Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft guidance, specifically relating to a reentry guidance method for variable-structure aircraft based on constraint adaptive adjustment. Background Technology
[0002] Modularly configured aircraft, by altering the wingspan, sweep, and tail section, can improve aerodynamic characteristics and enhance maneuverability, showing broad application prospects in aerospace transportation, emergency rescue, and modern agriculture. With advancements in materials science and intelligent control technologies, modularity has become a crucial development direction for next-generation aerospace vehicles, including reusable and space-to-space vehicles. Reentry guidance is key to the precise achievement of the reentry trajectory and terminal target for aerospace vehicles, and superior guidance laws are essential for the safe, accurate, and efficient completion of reentry missions. During reentry, the aircraft improves its aerodynamic characteristics through configuration changes, potentially reducing the rudder deflection load required for guidance. However, the strong coupling between configuration and aerodynamic characteristics means that the reentry corridor, composed of aerodynamic overload, heat flux density, and dynamic pressure, dynamically changes during configuration changes. Guidance commands must be matched in real-time to the aerodynamic characteristics under the current configuration to avoid touching the reentry corridor and affecting the reentry mission's success. In mission spaces with large airspace, wide speed range, and target reconstruction, the dynamic strong coupling relationship between configuration, aerodynamic characteristics, and reentry corridor poses challenges to the reentry guidance technology of variable-configuration aircraft.
[0003] Existing research on guidance problems for fixed-configuration aircraft is relatively abundant. The literature "Energy Tube Control Guidance Method for Long-Range Maneuvering Aircraft" (Tong Wei, Jia Pinghui, Zhang Ning, et al. Energy Tube Control Guidance Method for Long-Range Maneuvering Aircraft [J]. Missiles and Space Launch Vehicle Technology, 2021, (4): 88-92.) provides an energy tube control guidance method, which uses an energy management method to correct flight altitude online for terminal velocity control. It has the advantages of high terminal velocity accuracy and easy engineering implementation. However, guidance methods for fixed-configuration aircraft do not involve the coupling changes of aircraft configuration and aerodynamic characteristics. Therefore, velocity control requires sacrificing terminal altitude control accuracy. Moreover, this method does not address the feasible range of terminal velocity and ignores the limitations imposed by process constraints on terminal velocity. Some methodological research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on the guidance problem of deformable aircraft. The literature "Guidance Method for No-Fly Zone Evasion of Retractable Deformable Aircraft" (Zheng Jinku, Yao Qingrui, Huang Ding, et al. Guidance Method for No-Fly Zone Evasion of Retractable Deformable Aircraft [J]. Tactical Missile Technology, 2024, (4): 64-71+102.) utilizes the additional maneuverability brought by the deformability to meet the requirements of maneuver evasion missions. In the guidance process, the configuration state is preset as a discrete state. It does not involve continuous deformation or reentry guidance under terminal target switching requirements, and the utilization of deformation is not yet sufficient. In view of the reentry guidance mission requirements under terminal target switching within a certain range, a new reentry guidance method for deformable aircraft is urgently needed, which uses configuration change to assist guidance and considers the dynamic strong coupling relationship between configuration, aerodynamic characteristics and reentry corridor. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing methods in terms of autonomy regarding the utilization of aerodynamic improvements introduced by configuration changes and dynamic matching of reentry corridors, this invention proposes a constraint-adaptive adjustment-based reentry guidance method for variable-configuration aircraft, targeting reentry guidance missions under terminal target switching within a certain range. From the perspective of configuration-assisted guidance, within a predictive correction guidance framework, a terminal velocity constraint condition that adaptively adjusts in real time according to flight status is designed. An optimized reentry guidance model for the variable-configuration aircraft is constructed, and the optimal angle of attack and deformation are calculated in real time using a sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Combined with a lateral guidance law, online guidance for variable-configuration aircraft with configuration changes as an aid is achieved under multi-dimensional constraints and terminal target switching. This invention can realize reentry guidance for variable-configuration aircraft under multi-dimensional constraints and terminal target switching within a certain range.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The first step is to construct a reentry guidance model based on the kinematics and dynamics model of the variable-structure aircraft, combined with process constraints and terminal constraints, with angle of attack, bank angle, span, and sweep angle as variables.
[0008] The second step is to design a lateral guidance law based on the reentry guidance model and the quasi-equilibrium gliding condition and prediction correction algorithm to calculate the aerodynamic lift coefficient required for the current guidance in real time and make an indirect longitudinal guidance law.
[0009] The third step is to introduce terminal velocity prediction variables that are related to aerodynamic drag and terminal altitude, and design terminal velocity constraints that are adaptively adjusted in real time according to flight status.
[0010] The fourth step is to construct a longitudinal guidance optimization model for the variable-structure aircraft, with the minimum drag coefficient of the aircraft as the optimization objective, the angle of attack, the roll angle, and the span as longitudinal guidance variables, and the indirect longitudinal guidance law, the range constraint of the guidance variable, the rate of change constraint of the guidance variable, the aerodynamic coefficient constraint, and the terminal velocity constraint as comprehensive constraints.
[0011] The fifth step is to solve the longitudinal guidance optimization model to obtain the longitudinal guidance law formed by the span, sweep angle and angle of attack, and combine it with the lateral guidance law to realize the online guidance of the variable-configuration aircraft with configuration change as an auxiliary under the terminal target switching.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] To address the reentry guidance problem of variable-configuration aircraft, this invention, under comprehensive constraints including quasi-equilibrium gliding conditions, process constraints, physical constraints, and terminal constraints, ensures the feasibility of the reentry mission by employing a lateral guidance law based on heading error and an indirect longitudinal guidance law based on prediction correction. Configuration parameters are incorporated into the guidance variables to construct a reentry guidance optimization model, which solves for the optimal deformation and angle of attack in real time. Configuration changes are used to minimize aerodynamic drag and increase terminal velocity. Simultaneously, a terminal velocity constraint condition that adaptively adjusts with flight status is designed, combined with aerodynamic coefficient constraints, to achieve real-time dynamic matching between configuration, aerodynamic characteristics, and the reentry corridor. This prevents the aircraft from touching the reentry corridor and ensures the success of the reentry guidance mission. This invention enhances the ability of existing methods to improve aerodynamic characteristics, solves the problem of insufficient autonomy in dynamic matching of the reentry corridor, and realizes online guidance for variable-configuration aircraft with configuration changes as an aid under multi-dimensional constraints and terminal target switching.

