Integrated 3-D flight trajectory tracking control with aerodynamic constraints on attitude and control surfaces. (English) Zbl 1407.93296

Summary: In this paper, a new 3-D trajectory tracking problem for an uncertain high fidelity 6-Degree-Of-Freedom (6-DOF) aerodynamic system is considered. Instead of designing controllers for each subsystem separately, an integrated trajectory tracking control algorithm is proposed to exploit beneficial relationships among interacting subsystems. The high-order aerodynamic model is first transformed into a quasi-strict-feedback form. Then, backstepping technique is utilized to resolve the coupling effect problem of three control channels resulting from the Bank-To-Turn (BTT) control mode. In addition, command filters are introduced to handle state and actuator constraints caused by the physical limitations and the coordinated turn requirement. Furthermore, the uncertain aerodynamic force and moment coefficients are reconstructed by using the B-spline neural network approximation and adaptive learning approaches. With Lyapunov stability analysis, all the states in the closed-loop system are shown to be Semi-globally Uniformly Ultimately Bounded (SUUB), and the tracking errors will asymptotically converge into a small compact set around zero by properly adjusting the control parameters. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
