In order to improve the performance of maneuvering target tracking, a RA-Jerk-EKF method is proposed by integrating the target radial acceleration into the measurement matrix, thus to improve the tracking accuracy by increasing the dimensions of measurement matrix.In the proposed method, the radial acceleration is derived based on Fractional Fourier Transformation (FRFT) in signal processing phase, and is then brought into the measurement vector through coordinate transformation.In data processing phase, a method of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based on Jerk model is adopted to resolve the problem of the non-linearity of the measurement equation in filtering.Simulation is made to compare the proposed method with the traditional Jerk model based EKF without acceleration measurement.The results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance on tracking accuracy, and estimation accuracies of position, acceleration and velocity are improved at the same time.

    The integrated guidance and control design of ground missiles with angular constraints can effectively improve the guidance precision and destructive effect of missiles, which has become a hot topic in recent researches.Firstly, the integrated model of small air-to-ground missiles in pitch plane was established.It was transformed into a linear system containing angular constrain in order to achieve the angular constraint.Then, the linear quadratic optimal control method was used to design the integrated optimal control law of missiles with angle constraint.Finally, simulation was made to compare the designed control law with the sliding mode variable structure control law.The simulation results show that the optimal control law can not only ensure the accuracy of the missile guidance with angular constraint, but also can guarantee smooth trajectory and shorten the time of guidance, which shows good performance for missiles.

    A new method for estimating the attitude of spinning missile was proposed.Firstly, according to the nature of spinning missile, a special sun sensor is designed to measure the solar vector instead of the commonly used accelerometer and magnetometer in MEMS sensor to correct the gyro bias.The solar vector measuring device comprises a transparent shell, photocell array, real-time clock and controller.When the sun light illuminates the photocell array through the transparent shell, the photocell array can convert the solar energy into the electric potential signal.According to the size of the solar energy and the angle of the photocell, combined with the accurate time provided by the real-time clock, the solar vector of this moment is obtained through main controller processing.Then, the Kalman filer state equation and observation equation established by using the quaternion differential equation is adopted to estimate the spinning missile attitude.The simulation results show that this method can obtain the higher accuracy attitude angle of spinning missile.

    Aerial target intention recognition is an important part of the battlefield situation assessment, which is directly related to the operational decision-making of the commanders. However, the target's information measured in a complicated combat field is from multiple sources and involves many uncertain factors. In this paper, an aerial target intention recognition approach is proposed based on Belief-Rule-Base (BRB) and Evidential Reasoning (ER). Firstly, a new target intention recognition model based on BRB-ER for multi-source information fusion is presented. Then, a multi-parameter optimization model is established to optimize the initial parameters for improving the recognition precision. Finally, a case study is examined to validate the efficiency of the proposed approach. The result shows that it can recognize the aerial targets'intentions precisely.

    In traditional quadrotor PID controller, parameter tuning is difficult and it is also difficult to achieve optimum control effect.To solve the problems, we constructed a quadrotor PID Neural Network (PIDNN) controller, which integrated the advantages of the traditional PID controller of clear engineering meaning and simple parameter tuning, with the advantages of Neural Network (NN) of nonlinear mapping and self-learning capability.The nonlinear mapping and self-learning capabilities of NN were used to optimize the control effect of traditional PID controller.By constructing the PID controller, the initial values of number of neural network layers, modes and connection weights were determined.At the same time, we designed a kind of adaptive flight control algorithm of PIDNN, using adaptive adjustment of proportional neuron weighting coefficient to increase the response speed of the system.The rationality and validity of the algorithm were verified by using a nonlinear full numerical simulation.

    For the infrared early warning system, the multi-target tracking algorithm usually has long starting time and poor real-time performance due to long measurement cycle and large quantity of targets. In this paper, a new algorithm based on random finite set is proposed. Considering that for the standard multi-target tracking algorithm based on the standard random set, it is necessary to give the prior birth probability density of the new target and the track can't be labeled, we make improvement to the algorithm. Sector processing method, uniform new target density model, and track batch management are used. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm can meet the demand of infrared warning system.

    The influence of source number estimation on application of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) methods is researched.For positive model of ICA, when the estimated source number is less than the actual source number, the positive model is changed to over-determined model, and natural gradient algorithm is implied for simulation experiment.To the case that the estimated source number is more than the actual source number, the positive model is changed to under-determined model, for which the hybrid matrix estimation algorithm based on single source detection is used for estimating the hybrid matrix, and subspace representation algorithm is employed for studying the influence on source separation.Experimental results show that, as to the problem of positive model changing to over-determined model, in the case of signal to noise ratio satisfying the requirements, the number of successfully separated source signals is usually equal to that of estimated source number.As to positive model changing to under-determined model, usually all of the source signals can be successfully separated, but there is one or more of the separated signals is the copy of the original source signal.In this case, the separated signals can be merged based on correlation analysis, and all of the original source signals can be separated successfully.The results supply a referenced for applying ICA methods.
