Nonlinear guidance law combined with a pseudo pursuit guidance is proposed, to perform stationary target observation mission. Multiple UAVs are considered, with waypoint constraint. The whole guidance is divided into two steps: firstly, waypoint approach, with specified incidence angle; and secondly, loitering around the stationary target. Geometric approach is used to consider the constraint on the waypoint, and a specified phase angle between the loitering UAV and the approaching UAV. In the waypoint approach step, UAVs fly to the waypoint using the pseudo pursuit guidance law. After passing the waypoint, UAVs turn around the target, using a distance error dynamics-based guidance law. Numerical simulations are performed, to verify the performance of the proposed guidance law.

Waypoint guidance is a technique used to steer an autonomous vehicle along a desired trajectory. In this paper, a waypoint guidance algorithm for horizontal plane is derived by combining a line following guidance law and a turning guidance law. The line following guidance is derived based on LQR while the turning guidance is designed using rendzvous problem. Through simulation, the proposed method shows a good performance.

This paper deals with the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) Technique for the design of rotorcraft waypoint guidance. To generate the flight trajectory through multiple waypoints, we use the trigonometric spline. The controller design and its validation is based upon a level 2 simulation rotorcraft model and the designed SDRE controller is applied to the trajectory tracking problems. To verify the designed guidance law, the simulation environment of high fidelity rotorcraft model is developed using three independent PCs. This paper focuses on the validation of rotorcraft waypoint guidance law which is designed by using SDRE Controller.

In this paper, planar waypoint guidance synthesis for UAVs using the LQ optimal impact-angle-control guidance law is proposed. We prove that the energy-optimal control problem with the constraint of passing through the waypoints is equivalent to the problem of finding the optimal pass angles on each waypoint of the optimal impact-angle-control law. The optimal pass angles can be obtained as a numerical solution of the simple pass angle optimization problem that requires neither input parameterization nor constraints. The trajectory obtained by applying the optimal impact-angle-control law with these optimal pass angles becomes energy optimal.

본 논문에서는 수중에서 운동하는 무인잠수정의 경로점 유도법칙을 제안한다. 시선각 유도법칙과 수선경로 오차를 줄여가는 경로추종 유도법칙을 조합하여 효과적인 경로점 유도법칙을 설계하였고, 수선경로 오차의 거리에 따라 제어이득을 변화시켜 시스템의 안정성을 증가시켰다. 또한, 관성항법장치와 도플러속도계를 이용한 복합항법 시스템의 성능을 확인할 수 있는 HILS를 구성하였다. 같은 경로점 및 목표점을 입력 후 HILS 수행결과와 실해역 주행시험 결과를 비교하여, 제안한 유도법칙 및 HILS가 올바르게 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with an autonomous flight guidance and control algorithm design for TR301 tilt-rotor airplane under development by Korea Aerospace Research Institute for simulation purpose. The objective of this study is to design autonomous flight algorithm in which the tilt-rotor airplane should follow the given waypoints precisely. The approach to this objective in this study is that, first of all, model-based inversion is applied to the highly nonlinear tilt-rotor dynamics, where the tilt-rotor airplane is assumed to fly at helicopter flight mode(nacelle angle=0 deg), and then the control algorithm, based on classical control, is designed to satisfy overall system stabilization and precise waypoint following performance. Especially, model uncertainties due to the tiltrotor model itself and inversion process are adaptively compensated in a simple neural network(Sigma-Phi NN) for performance robustness. The designed algorithm is evaluated in the tilt-rotor nonlinear airplane in helicopter flight mode to analyze the following performance for given waypoints. The simulation results show that the waypoint following responses for this algorithm are satisfactory, and control input responses are within control limits without saturation.

항공기는 저고도에서 임무를 수행할 때, 대공 미사일과 지형 장애물 같은 다양한 위협들에 제약을 받는다. 특히, 항공기는 지면 근처에서 항상 지형과의 충돌 위험을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제에 효과적으로 대비하기 위하여, 지형 회피가 고려된 비행경로 생성 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 비행경로 생성 알고리듬에서는 먼저 등고선의 그룹화를 통해 경로점을 생성하고, Dijkstra 알고리듬을 이용하여 적절한 경로점 조합을 구성한다. 구성된 경로점 조합에 대해서는 최적제어 이론을 기반으로 한 최적 경로점 유도법칙을 적용하여, 제어에너지를 최소로 하는 최적의 비행경로를 제시한다.

Basically the dynamics of the fixed-wing aircraft is based on the airspeed which is relative to the wind, but when it comes to the track guidance and control, ground speed is the factor to be considered. Especially in the case of low-speed fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles the difference between the airspeed and the ground speed is significant depending on wind conditions, so that the heading control and the course control have to be designed separately. This paper represents the course control method using the pre-designed heading control gains which meet the desired characteristics. Also, waypoint guidance and control algorithms are suggested applying this control method. Finally the robustness of the proposed method is confirmed by 6-DoF nonlinear simulation.
