Aiming at the problem that the online trajectory planning of high-speed unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) in the ascending phase needs to realize online fast solution under multiple constraints, firstly, the motion and dynamics model of the vehicle was built, and the constraints faced by the trajectory planning were given. According to the constraints and flight characteristics, the action state space and reward evaluation function that meet the mission requirements were designed based on the near end strategy optimization(PPO) strategy gradient optimization. Secondly, based on the characteristics of strong time memory of the trajectory planning in the ascending phase of the aircraft, the short and long term memory network(LSTM) network structure was introduced on the basis of the traditional PPO algorithm, and the PPO-LSTM algorithm was used to solve the online trajectory planning problem in the ascending phase of the high-speed aircraft, and the model that can plan the optimal angle of attack strategy in real time according to the aircraft state was trained. Finally, the performance of the algorithm was verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that the root-mean-square error of the terminal state of the algorithm in this paper is reduced by about 50% compared with the traditional PPO and particle swarm optimization,which fully proves the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
[Objective] The hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) has become an important technical means in the UAV field because of its excellent lift-drag characteristics and endurance. The endurance of an UAV can be improved mainly by obtaining good lift and drag characteristics and reducing its weight. Using a modular UAV as the research object, this paper established a hybrid UAV configuration concept, mainly considering the stress change rule and the maximum fatigue life of the monomer UAV under aerodynamic force, and its lightweight design goals under the fatigue life and the maximum stress constraint. [Methods] This paper conducted research on lightweight design mainly in three ways: 1) According to the hybrid UAV concept, an overall configuration of “main body + monomer” is proposed and the full-text research object is provided. The monomer UAV is an important task-combined UAV unit, so the mechanical properties of every single part and the overall topology structure are emphasized. 2) In the incompressible unsteady three-dimensional continuous equation and Navier-Stokes(N-S) equation, momentum analysis is carried out on the aerodynamic characteristics of a single wing UAV in a full working environment, the regional flight parameters are clarified, and the maximum aerodynamic force is selected as the ultimate load, in the form of loading a sine function into the single wing. The monomer stress distribution of the maximum stress region of the wing-body is extracted. Combined with Fe-safe numerical analysis software, fatigue life analysis is performed, and improvements are proposed for sensitive areas. Based on the service life guarantee and the solid isotropic microstructure with the penalization(SIMP) method, a topological optimization analysis of a single wing, load-bearing frame is performed. 3) A monomer wing finite element model is established to verify the correctness of the topology optimization model. For a single wing, all the structural analyses of the static and dynamic analysis results verify the correctness of the above theoretical analysis. At the same time, in the topology analysis link, because each tolerance beam differs in weight, analysis was performed for each beam. [Results] In this paper, based on the classic SIMP topology optimization method, the topological calculation and analysis of the single wing’s front beam, middle beam, rear beam, and middle rib show that the weight of each beam is reduced by 5%, 10%, 5%, and 15%, respectively, under the premise of invariable mechanical distribution. After obtaining the analysis results, the weight of the entire wing is reduced by 35%. an innovative topology optimization process is adopted to analyze the fatigue life of key parts before the wing is joined, ensuring the process optimization of the wing and the service life of key parts. The proposed method integrates key position optimization, topology optimization, and fatigue life analysis, avoiding separate post-assembly fatigue analysis of key positions, optimizing the whole analysis process, and improving the work efficiency of lightweight analysis. [Conclusions] The wing topology optimization method under the fatigue life constraint proposed in this paper reduces the weight of a single UAV by 35% under the condition of constant force and improves the efficiency of wing lightweight analysis. The new analysis method provides technical support for subsequent UAV optimization analysis.
This article proposes a novel 3-D sliding mode interception guidance law for maneuvering targets, which explores the potential of reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to enhance guidance accuracy and reduce chattering. The guidance problem of intercepting maneuvering targets is abstracted into a Markov decision process whose reward function is established to estimate the off-target amount and line-of-sight angular rate chattering. Importantly, a design framework of reward function suitable for general guidance problems based on RL can be proposed. Then, the proximal policy optimization algorithm with a satisfactory training performance is introduced to learn an action policy which represents the observed engagements states to sliding mode interception guidance. Finally, numerical simulations and comparisons are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law.