[0024] The fifth step is to solve the longitudinal guidance optimization model to obtain the longitudinal guidance law based on the span, sweep angle, and angle of attack, and combine it with the lateral guidance law to achieve online guidance of the variable-configuration aircraft with configuration changes as an auxiliary under terminal target switching.
[0025] Example:
[0026] Taking a variable-structure aircraft with variable span and sweep angle as the application object, with a maximum span of 1.1m, a minimum span of 0m, a maximum sweep angle of 90 degrees, and a minimum sweep angle of 67 degrees, the specific steps of the present invention are further explained as follows:

[0038] Specifically, the second step includes:
[0039] In this invention, the reentry guidance problem of the variable-structure aircraft is solved from both lateral and longitudinal aspects. Lateral guidance is performed within the heading error corridor framework, with the roll angle as the guidance variable, satisfying the terminal heading error constraint. Longitudinal guidance is performed within the predictive correction guidance framework, around the quasi-equilibrium gliding condition, with deformation and angle of attack as longitudinal guidance variables, satisfying the process constraints and terminal position constraints during reentry.
[0040] In terms of lateral guidance, heading error Defined as the angle between the line of sight from the current position of the aircraft to the terminal target and the velocity direction in the current horizontal plane, the expression is:

[0047] To meet heading error constraints, a roll angle sign reversal strategy is determined based on the heading error corridor. When the heading error exceeds the constraint upper limit, the roll angle sign is reversed. A typical heading error corridor is set according to the flight speed range, and the boundaries of the corridor are determined iteratively. The design goal is to minimize the number of roll angle reversals while ensuring that the terminal bearing meets accuracy requirements.

