AI Technical Summary
Existing autonomous aerial refueling and rendezvous guidance methods struggle to guarantee accuracy and robustness in the face of uncertain disturbances and maneuvering environments. Traditional line-of-sight guidance lacks effective compensation, sliding mode guidance is prone to chattering, and existing adaptive methods are not robust enough under high maneuvering conditions.
An adaptive superspiral sliding mode aerial refueling rendezvous control method based on line-of-sight guidance is adopted. By constructing an adaptive superspiral sliding mode guidance law, guidance commands are generated to drive the receiver aircraft to gradually approach the tanker aircraft to achieve rendezvous. This includes constructing a virtual tanker aircraft, a target line-of-sight vector, a sliding mode surface, and an adaptive superspiral sliding mode guidance law, combined with a six-degree-of-freedom nonlinear model for control.
It improves rendezvous accuracy and robustness, reduces chattering, lowers the burden on actuators, achieves fast and stable rendezvous, is applicable to various aircraft types, has a moderate computational load, and is easy to implement in engineering.
