Designing a predictive guidance and control system  for maneuverable ground moving target tracking in 3D space using a Hexarotor

A novel asymptotic tracking controller for an underactuated quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed to solve a moving target tracking problem. Firstly, the control system is decoupled into the position control system and the attitude control system. Secondly, a method combined artificial potential field with passivity control (APF&PC) is introduced for the positioning system to achieve high-precision tracking of moving target at a fixed distance. Thirdly, a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) method with an improved reaching law for the attitude system is applied to ensure that the attitude converges to the desired value. Furthermore, the stabilities of two subsystems are proved, and sufficient stability conditions are derived based on the passive method and Lyapunov method, respectively. Finally, simulation results of the moving target tracking verify the superiority and robustness of the proposed control method in the presence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances.

This work reviews the innovative and progressive methods of determination and analysis of safety objectives using Vilnius A-SMGCS example. The aim of the analysis is to determine how failures in this system could affect flight safety in Vilnius aerodrome. Identified safety objectives will limit the frequency of occurrence of hazards enough for the associated risk to be acceptable, and will ensure that appropriate mitigation means are reflected subsequently as Safety Requirements for the system. Analysis reflects aspects of A-SMGCS Safety objectives, which should be taken into consideration. Santrauka Darbe apžvelgiami progresyvūs saugos tikslų analizės metodai pagal Vilniaus aerodromo automatizuotos antžeminio eismo stebėjimo ir kontrolės sistemos veiklos pavyzdį. Analizuojama, kaip šios sistemos sutrikimai gali paveikti skrydžių saugą Vilniaus aerodrome. Remiantis galimų pavojų skrydžių saugai analize, tyrime nustatyti saugos tikslai, pagal kuriuos vėliau bus numatomos riziką mažinančios priemonės (galimų pavojų neutralizavimui ar kylančios rizikos sumažinimui iki priimtino lygio). Straipsnyje pateikiami veiksniai, kuriuos reikėtų įvertinti nustatant aerodromo automatizuotos antžeminio eismo stebėjimo ir kontrolės sistemos saugos tikslus.
