Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hypersonic aircraft control, and relates to a high-speed aircraft model predictive control method based on physical information neural network. Background Art

[0002] Hypersonic vehicles, with their long range, high maneuverability, and mission flexibility, are crucial for meeting future long-range combat requirements, overcoming missile defense systems, and achieving precise and rapid strikes. As the benefits of hypersonic vehicles gradually become apparent, enhancing their flight performance has become a worthy research topic. Introducing deformation technology into hypersonic vehicles, integrating deformation as a controllable parameter into the vehicle design process, allows them to operate over a wider range of airspace and speed ranges, thereby improving flight performance and achieving greater mission flexibility and environmental adaptability. In current research, numerous advanced control strategies have been gradually applied to the design of hypersonic vehicle control systems.

[0003] Model predictive control (MPC) methods predict the system state and derive control commands in a rolling optimization format that satisfies state constraints. As can be seen, MPCs can achieve good control performance under strong parameter perturbations. Therefore, using MPC as a baseline attitude controller, by constructing an optimization model that incorporates control performance and state constraints, it is possible to achieve fast system tracking with strong robustness while satisfying state constraints. However, it is worth noting that MPC-based approaches ignore the impact of noise interference, which is inevitable in practical applications. Physically informed neural networks have become a transformative approach at the intersection of machine learning and physical science, offering a new paradigm for solving complex problems governed by the laws of physics. By integrating principles from both fields, physics-informed neural networks enable researchers to leverage the expressive power of neural networks while adhering to fundamental physical constraints. Traditionally, machine learning and physics have operated independently, each addressing distinct challenges. Machine learning excels at uncovering complex patterns in data but often struggles to integrate prior knowledge or enforce physical constraints. In contrast, physics-based modeling, such as the finite element method or computational fluid dynamics, relies on explicit physical equations but can suffer from scalability and generalization issues in complex real-world scenarios. Physics-informed neural networks bridge this gap by combining the flexibility of neural networks with the rigor of physical principles. By embedding the laws of physics into the learning process, physics-informed neural networks provide a powerful framework for solving both forward and inverse problems in various fields, including fluid dynamics, materials science, and quantum mechanics. This integration improves predictive accuracy, provides insights into physical phenomena, and facilitates the discovery of new scientific principles.

[0004] The patent "Neural Network Learning Control Method for Hypersonic Aircraft Based on Predictive Modeling" (patent, Northwestern Polytechnical University, CN 201710789199.4, 20191018) proposes a neural network learning control method for hypersonic aircraft based on predictive modeling, aiming to address the poor stability of existing hypersonic aircraft control methods. However, this method is relatively complex in its design process. The neural network control system must complete complex calculations in a very short time to ensure real-time control commands. Furthermore, it relies on the accuracy of predictive modeling, which is not conducive to engineering implementation and affects the operational safety and control accuracy of the aircraft.

[0005] The patent "A Robust Attitude Control Method for Hypersonic Aircraft Based on Predictive Sliding Mode" (Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, CN111290278B, 20220503) designs an attitude control method based on predictive sliding mode. This method ensures the stability of the attitude closed-loop control system and enables it to accurately track attitude command signals under parameter uncertainty, improving the system's control accuracy and performance. However, the system is also highly sensitive to noise, further affecting the accuracy and stability of the control system. The design process of this method is cumbersome, and the control scheme requires a high level of modeling accuracy, which is not conducive to engineering implementation.

[0006] The paper "Ge Jianhao, Guo Jie, Wang Haoning, et al. Adaptive Model Predictive Control for Hypersonic Variable-Shape Vehicles [J]. Journal of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2025, 1-19" proposes a parameter-adaptive model predictive control method based on reinforcement learning to address the high-precision control of hypersonic variable-shape vehicles under state constraints. While the method presented in the paper can improve control accuracy under vehicle constraints, its adaptability and robustness to complex or extreme fault conditions may be insufficient. Furthermore, in practical engineering, some uncertainty and noise continue to degrade the performance of model predictive control. To overcome these limitations, new methods are needed to achieve interference-resistant control of hypersonic vehicles.

[0007] The paper "He Tao, Chen Zhong, Cen Lihui, et al. Data-driven predictive control of hypersonic morphing vehicles based on a composite observer [J]. Control Theory and Applications, 2025, 1-9" proposes a data-driven model predictive control approach based on a composite observer for the attitude control of hypersonic morphing vehicles subject to parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. However, the proposed approach relies on parameter tuning of the composite observer, and its ability to handle high-quality control under the combined influence of noise and disturbances has not yet been demonstrated.

