To improve the amplitude limiting efficiency of pendulous gyroscope north-seeker, an improved stepping iterative method is developed.Firstly, based on the introduction of motion equation for the sensitive part as well as the analysis of traditional stepping iterative method, different stepping iterative strategies are put forward according to the initial angular velocity when the sensitive part is put down.Then, the implementation principle of improved stepping iterative method is deduced in details.The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulation.The numerical simulation examples show that when the initial angular velocity for putting down the sensitive part is within a certain range, the improved stepping iterative method has a higher limiting efficiency than the traditional one.The improved stepping iterative method can avoid the electromagnetic interference torque problem of the electromagnetic damping method while keeping the traditional stepping method′s advantages, and ensure the limiting reliability, thus providing a theoretical reference for shortening the north-seeking time.

    To implement fast tracking control of large angle maneuvering of quadrotor UAVs, a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller with more compact structure is designed on the SO(3), which eliminates the singularity of Euler angle description and the problem of local linearization.The modified reaching law can accelerate the system approaching speed when far from the sliding state, and eliminate the chattering effectively.The stability of the controller is proved by using the Lyapunov stability theory.The simulation results show that the attitude is tracked quickly with high precision and low chattering.

    In Direction-Finding (DF) crossing localization, the standard deviation of DF error is influenced by the nonuniform environment of the target area.To solve the problem, we proposed a Weighted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (WMLE) algorithm.In this algorithm, the effect of the target distance was introduced into Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE).A weighted vector was constructed to control and compensate for the standard deviation of the DF error increasing with the target distance.Theoretical analysis showed that the algorithm of WMLE can further improve the accuracy of the multi-station DF crossing localization.

    The output frequency of signal in high-precision inertial navigation is limited, which is difficult to meet the accuracy requirement of control system for mobile satellite communications.To solve the problem, an attitude estimation algorithm with Sage-Husa adaptive Kalman filter based on data fitting interpolation is presented.It uses cubic spline interpolation to increase the output frequency of attitude information and increase the system estimation times per unit interval.The adaptive Kalman filter algorithm is used for constantly revising the filtering error and avoiding the possible filter divergence caused by system parameter mismatching.The experiment result shows that:1) Data fitting interpolation can make up for the deficiency of the high-precision inertial navigation in data update frequency, and the adaptive filtering can improve the robustness of the system to different environment;and 2) The attitude estimation and control accuracy of antenna beam attitude are improved significantly, which can satisfy the beam pointing needs of broadband mobile satellite communications.

    As to the issue of predicting real-time aerial target track, grey prediction model is an effective method in the context of limited data.But the accuracy of grey model prediction often fails to meet the requirements in practical engineering applications.Through in-depth study on the modeling mechanism of grey mode, it was found that the selections of initial value and grey parameters are not optimal.Then, by using ant colony optimization for the initial value and grey parameters, the accuracy of track prediction was improved significantly.The effectiveness and precision of the method was verified through case calculation.

    In midcourse guidance of missile by cooperation of different kinds of aircrafts, abnormal abrupt change of missile overload is easily emerged in the process of guidance handover, which is mainly resulted from the switching of target information and guidance law.Based on the idea of converting the “abrupt change” to a “gradual change”, thus reducing the variable extent of overload, algorithms for the handover laws of target information and guidance law are proposed by adopting the variable weight coefficient method.Of which, the handover law of target information gives the “virtual target” information after weighting on the target information from handover aircrafts, while the handover law of guidance law gives the weighted guidance law of that before and after handover.Both the handover laws gradually change the weight coefficients of two weighted terms, until one weight coefficient is 0, and the other is 1, thus to realize the switching between weighted terms.To ensure the smooth transform of missile overload in the handover phase, it should be satisfied that the derivative of missile acceleration exists in the handover phase.Finally, simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed handover method.

    The long-range targets in the sky appear as dim and small targets in the infrared detector, which have unconspicuous gray scale and area characteristics in the image.Due to the influence of the clouds in the sky, the image background may include large areas with high brightness or complex texture structure, which may affect the detection probability and false alarm rate of the system.Therefore, the background of image must be suppressed.In this paper, Top-Hat transform is used together with the image segmentation algorithm based on Markov random field for image processing.The simulation results show that this method can effectively restrain the background while retaining the real targets.

    For the problem of time-varying multi-target tracking in clutter environment, the Extended Kalman-Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (EK-GMPHD) filter algorithm applicable to non-linear system is presented. In recursion of Gaussian component, the extended Kalman filter is used for local linearization, which solves the non-linear problem of measurement equation and state equation. In reducing the number of Gaussian terms, a new merge criterion is established, which gives consideration to the influence of Gaussian component covariance on the estimation accuracy. The estimated number of targets at the current moment is used to smooth the estimated number of targets at the previous moment, thus can eliminate the influence of outlier. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively filter out clutter, and accurately estimate the number and state of multiple targets.

    Grey theory is an effective method for studying the performance degradation law of inertia device and for predicting its lifetime.To enhannce the value of new information, the non-equal interval GM (1, 1) model is improved with a weighted model.Considering that it is impossible to obtain an exact predictive value to chaotic data sequence, a new method of grey interval prediction is proposed, making use of the whole data trend together with extreme point information, which can overcome the shortage of extracting boundary function by only using the extreme point.Smooth ratio of the parameter sequence is examined firstly before modeling.The parameter sequence meeting the quasi-smooth condition is to be modeled directly with weighted grey model, and otherwise, grey interval prediction is performed.The example shows that:in direct modeling, the weighted model improves the prediction accuracy to level 1 from level 2;in grey interval prediction, the real value lies within the prediction interval, with the average relative error of its upper and lower boundary prediction being 4.88%, and the prediction effect is significantly improved.
