Firstlythe definition of detectability was presentedwhich is a new physical quantifier used to describe the difficulty level for detecting a target.Analysis was given to the influence of target flight altitude and velocity on its detectability in infrared bandand the regularity of detectability changing was obtained based on a mount of simulating calculations.The analysis result shows that:1) Under normal weather conditionthe active detecting range will increase by 5 km for the same infrared detector when the speed of target improves by 0.5 Mach;2) The detectability of a target will increase with the increasing of its flying height when the height is under 8 kilometersdecrease with the height when it is beyond 10 kmand reach the max at the height of 8 to 10 km.

    A novel adaptive integral sliding mode tracking controller is proposed for a morphing aircraft.The adaptive compensation algorithm is used to dispel the effect of parametric uncertainty on system stability.The perturbation can be projected into the matched and unmatched spaces.The additional integral term in the sliding surface reduces the steady state error and also provides one more degree of freedomwhich minimizes the Hinfinity norm of unmatched perturbation.It is shown that the stability of the closedloop system can be guaranteed with the proposed adaptive sliding mode control strategy.The feasibility of designed control scheme is demonstrated by a morphing aircraft model application.