In this paper, constraints of actuator amplitude and rate are taken into consideration for near-space vehicle (NSV). Based on the second order actuator dynamic model and the dynamic of NSV, the control model for NSV with actuator dynamic is presented. Thus, the constraint on actuator amplitude and rate are translated into states constraints. By utilizing the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) handle state constraints, a novel control scheme based on dynamic surface control is constructed for NSV with actuator amplitude and rate saturation. The stability analysis illustrate that the closed-loop system is stable, and the actuator amplitude and rate never violate the constraints. Nonlinear simulation is presented to demonstrate the performance of the control scheme.
Aiming at the problem of poor trajectory adaptability, low guidance accuracy and not suitable for the airbrake failure in the traditional terminal area energy management (TAEM) algorithm, an intelligent online planning scheme for TAEM 3-DOF trajectory is proposed. Firstly, a 3-DOF trajectory defined by three parameters is designed according to the constraints of the aircraft; Secondly, a strategy of TAEM trajectory online planning is proposed, which uses the idea of predictor-corrector and takes the velocity deviation as the feedback to iterate the three parameters of trajectory online. Finally, a scheme of online aerodynamic parameter intelligent identification is designed by using the advantages of RBF neural network, such as strong generalization ability, fast learning convergence speed and high accuracy. Combined with the above trajectory online planning algorithm, the comprehensive management of aircraft altitude and velocity is realized under the condition of strong uncertainty and airbrake failure, and the robustness and adaptability of the trajectory are enhanced. Under the PD guidance law, the simulation results show the feasibility, rapidity, and strong adaptability of online intelligent trajectory planning algorithm.

It uses multiple quality variables to detect product quality at the same time. And the results, obtained via MIPCR, are fused. Then screening the variables via the fault performance is done. Simulations for Tennessee Eastman process (TEP) are presented with PCR, IPCR and MIPCR. Via the simulations, the validity and superiority of MIPCR are all verified.
The numerical predictor-corrector re-entry guidance algorithm is proposed for aerospace vehicles(ASV). Firstly, over the spherical rotating Earth, the three degree of freedom dynamical model of ASV is established in the launch coordinate system and the trajectory constraints are analyzed for the re-entry phase. Then, the predictor-corrector entry guidance algorithm numerically computes a complete entry trajectory onboard repeatedly based on the current state and required targeting condition, and the required bank angle command can be computed by the selected iterative algorithm to achieve the guidance accuracy. Simultaneously, a bank reversal logic is given by online prediction of the cross-range for the lateral guidance. Moreover, in order to avoid the numerical divergency problem at the end of re-entry phase due to the range-to-go tends to zero, the total re-entry range is used to replace the range-to-go in the corrector algorithm, particularly the adaptive iterative algorithm is employed to guarantee the convergence and accuracy of the predictor-corrector guidance algorithm. Finally, numerical simulations have been carried out to test the validity of the proposed entry guidance algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the re-entry guidance works well and has a good performance.
As various faults are inevitable during a satellite’s on-orbit operation, a modified intermittent process performance monitoring method is proposed. This performance monitoring of a satellite is performed via attitude information. This method not only overcomes the defects of the traditional intermittent process methods of requiring a priori knowledge and the difficulty in handling points on adjacent edges but also reduces the defects, such as omissions and false positives caused by the process modeling. This method combines the multiphase auto regression principal component analysis monitoring method based on affine propagation clustering (APC) optimized, and at the meanwhile, the population diversity-based particle swarm optimization algorithm is considered in APC. Numerical simulations proved the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The Lyapunov stability analysis shows that the closed-loop attitude system is guaranteed to be almost asymptotically stable. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the derived control law.
