Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode

Aiming at the problem of missile attacking ground target in pitch plane, combined with a composite fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode, a new adaptive finite-time stable guidance law with attack angle constraint is designed based on the second-order sliding mode control. The improved extended state observer is used to estimate the uncertainties and compensate the control quantity, and the dynamic control gains are designed to avoid the problem about “excessive estimation” of the parameter upper limit. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the system states can converge into a small neighborhood near the equilibrium point in a finite time. Monte Carlo simulation is carried out by randomly generating initial conditions, which proves that the guidance law has strong adaptability to different initial conditions and has good guidance precision.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a sliding mode attitude controller for reusable launch vehicle (RLV) which is nonlinear, coupling, and includes uncertain parameters and external disturbances. Design/methodology/approach – A smooth second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) controller is proposed for RLV in reentry phase. First, a NTSM manifold is proposed for finite-time convergence. Then a smooth second sliding mode controller is designed to establish the sliding mode. An observer is utilized to estimate the lumped disturbance and the estimation result is used for feedforward compensation in the controller. Findings – It is mathematically proved that the proposed sliding mode technique makes the attitude tracking errors converge to zero in finite time and the convergence time is estimated. Simulations are made for RLV through the assumption that aerodynamic parameters and atmospheric density are perturbed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy is effective, leading to promising performance and robustness. Originality/value – By the proposed controller, the second-order sliding mode is established. The attitude tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Meanwhile, the chattering is alleviated and a smooth control input is obtained.

Aiming at the requirement that some missiles need to meet certain impact angles when attacking targets, we consider the second-order dynamic characteristics of autopilot, thereby proposing a second-order sliding mode guidance law with impact angle constraint. Firstly, based on the terminal sliding mode control, we design a fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode guidance law with impact angle constraint. Based on the second-order sliding mode control, a second-order sliding mode guidance law with impact angle constraint is proposed. We have proved its finite time convergence characteristics and presented the specific convergence time expression. Subsequently, the dynamic characteristics of the autopilot are approximated to the second-order link. Combined with the dynamic surface control theory, we proposed a second-order sliding mode guidance law considering the second-order dynamic characteristics of the autopilot and proved its finite-time convergence characteristics. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law are verified by comparative simulation experiments.

Given the resolution of the guidance for intercepting highly maneuvering targets, a novel finite-time convergent guidance law is proposed, which takes the following conditions into consideration, including the impact angle constraint, the guidance command input saturation constraint, and the autopilot second-order dynamic characteristics. Firstly, based on the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control theory, a finite-time convergent nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface is designed. On the back of the backstepping control method, the virtual control law appears. A nonlinear first-order filter is constructed so as to address the “differential expansion” problem in traditional backstepping control. By designing an adaptive auxiliary system, the guidance command input saturation problem is dealt with. The RBF neural network disturbance observer is used for estimating the unknown boundary external disturbances of the guidance system caused by the target acceleration. The parameters of the RBF neural network are adjusted online in real time, for the purpose of improving the estimation accuracy of the RBF neural network disturbance observer and accelerating its convergence characteristics. At the same time, an adaptive law is designed to compensate the estimation error of the RBF neural network disturbance observer. Then, the Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove the finite-time stability of the guidance law. Finally, numerical simulations verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law.

Guidance Laws

This paper documents a novel nonsingular continuous guidance which can drive the line-of-sight (LOS) angular rate to converge to zero in finite time in the presence of impact angle constraints. More specifically, based on the second-order sliding mode control (SMC) theory, a second-order observer (2-OB) is presented to estimate the unknown target maneuvers, while a super twisting algorithm- (STA-) based guidance law is presented to restrict the LOS angle and angular rate. Compared with other terminal sliding mode guidance laws, the proposed guidance law absorbs the merits of the conventional linear sliding mode (LSM) and terminal sliding mode (TSM) and uses switching technique to avoid singularity. In order to verify the stability of the proposed guidance law, a finite-time bounded (FTB) function is invited to prove the boundedness of the proposed observer-controller system and a Lyapunov approach is presented to prove the finite-time convergence (FTC) of the proposed sliding system. Rigorous theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate the mentioned properties.

Guidance Law

In this paper, for the three-dimensional terminal guidance problem of a missile intercepting a manoeuvring target, a robust continuous guidance law with impact angle constraints in the presence of both an acceleration saturation constraint and a second-order-lag autopilot is developed. First, based on non-singular fast terminal sliding mode and adaptive control, a step-by-step backstepping method is used to design the guidance law. In the process of guidance law design, with the use of a finite-time control technique, virtual control laws are developed, a tracking differentiator is used to eliminate the ‘explosion of complexity’ problem inherent in the traditional backstepping method, and an additional system is constructed to deal with the acceleration saturation problem; its states are used for guidance law design and stability analysis. Moreover, the target acceleration is considered bounded disturbance, but the upper bound is not required to be known in advance, whereas the upper bound is estimated online by a designed adaptive law. Next, finite-time stability of the guidance system is strictly proved by using a Lyapunov method. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the excellent guidance performances of the proposed guidance law in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

In this paper, a novel adaptive finite-time control of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is proposed. Based on the immersion and invariance theory, an adaptive finite-time control method for general second-order systems is first derived, using nonsingular terminal sliding mode scheme. Then the method is applied to the control system design of a flexible air-breathing vehicle model, whose dynamics can be decoupled into first-order and second-order subsystems by time-scale separation principle. The main features of this hypersonic vehicle control system lie in the design flexibility of the parameter adaptive laws and the rapid convergence to the equilibrium point. Finally, simulations are conducted, which demonstrate that the control system has the features of fast and accurate tracking to command trajectories and strong robustness to parametric and non-parametric uncertainties.

Low Altitude

To effectively intercept a low-altitude target in clutter background, a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode guidance law is designed. The designed guidance law can fully exploit the fast convergence characteristics of linear sliding mode control and the finite-time-convergent characteristics of terminal sliding mode control to ensure that the line-of-sight (LOS) angle converges to a desired angle in a limited time at a faster rate. Utilizing the smooth switching characteristics of the hyperbolic tangent function similar to the saturation function, a finite-time-convergent differentiator is designed. Meanwhile, a new finite-time-convergent disturbance observer designed on the tracking differentiator can effectively track the ideal LOS angular rate, suppress the measurement noise, and make a smooth estimation of the target maneuvering acceleration in clutter background. Combining the estimated value of the disturbance observer, the sign function with switch coefficient is introduced to design a composite nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode guidance law. The simulation results show that the composite guidance law can not only effectively suppress the measurement noise of the LOS angular rate and improve the accuracy of low-altitude target intercepting, but also greatly reduce the energy consumption in the interception process.

Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode

This study investigates a novel fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller via a finite-time disturbance observer for a class of mismatched uncertain nonlinear systems. For this purpose, a finite-time disturbance observer–based fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding surface is proposed, and the corresponding control law is designed using the Lyapunov stability theory to satisfy the sliding condition in finite time. The proposed fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control based on a finite-time disturbance observer exhibits better control performance; guarantees finite-time convergence, robust stability of the closed-loop system, and mismatched disturbance rejection; and alleviates the chattering problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed fractional-order robust controller is illustrated via simulation results of both the numerical and application examples which are compared with the fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller, sliding mode controller based on a disturbance observer, and integral sliding mode controller methods.
