Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an analytical prediction method for hypersonic trajectories based on matrix operator homotopy analysis, belonging to the field of aerospace technology. Background Technology

[0002] Hypersonic vehicles face a complex dynamic environment with strong nonlinearity and strong coupling during the reentry and gliding phase. When performing online trajectory planning, guidance command generation, or closed-loop correction tasks, they need to frequently and rapidly make high-precision predictions of future flight trajectories. The accuracy and computational efficiency of trajectory prediction directly determine the performance of the vehicle's online guidance system.

[0003] Existing trajectory prediction methods face the following bottlenecks in engineering applications:

[0004] (1) Numerical integration method:

[0005] While numerical integration methods, such as the Runge-Kutta method, have high prediction accuracy, they require extremely small integration steps to ensure numerical stability during the integration process, resulting in huge computational overhead and making it difficult to meet the millisecond-level online real-time requirements of onboard computers.

[0006] (2) Traditional analytical method:

[0007] Traditional analytical methods based on the quasi-equilibrium gliding assumption are fast, but they introduce strong simplification assumptions in the modeling process. When the aircraft performs large-scale lateral maneuvers or long-endurance flight missions, the prediction error will accumulate significantly, which cannot support the requirements of high-precision guidance.

[0008] (3) Traditional HAM (Hotopy Analysis):

[0009] HAM, with its characteristic of not relying on small parameter assumptions, has shown certain advantages in solving nonlinear dynamic problems. However, traditional HAM usually uses simplified general differential operators (such as the highest-order derivative operator), which fails to effectively utilize the local dynamic characteristics of the dynamic system. As a result, its zeroth-order solution lacks corresponding physical meaning, and it often needs to derive and calculate a large number of high-order correction terms to meet the accuracy requirements, which seriously restricts the online computation efficiency of the method.

[0010] Therefore, designing a high-fidelity, fast trajectory prediction method that can both eliminate the tedious numerical integration process and accurately capture the full nonlinear dynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicles is a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of hypersonic vehicle guidance.
