Adaptive stsmc hierarchical control method for depth tracking oriented to underwater vehicle

This disclosure provides an adaptive STSMC hierarchical control method for depth tracking of an underwater vehicle. The method includes: using an adaptive line-of-sight guidance algorithm to estimate the vehicle's angle of attack in real time and obtain an expected pitch angle; employing a nonlinear interference observer based on a sliding mode surface error to detect unknown interference; and applying an STSMC controller with adaptive saturation compensation to determine the expected control rudder angle from the sliding mode surface error, the expected pitch angle, and the observed interference. The adaptive saturation compensation corrects the rudder angle based on the saturation deviation, which is determined by the previously calculated expected control rudder angle and the actual output rudder angle at the previous moment. By introducing an adaptive saturation compensator in the dynamic control layer, the issue of rudder angle saturation is mitigated, thereby enhancing both control performance and stability.
