Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a multi-vehicle time-sharing coordinated guidance method, belonging to the field of aircraft guidance and control. Specifically, it is an invention of a time-sharing coordinated guidance method with fixed-time convergence, which enables aircraft to hit targets one by one at specified time intervals and ensures that the coordinated time-sharing attack error can converge within a fixed time. Background Technology
[0002] Cooperative guidance methods enable aircraft to simultaneously hit targets, offering unique advantages for missions requiring coordinated attacks. Existing cooperative guidance methods primarily control coordinated attacks by constructing and stably converging cooperative errors. However, these methods only guarantee simultaneous target hits and do not meet the requirement of sequential hits at specified time intervals. Attack time convergence methods mainly include asymptotic time convergence and finite time convergence. Asymptotic time convergence guarantees zero attack time error, but the convergence time tends towards infinity. For attack time control guidance methods, the attack time error should converge before the expected attack time. If the algorithm's convergence time exceeds the desired attack time, the final attack time will be inconsistent with the expected attack time. While finite time control methods guarantee error convergence within a finite time, the upper bound of the convergence time depends on the initial system state. For systems where the initial state is difficult to measure, the upper bound of the convergence time cannot be predicted. Therefore, researchers have proposed fixed-time convergence methods that do not depend on the initial system state.
[0003] Therefore, this invention designs a multi-aircraft time-sharing coordinated strike guidance method based on fixed-time convergence theory. The constructed distributed coordinated time-sharing strike error enables the aircraft swarm to hit the target sequentially at specified time intervals. The fixed-time convergence method enables the coordinated time-sharing strike error to converge rapidly before the first aircraft hits the target, and the designed method allows the aircraft swarm to hit the target sequentially at specified time intervals. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the problem of aircraft sequentially hitting targets at specified time intervals by proposing a multi-aircraft time-sharing coordinated guidance method. This method enables the constructed coordinated time-sharing strike error to converge rapidly, thereby achieving time-sharing strikes against the target.
[0005] The technical concept of this invention is to design a fixed-time convergence cooperative time-sharing strike guidance law for aircraft, enabling a swarm of aircraft to sequentially hit the target at specified time intervals. This method first establishes a mathematical model of the motion of the swarm of aircraft relative to the target, where communication between the aircraft is possible. It then predicts the remaining hit time of the swarm and constructs a distributed cooperative time-sharing strike error, finally guaranteeing a time-sharing strike cooperative guidance law that ensures the fixed-time convergence of the cooperative time-sharing strike error.

[0056] The invented attack time control guidance method with switchable fixed-time convergence includes the following steps:
[0057] Step 1: Establish a mathematical model of the relative motion between the aircraft and the target.

[0068] Step 4: Introduce time-varying functions
[0069] For guidance law design purposes, a time-varying function is introduced:
[0070] (18)

[0078] The designed algorithm was verified using the Matlab simulation platform to validate the effectiveness of the multi-aircraft time-sharing coordinated guidance method. For the embodiment, the scenario of striking a stationary aerial target was used, and the parameters were set as follows: k 1 = 10, k 2=5, =0.8, =2, k 3=20, k 4=20, T f =20, h =3. Considering practical considerations, the acceleration limit is at... 100m / s 2 The initial target position is (0,0,0). The initial data for each aircraft are shown in Table 1. The communication topology between the aircraft is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, 1-5 represent the first to fifth aircraft respectively. If two aircraft are connected by an arrow, it means that the two aircraft can communicate with each other and exchange information to coordinate and cooperate in time-sharing strike errors.
