Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control technology, specifically relating to a method and system for sensitivity analysis of aerodynamic deceleration control indicators for UAVs. Background Technology
[0002] Aerodynamic deceleration control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) involves multiple control indices and parameters, which exhibit complex nonlinear relationships and coupling effects. In actual control processes, different indices have varying degrees of influence on the control effect, and this influence dynamically changes with flight conditions. Therefore, accurately identifying and analyzing the sensitivity characteristics of each control index is crucial for optimizing control strategies, improving control accuracy, and ensuring flight safety. Sensitivity analysis can clarify the importance of each index at different flight stages, providing a scientific basis for optimizing control parameter adjustments.
[0003] Existing methods for sensitivity analysis of UAV aerodynamic deceleration control parameters suffer from several limitations. First, most methods only consider the first-order linear correlation between parameters, neglecting nonlinear coupling effects and higher-order interactions, making it difficult to reflect the complex characteristics of real-world systems. Second, existing methods often treat the entire deceleration process as a whole for static analysis, failing to reflect the dynamic characteristics of parameter sensitivity changes with flight conditions, thus lacking practical guidance. Furthermore, existing methods lack a comprehensive evaluation mechanism for parameter importance, making it difficult to balance the multi-dimensional impact of parameters on deceleration performance, stability, and energy characteristics.
[0004] These limitations lead to a series of problems in practical applications. When designing control strategies, excessive focus may be placed on certain superficially important parameters while neglecting crucial actual parameters, resulting in suboptimal control performance. During different flight phases, due to a lack of accurate understanding of the dynamic changes in parameter sensitivity, adjustments to control parameters may be untimely and inaccurate, affecting the precision and reliability of deceleration control. Furthermore, the inability to comprehensively assess the combined impact of parameters may cause the control strategy to sacrifice other important performance indicators in pursuit of optimizing a particular performance metric, thus affecting the overall performance of the system.
[0005] Furthermore, traditional sensitivity analysis methods often employ simple statistical correlation analysis or local disturbance analysis, which are significantly inadequate when dealing with high-dimensional nonlinear systems. They fail to effectively identify interactions between parameters and struggle to accurately quantify the actual impact of parameters on system performance. These limitations make it difficult to establish accurate parameter importance rankings in engineering practice, impacting the efficiency of control system optimization design and parameter tuning, while also increasing the costs of system development and testing.

To accurately assess the impact of each parameter, a global sensitivity analysis is necessary. Compared to local sensitivity analysis, global analysis considers the influence of parameters across the entire range of variation, as well as the interactions between parameters. By performing multiple sampling calculations on the prediction model and combining this with statistical correlation analysis, the importance of parameters can be comprehensively assessed, providing a basis for subsequent parameter selection and control optimization.
[0178] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of step S7 includes the following steps:
[0179] S7.1. Speed phase division;
[0180] by For reference speed, the flight process is divided into three stages:
[0181] Speed on the high-speed section: The corresponding flight speed range is k=1;
[0182] Speed in the medium speed range: The corresponding flight speed range is k=2;
[0183] Speed in the low-speed range: The corresponding flight speed range is k=3;
[0184] S7.2. Constructing a sensitivity index;
[0185] A first-order sensitivity index is set to measure the degree of direct influence between parameters by calculating the squared correlation between a single input parameter and an output parameter. The first-order sensitivity index for the k-th flight speed segment is... The expression is:
[0186]
[0187] in, This is the data set corresponding to the j-th input parameter; Let be the data set corresponding to the p-th output parameter, and corr be the correlation coefficient;
[0188] Furthermore, the strength of the influence of a single input parameter on the output can be determined. By squaring the correlation coefficient, the effects of positive and negative correlations can be eliminated, intuitively reflecting the correlation strength. First-order sensitivity indices are primarily used in UAV aerodynamic deceleration control to identify the direct impact of individual parameters. By evaluating the degree of influence of parameters on the system output, the importance ranking of deceleration device design parameters and flight control parameters can be clarified.
[0189] Second-order sensitivity indices are set to consider the interactions between parameters. The coupling effect of parameters is assessed through combined correlations. Second-order sensitivity indices include single-parameter correlations and parameter combination correlations. The second-order sensitivity index for the k-th flight speed segment is...

By analyzing the interactions between parameters, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex characteristics of the UAV deceleration process, providing a basis for formulating multi-parameter collaborative control strategies and improving the efficiency and reliability of deceleration control.

[0197]
[0198] in, , , These are the dynamic sensitivity indicators corresponding to the high-speed, medium-speed, and low-speed segments, respectively.
[0199] Furthermore, the dynamic sensitivity variability quantifies the degree of fluctuation in parameter sensitivity by calculating the standard deviation of the dynamic sensitivity index at different speed ranges. This index reflects the stability of the parameter's influence throughout the deceleration process and helps identify the changes in the importance of key control parameters at different speed ranges.
[0200] The comprehensive application of this multi-level sensitivity analysis method can improve system performance in terms of design optimization, performance enhancement, and safety assurance. Through scientific sensitivity analysis, it can comprehensively guide the design improvement of deceleration systems, optimize control strategies, and provide guidance for the engineering implementation of UAV deceleration control systems.

[0211] ;
[0212] S7.4. Introduce adjustment coefficients to balance the strength and stability of the influence of parameters, and construct an importance index for key parameters. Used for quantitative assessment of parameter importance;
[0213]
[0214] in, It serves as an importance index for key parameters; The adjustment coefficient, determined by expert experience, indicates the importance of the indicator; a larger value signifies greater importance. The key parameter identification indicator establishes a quantitative assessment method for parameter importance by comprehensively considering the parameter's maximum impact and sensitivity variation characteristics. This indicator introduces an adjustment coefficient to balance the intensity and stability of the parameter's influence, providing a scientific basis for determining the core parameters in control strategies.
