For the nonminimum phase behavior of the air-breathing hypersonic vehicle model caused by elevator-to-lift coupling, a nonlinear adaptive equivalent control method based on interconnection subsystems is proposed. In the altitude loop, the backstepping strategy is applied, where the virtual control inputs about flight-path angle and attack angle are designed step by step. In order to avoid the inaccurately direct cancelation of elevator-to-lift coupling when aerodynamic parameters are uncertain, the real control inputs, that is, elevator deflection and canard deflection, are linearly converted into the equivalent control inputs which are designed independently. The reformulation of the altitude-flight-path angle dynamics and the attack angle-pitch rate dynamics is constructed into interconnection subsystems with input-to-state stability via small-gain theorem. For the velocity loop, the dynamic inversion controller is designed. The adaptive approach is used to identify the uncertain aerodynamic parameters. Simulation of the flexible hypersonic vehicle demonstrates effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractThe rapid development of hypersonic vehicles has motivated the related research dramatically while the evasion of the hypersonic vehicles becomes one of the challenging issues. Different from the work based on the premise that the pursuers’ information is fully known, in this paper the evasion guidance for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (AHVs) against unknown pursuer dynamics is studied. The gradient descent is employed for parameter estimation of the unknown dynamics of the pursuer. The energy-optimized evasion guidance algorithm is further developed by taking the acceleration constraint and energy optimization into consideration. Under the proposed algorithm, the system can deal with the unknown pursuer dynamics effectively and provide more practical guidance for the evasion process. The simulation results show that the proposed method can enable the AHV to achieve successful evasion.

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.

This article investigates a novel fuzzy-approximation-based nonaffine control strategy for a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (FHV). Firstly, the nonaffine models are decomposed into an altitude subsystem and a velocity subsystem, and the nonaffine dynamics of the subsystems are processed by using low-pass filters. For the unknown functions and uncertainties in each subsystem, fuzzy approximators are used to approximate the total uncertainties, and norm estimation approach is introduced to reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm. Aiming at the saturation problem of actuator, a saturation auxiliary system is designed to transform the original control problem with input constraints into a new control problem without input constraints. Finally, the superiority of the proposed method is verified by simulation.
