the practicability of the new strategy. Numerical simulations with comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

In the absence of the upper bound of time-varying target acceleration, the finite-time-convergent guidance (FTCG) problem for missile is addressed in this paper. Firstly, a novel adaptive finite-time disturbance observer (AFDO) is developed based on adaptive-gain super twisting (ASTW) algorithm to estimate the unknown target acceleration. Subsequently, a new FTCG law is proposed by using the output of AFDO. The newly proposed FTCG law has several advantages over existing FTCG laws. First, for time-varying target acceleration, the proposed method can strictly guarantee the trajectory of the closed-loop system is driven onto the sliding surface rather than a neighbourhood of sliding surface in the extended-state-observer-based FTCG (ESOFTCG) law. Second, the proposed method requires no upper bound information on the target acceleration. Third, the chattering problem in the conventional FTCG (CFTCG) law is completely avoided in this paper. Simulation result demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed AFDO and the proposed FTCG law.

This paper studies the fixed-time disturbance estimate and tracking control for two-link manipulators subjected to external disturbance. A fixed-time extended-state disturbance observer (FxTESDO) is proposed by improving the extended state observer. Also, a fixed-time inverse dynamics tracking control (FxTIDTC) scheme based on the FxTESDO is given for two-link manipulators. The fixed-time convergence of the FxTESDO and FxTIDTC is proved by the Lyapunov stability theory and with the aid of the bi-limit homogeneous technique. Numerical simulations are employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed FxTIDTC.

Space manipulator is considered as one of the most promising technologies for future space activities owing to its important role in various on-orbit serving missions. In this study, a robust finite-time tracking control method is proposed for the rapid and accurate trajectory tracking control of an attitude-controlled free-flying space manipulator in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. First, a baseline finite-time tracking controller is designed to track the desired position of the space manipulator based on the homogeneous method. Then, a finite-time disturbance observer is designed to accurately estimate the lumped uncertainties. Finally, a robust finite-time tracking controller is developed by integrating the baseline finite-time tracking controller with the finite-time disturbance observer. Rigorous theoretical analysis for the global finite-time stability of the whole closed-loop system is provided. The proposed robust finite-time tracking controller has a relatively simple structure and can guarantee the position and velocity tracking errors converge to zero in finite time even subject to lumped uncertainties. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are really limited existing controllers can achieve such excellent performance under the same conditions. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method.
