In dynamic uncertain environment, the security and reliability of UAVs executing missions can be improved greatly by taking the mobility of the threatening obstacle and the detection error of sensors onboard the UAVs into consideration. On the basis of 3-D velocity obstacle model, the dynamic uncertainties is expressed by the orientation error of threatening obstacle's velocity, and the 3-D Dynamic Velocity Obstacle Model (3-DDVOM) is established. A 3-D dynamic uncertain autonomous collision avoidance algorithm based on 3-DDVOM is presented. Finally, the proposed 3-D autonomous collision avoidance method for UAV is applied to online path planning of Pythagorean Hodograph (PH) curve, and the simulation results show the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.

    When used in four-rotor aircraft control,the traditional linear discrete sliding mode has the shortcomings of large tracking error,low response speed,and long convergence time.Aiming at the four-rotor aircraft with outside interference,system uncertainties and modeling errors,we proposed a discrete adaptive terminal sliding mode control method based on disturbance observation compensation.First,the terminal sliding mode control law was designed to the discretization equation including the four-rotor aircraft model,and an adaptive law factor was introduced to decrease the chattering.An improved discrete disturbance observer was constructed by taking the square of the state variables as interference error convergence,and its stability was proved.The improved discrete disturbance observer was used to get high-accuracy estimation of the unknown interference,uncertainties and modeling errors,which were used for compensation in controller design.Thus the robustness was increased and the steady-state error was decreased.Finally,the proposed method was used for the control of four-rotor aircraft.Simulation on Matlab shows that:Compared with the discrete terminal sliding mode controlling method,this method has a faster response speed,better tracking effect,and higher robustness,which can implement stable attitude control of the vehicle in the presence of uncertain disturbance.

    Aiming at the low reliability for single moment discrimination of multi-range-false-target,a method based on dimensions of space and time characteristics is proposed to discriminate the multi-range-false-targets.Firstly,measurements from radar network are transformed to the earth-centered earth-fixed coordinate system by preprocessing in order to unify the coordinate system.Then,test statistics are built up based on space distribution characteristics of the true-false targets for preliminary discrimination of the true-false targets by single moment association test.Finally,the tests of multiple moments are accumulated for improving the reliability of discrimination.The simulation results verify that:Compared with the single moment test,the accumulation of multi-moment tests is able to improve the reliability of multi-range-false-target discrimination.

    A rapid transfer alignment method for missile MEMS SINS is presented.An error model of velocity+attitude information matching method is constructed,and a discretization way of continuous systems easy for engineering application is proposed.Through flutter maneuvering during the alignment procedure,the azimuth estimation accuracy is improved in the scheme.At the same time,in view of the large bias of MEMS inertial sensor,the residual zero offset of gyro is taken as the stage of filter for real-time estimation and compensation.The alignment precision is improved greatly through real-time feedback correcting of attitude and velocity.The flight test results show that the attitude accuracy is better than 0.15°,azimuth accuracy is better than 0.2°,and alignment time is less than 60 s,which can meet the tactical weapon requirements.

    Considering the terminal guidance problem with impact angle constraint and overload constraint,an Adaptive Fuzzy-Sliding Mode Control (AFSMC) guidance law is presented.Its stability is proved by Layapunov stability criterion.The desired impact angle is defined by a desired Line of Sight (LOS) angle,and achieved by design of sliding mode surface.The Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is introduced to reduce the high-frequency chattering of sliding mode control.Since the ANFIS has a powerful self-learning ability,it is applied to adaptive update the additional acceleration command.As a result,the guidance law has good robustness to uncertain chattering and model uncertainty,and the guidance accuracy is improved.Simulation results show that the AFSMC guidance law can meet the requirements of impact angle constraint,overload constraint and miss distance constraint in various scenarios.

    The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) are introduced,and ananalysis is made to their similarities and differences.Through Monte-Carlo simulation tests,the characteristics of UKF and CKF under large azimuth misalignment are studied,and the following conclusions are obtained:1) UKF is sensitive to both angular motion and linear motion,while CKF is only sensitive to linear motion;2) Both the incentive of angular motion and linear motion can speed up the convergence of UKF algorithm,but as to the CKF,the incentive of angular motion makes no contribution to the alignment accuracy while the incentive of linear motion can speed up the algorithm convergence;and 3) The CKF algorithm accuracy can be gradually increased with the improvement of the incentive of linear motion.The unique characteristics are helpful for the engineering realization of alignment technology.

    In recent years,some scholars introduced dynamic Allan variance into the random signal processing of inertial components to implement real-time tracking of random signal error.However,since the dynamic Allan variance uses the function with fixed window length for intercepting random signals,it can not guarantee both the signal dynamic tracking performance and variance confidence level.To solve the problem,this paper proposes a dynamic Allan variance arithmetic based on entropy of information.First,the entropy of information in the window is used for representing the non-stationarity of the dynamic gyro signal.Then,it can adaptively select the appropriate window length for the next moment according to the entropy of random signal,and calculate the Allan variance of the signal.Simulation result proves that the algorithm can effectively improve the real-time tracking capabilities of the gyro dynamic signal.

    According to the specific functions and characteristics of airline network,two new measurements for network survivability were put forward.The transport reliability measurement was given based on network throughput taking the flow as the Edge Weight (EW).The accessibility measurement was proposed based on the link situation among nodes,which can accurately reflect the network connectivity.At last,simulation was carried out to verify the two proposed measurements by using two attack models based on incomplete information conditions.The result shows that:1) Under EW attack strategy,the network has a bad transport reliability,and the transport reliability decreases more quickly and obviously as the acquired information quantity increases;While the accessibility behaves well,and it shows a trend of slow descent as the acquired information quantity increases;and 2) Under Unweighted Edge Betweenness (UEB) attack strategy,the network has fine transport reliability and accessibility,but the response to the acquired information quantity is different:The transport reliability hardly changes as the acquired information quantity increases,while the accessibility has a certain acceleration of descent.Therefore,the two measurements can reflect the survivability under two attack strategies from two aspects,and have a good ability for measurement,which verifies the method.

    In order to solve the problem of UAV's autonomous landing when GPS signal is failed, a UAV landing method based on FastSLAM algorithm is adopted. First, based on the ground speed measured by Doppler radar, the motion model is described by nonlinear equation with Gaussian noise. The UAV uses its laser radar to obtain the distance and azimuth relative to environmental landmarks for constructing the system observation model. Path estimation and environmental landmark estimation are implemented by particle filter and extended Kalman filter respectively. The velocity estimation is obtained by using tracking differentiator of the arctangent form. Simulation results show that by choosing appropriate number of particles and environmental landmarks, FastSLAM algorithm can meet the requirement on landing precision and real-time performance, and is an effective landing navigation method.
