Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft control, and more particularly to a guidance command analysis method based on control stiffness analysis. Background Technology

[0002] During missile guidance, lateral position control primarily involves lateral turning maneuvers. Commonly used turning control techniques include sideslip turn (STT) and yaw turn (BTT). BTT guidance utilizes a roll channel to rapidly rotate the missile's maximum lift surface to the maneuver direction required by the guidance law. The pitch channel controls the missile to generate the maneuver overload necessary for the guidance law, while the yaw channel coordinates the coupled motion of the pitch and roll channels, keeping the sideslip angle within a relatively small range. Missiles using BTT guidance significantly outperform those using STT guidance in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, maneuverability, and range. Based on the missile's aerodynamic design, overall shape, seeker, and propulsion system, BTT guidance is classified into three types: BTT-45°, BTT-90°, and BTT-180°. BTT-90° and BTT-180° are generally used for missiles with symmetrical layouts. The main difference between missiles guided by BTT-90° and BTT-180° lies in whether the missile can generate negative lift. In addition, the seeker also has certain limitations on the roll angle of the missile, such as the tracking algorithm of the image seeker and the deflection range of the frame seeker.

[0003] The guidance commands generated by BTT-90° include elevation channel overload commands and roll angle commands within the missile system. The missile's required overload in the normal and lateral directions within the non-rolling missile system is calculated based on the missile-target line-of-sight angular rate. The total overload of these two directions constitutes the missile system's elevation channel overload command. The conventional roll angle command is calculated as the arctangent of the ratio of the lateral to the normal required overload. However, during trajectory convergence, the lateral overload demand is affected by noise, oscillating near zero. When the normal overload demand is smaller than the lateral overload demand, or when the normal overload oscillates near zero, it can easily cause significant oscillations in the roll angle. Limiting the angle or angular rate can prevent the missile's maximum lift surface from accurately pointing towards the target, making accuracy difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a guidance command analysis method based on control stiffness analysis in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] Guidance command analysis methods based on control stiffness analysis include:

[0007] S1. Acquire the guide head signal, the filter input signal, the filter output signal, and the time before and after the unit step of the autopilot;

[0008] S2. Analyze the equivalent time constant of the missile dynamics system based on the seeker signal, the filter input signal, the filter output signal, and the time before and after the unit step jump of the autopilot.

[0009] S3. Based on the guidance information and the current roll angle, calculate the normal overload requirement n of the non-rolling projectile system. yc and lateral demand overload n zc ;

[0010] S4. Let the flight time of the missile after entering guidance be T. Analyze the pitch channel normal overload command during the guidance process based on the flight time T and the equivalent time constant of the missile dynamics system.

[0011] S5. Analyze the missile roll angle command based on the normal demand overload, lateral demand overload, and equivalent time constant of the missile dynamics system for the non-rolling missile system.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: control stiffness is the ratio of the total guidance time to the equivalent time constant of the missile dynamics system. Ensuring necessary control stiffness is a prerequisite for ensuring missile accuracy. The equivalent time of the missile dynamics system mainly consists of the seeker time constant, the guidance signal filtering time constant, and the autopilot time constant. When the guidance time is greater than a set multiple of the missile dynamics system's equivalent time, the trajectory basically converges. The roll angle command can be fine-tuned by adjusting the sign of the lateral demand overload, thereby reducing roll angle command oscillation and improving the quality of guidance commands.

[0027] Guiding signal filtering time constant: Due to significant differences in filter algorithms, a general equivalent method is proposed here. A sinusoidal sweep signal is input to the filter's input, and the output signal at different frequencies is recorded at the output. The sinusoidal angular frequency corresponding to a drop in amplitude to 0.71 times the input amplitude is calculated. Then the time constant T of the guiding signal filtering f Represented as: ;

[0028] Autopilot equivalent time constant: For missiles using BTT-90° guidance, the autopilot consists of a control law and a missile body model, and is divided into an overload autopilot and a roll autopilot. Based on the unit step response of the autopilot, the time corresponding to the rise from zero to 63.2% is recorded, denoted as T. n and Then the equivalent time constant T of the autopilot c Represented as ;

[0030] S3. Based on the guidance information and the current roll angle, calculate the normal overload requirement n of the non-rolling projectile system. yc and lateral demand overload n zc ;

[0031] S4. Let the flight time of the missile after entering guidance be T. Analyze the pitch channel normal overload command during the guidance process based on the flight time T and the equivalent time constant of the missile dynamics system; specifically including:

[0032] S41. Calculate the normal demand overload n of the non-rolling spring system. yc and lateral demand overload n zc Total overload;

[0033] S42. Determine whether the flight time T is less than N times the equivalent time constant T of the missile dynamics system. d ,Right now , if so, enter S43; otherwise, enter S44;

[0034] S43. At this time, the general trajectory has not yet converged, and the normal overload command in the pitch channel during the guidance process is equal to the total overload. Enter S5;

[0035] S44. At this time, the trajectory is basically converged. At this time, the overload command in the pitch channel changes slowly. Therefore, set the filtering time constant to T0, and use a first-order inertia to perform low-pass filtering on the total overload to eliminate high-frequency measurement noise, and obtain the normal overload command in the pitch channel during the guidance process. Enter S5.

[0036] In summary, the normal overload command in the pitch channel can be expressed as:

[0037] ;

[0042] S53. At this time, the missile is basically aligned with the target, and the roll angle command only needs to be fine-tuned. Set the guidance period to T g , the maximum allowable roll angle rate of the missile is , calculate the roll angle command increment , expressed as: , where k is a protection coefficient, 0 < k < 1. Suppose the missile roll angle command at the nth moment is , then the roll angle command for the next period is expressed as . <000​​​​

[0045] N is not less than 8.

[0046] k=0.3.

[0047] Control stiffness is the ratio of the total guidance time to the equivalent time constant of the missile's dynamic system. Ensuring sufficient control stiffness is a prerequisite for guaranteeing missile accuracy, and it is generally 5 to 10 times the equivalent time constant of the missile's dynamic system. The equivalent time of the missile's dynamic system mainly consists of the seeker time constant, the guidance signal filtering time constant, and the autopilot time constant. When the guidance time is greater than 5 to 10 times the equivalent time of the missile's dynamic system, the trajectory essentially converges. The roll angle command can be fine-tuned by adjusting the sign of the lateral demand overload, thereby reducing roll angle command oscillation and improving the quality of guidance commands.

[0048] The technical solutions of the present invention are not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any technical modifications made in accordance with the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