[0008] The paper "Mi Hanpeng, Hu Chaofang, Yang Xiaohe, et al. Adjustable Tube-MPC Fault-Tolerant Control for Elastic Hypersonic Vehicles [J]. Aeronautical Science and Technology, 2022, 33(08):88-94" proposes a predictive control fault-tolerant control method for elastic hypersonic vehicles with state-dependent input saturation after feedback linearization. However, the adopted model predictive control scheme ignores the influence of noise interference that is inevitable in practical applications, and its engineering application remains to be verified.

[0009] Existing control methods are often relatively conservative in their handling of uncertainty and noise, which can lead to inflexible and poorly adaptable control strategies in practical applications. This can lead to poor performance when dealing with unforeseen aircraft behavior or environmental changes. In current technological developments, intelligent technologies driven by a hybrid of data and models play a crucial role in improving system performance and adaptability. However, existing technologies fail to leverage these advanced technologies to enhance control systems' resilience to noise interference, particularly in complex and highly dynamic flight environments, lacking effective and robust adaptive mechanisms.

[0070] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0071] This invention, by incorporating a model predictive control approach based on a physical information neural network, not only overcomes the limitations of traditional model predictive control strategies but also enables more precise and dynamic control of hypersonic vehicles. By integrating the physical information neural network into the learning process and utilizing differential equations that incorporate physical process information, this technology effectively addresses the issue of hypersonic vehicle attitude control and enhances the online control system's adaptability to uncertainties and changing conditions.

[0072] Unlike traditional neural networks that rely solely on data, this approach is driven by physics information and incorporates domain-specific knowledge and physical laws to enhance its predictive capabilities. Specifically in the context of hypersonic vehicle engineering, this approach combines data-driven learning with physics-based constraints, providing a powerful framework for solving complex problems posed by complex partial and ordinary differential equations. Physical terms are incorporated into the loss function. By incorporating equation-based constraints into the loss function, the network outputs results that satisfy the laws of physics. First, it reduces the reliance on large datasets because the laws of physics provide prior knowledge to guide the learning process. Second, it enhances the robustness and reliability of the model, ensuring that predictions conform to physical laws even in areas with sparse data. Third, the goal is to infer unknown parameters or inputs from observed outputs. This is achieved by combining data and physical laws, providing a greater information reserve. This ensures that the resulting model is not only data-driven but also physically consistent and interpretable. Data augmentation using physics-based simulations also involves incorporating physical laws into neural networks. When synthetic data obtained through simulation is fed into the network for generalization, the neural network is trained on a "rich" dataset, thereby improving its robustness. In this way, the physics-informed neural network ensures that the learned solution not only conforms to the data, but also satisfies the physical constraints imposed by the partial differential equations. This approach reduces the reliance on large datasets and combines the advantages of physics-based modeling and data-driven learning, resulting in more accurate models with better generalization and interpretability. Traditional methods are less suitable when applied to large and complex datasets for hypersonic vehicles. Physics-driven neural networks improve the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic and control algorithms by incorporating the laws of physics into the learning process.

[0093] Step (2) Design and training of physical information neural network

[0094] Physical Information Neural Network (PINN) can significantly improve the robustness of hypersonic vehicle attitude control by integrating flight data with rigid body dynamics equations. The physical information neural network PINN is used to predict the state value and state change value of the aircraft attitude. In the field of applying physical information neural network to hypersonic vehicle control, the construction and optimization of loss function is key. The loss function is denoted as A data loss function that combines data measurements and physical information loss function . Among them, the data loss function Ensure that the network accurately fits the flight measured data, and the physical information loss function The network is then forced to satisfy the vehicle attitude dynamics equation shown in Equation (1). The trained PINN will be embedded in the model predictive control (MPC) as the core prediction module. By learning the hypersonic vehicle attitude dynamics model through the PINN, it replaces the numerical model in the traditional MPC, thereby accelerating the optimization process and improving the model accuracy.

[0096] (4)

[0097] in, and To balance the weights of the data loss function and the physical information loss function, these weights are adjusted to ensure that both empirical data and physical laws are adequately represented during training.

[0104] Step (3) Control-oriented hypersonic vehicle model conversion

[0105] The core of MPC is to optimize the future control sequence through the prediction model. Its efficiency depends on the simplicity and predictability of the model. MPC requires the model to be in the form of discrete state space. Therefore, it is necessary to transform the attitude dynamics model of the hypersonic aircraft (Equation (1)) into a simplified model suitable for MPC solution. 、 、 As the control input, the attitude angle vector Ω is the control output, and the control-oriented nonlinear attitude dynamics can be written as