Satisfying the equation The superscript "." indicates the first derivative. For the Earth's radius, Let be the aircraft altitude. Based on the aircraft's kinematics and dynamics equations, a differential relationship exists between the expected flight range and the flight altitude. Considering the current position information of the variable-structure aircraft and terminal target location Integrating, we can obtain:

[0067] This invention transforms the longitudinal guidance law design problem of a variable-configuration aircraft into a reentry guidance optimization problem. Under the comprehensive constraints of indirect longitudinal guidance law, physical constraints of guidance variables, process constraints, and terminal velocity constraints, deformation and angle of attack are used as optimization variables. Through the real-time solution of this optimization problem, configuration-assisted reentry guidance can be achieved.
[0068] Specifically, the terminal target switching in the fifth step can be defined as:

The angle between the line-of-sight angle and the velocity-heading angle is expressed as follows: , The maximum allowable line-of-sight angle and velocity heading angle are switched for the terminal target. For this variant aircraft, , , , .
[0071] By combining terminal target constraints, based on the longitudinal guidance optimization model, and using the sequential quadratic programming algorithm to solve for the optimal angle of attack and deformation in real time, and combined with the tilt angle obtained by the second-step lateral guidance law, online guidance of the variable-configuration aircraft with configuration changes as an aid is realized under terminal target switching.
[0072] like Figure 2The image shows the reentry guidance trajectory under terminal target switching, as shown below. Figure 3a , Figure 3b The figure shows the deformation curve during the guidance process, where, Figure 3a For the exhibition length, Figure 3b This is the sweep angle. For example... Figure 4 The image shows the predicted flight speed and terminal velocity curves during the guidance process. Analysis Figure 2 , Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 4 It can be seen that during reentry, the reentry trajectory of the deformable spacecraft is relatively stable overall, with no significant fluctuations even after the terminal target switch, and it can reach the designated terminal target. The rate of change of deformation is small, with significant fluctuations only occurring at the instant of terminal target switch, and the fluctuation amplitude is small, which facilitates the physical control. Although the predicted terminal velocity fluctuates significantly at the instant of terminal target switch, the adaptive adjustment mechanism of the constraints in the longitudinal optimization guidance model can achieve rapid limiting of the terminal velocity. Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the present invention can effectively complete the reentry guidance task under terminal target switch, with continuous deformation and satisfying the terminal velocity constraint.
[0073] This invention addresses the reentry guidance problem of variable-configuration aircraft. Under comprehensive constraints including quasi-equilibrium gliding conditions, process constraints, physical constraints, and terminal constraints, it ensures the feasibility of the reentry mission by employing a lateral guidance law based on heading error and a longitudinal guidance law based on prediction correction. Configuration parameters are incorporated into the guidance variables, and a longitudinal guidance optimization model is constructed to solve for the optimal deformation and angle of attack in real time. Configuration changes assist in minimizing aerodynamic drag and increasing terminal velocity. A terminal velocity constraint condition that adaptively adjusts with flight status is designed, combined with aerodynamic coefficient constraints, to achieve real-time dynamic matching between configuration, aerodynamic characteristics, and the reentry corridor, preventing the aircraft from touching the reentry corridor and ensuring the reentry guidance mission. This invention enhances the ability of existing methods to utilize aerodynamic characteristics, solves the problem of insufficient autonomy in dynamic matching of the reentry corridor, and enables online guidance of variable-configuration aircraft assisted by configuration changes under multi-dimensional constraints and terminal target switching.
