The radar can invert the parameters of sea evaporator ducts by using the sea clutter information.In order to improve the performance of evaporative duct inversion, an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed.When taking the minimum value, the objective function established between the actually measured radar sea clutter power and the clutter power calculated by the evaporation duct model can reverse the profile parameters closest to the actually measured evaporation ducts.According to this idea, the inertia weights and learning factors are adaptively adjusted based on the basic PSO algorithm, and the adaptive compression factor is introduced to ensure the fast convergence of the algorithm, thus the high-precision evaporation duct parameters can be obtained.Simulation experiment proves that:compared with basic PSO algorithm, the improved PSO algorithm has better global convergence performance, and the inversion speed is obviously improved when dealing with large-scale data.

    Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTE) sends communication tasks at regular time triggered by a reasonable scheduling timetable to ensure the real-time and safety-critical performance.This paper proposes a scheduling algorithm of TTE based on time-slot partition.The algorithm obtains information of the switches in the network topology, and partitions the scheduling timetable of each end system.According to the routing information of TT traffic, the sending time is configured in the corresponding partition, so as to ensure the conflict-free transmission of TT traffic in the physical link.At the same time, the scattered free time-slots are combined to reduce the delay of RC traffic and to avoid the waste of network resources.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has advantages in network resource integration and computing speed while ensuring the schedulability of TT traffic.

    The consistency control problem of isomorphic multi-agent system is considered in most of the research on multi-agent systems, but in practical application, a variety of agents need to work together according to the desired formation shape, and the dynamics of real systems often have nonlinear properties.Aiming at this problem, a heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent system time-varying formation control strategy based on PI controller and adaptive control strategy is designed by using nonlinear parameter decomposition method under undirected topology.Since the real system will inevitably be affected by external disturbances, and there is a certain range of external disturbances.Therefore, on the basis of the designed control strategy, the stability of the multi-agent system with external bounded disturbances is considered.The stability of the designed control strategy is analyzed by constructing a Lyapunov function and verified by making simulation on Matlab.The results show that the time-varying formation control of heterogeneous multi-agent system can be realized by the designed control strategy and it has certain effectiveness.

    Aiming at the problems of slow convergence speed and easy divergence of state variables in the trajectory tracking of a quadrotor aircraft, a dual-loop hybrid finite time control strategy is proposed.According to the Newton-Euler equation, the dynamic model of the quadrotor is deduced, and is then divided into two control loops, i.e., the inner and the outer loop according to the principle of time scale.The outer loop uses a finite time control strategy to accelerate the convergence speed of the three-axis position and the yaw angle.The inner loop uses fast nonsingular terminal sliding mode control technology to achieve rapid convergence of the attitude angle.A virtual prototype of the quadrotor aircraft is built to simulate its trajectory tracking control effect in a three-dimensional simulation environment.The simulation results show that, compared with the other two common controllers, the controller designed in this paper has the best control accuracy, robustness and tracking effect, and it can better meet the requirements of quadrotor aircraft trajectory tracking control.

    Considering that the N-step phase shift method cannot overcome the nonlinear response of the projection equipment in the measurement system, and in order to suppress the jumping error of the three-frequency heterodyne phase unwrapping, we proposed a 3D measurement method based on double-N-step phase shift and full-frequency phase unwrapping.Firstly, the initial and fused wrapped phases are solved by standard double-4-step phase shift method, and the combined wrapped phases are determined according to the fringe modulation system.Then the first-order fringe series is obtained by using the three-frequency heterodyne method, and the unwrapped phase of the second-order fringe is obtained based on the relationship between fringe series and phase in the full-frequency phase-unwrapping algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed method is simple in implementation, smooth in phase expansion and has no jumping error.Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method has better phase unwrapping effect.

    The variability of the aperture of the airborne opportunistic array radar enables its radio frequency radiation power control range be arbitrarily directed in space.This paper first presents the multi-aperture characteristics of an aircraft opportunistic array radar, and shows that the continuous changes of its multiple aperture values can be approximated by trigonometric functions.Then, in order to relax the strong constraints on the prediction error covariance during target tracking and improve target tracking performance, the ratio of Blackman window to Hamming window is designed as the relaxation factor of the prediction error covariance.Finally, the dwelling time optimization model of airborne opportunistic radar is analyzed and established based on the requirements of RF stealth.The simulation results show that the use of interactive multi-model and dwelling time optimization design based on the posterior Cramer-Rao bound constraints not only has better RF stealth performance, but also can save the resources and improve the target tracking performance of the airborne opportunistic radar.

    The equipment Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) prediction method based on dropout Neural Network (dropout NN) has low precision since it uses a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) with fixed priori distribution and approximate posterior distribution.To solve the problem, we proposed a RUL prediction method based on BNN with Gaussian approximation posterior distribution and a RUL prediction method based on mixed Gaussian-Bernoulli network.The former introduces the mixed Gaussian distribution as priori distribution and then optimizes BNN by unbiased Monte Carlo estimation of parameter gradient, while the latter introduces a discretized Gaussian prior distribution to define KL divergence correctly, and then optimizes the BNN.The verification results on PHM 2012 bearing dataset show that the mixed Gaussian-Gaussian network has better effect than dropout NN, which proves that BNN with the changed distribution combination can obtain better prediction effect.

    It is difficult to obtain the infrared image of the aircraft target under air-to-ground background, which may leads to over-fitting or other problems of the algorithms for infrared aircraft target detection.To solve the problems, a data augmentation method for small-sample infrared aircraft targets is proposed based on the related methods of feature fitting and inter-channel attention mechanism of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN).Firstly, a special pyramidal multi-scale GAN structure is used to learn the feature information of a single image at different scales.Secondly, for the small infrared aircraft images, the structure of the network generator is improved, an inter-channel attention module is added to the generator to enhance the representation of small sensory fields and enrich the details of the generated images.Finally, the learning rate of the small-scale stage of the pyramid is scaled in the training phase of the network, to avoid the distortion of the generated images due to the overlarge learning rate.Several common target detection algorithms are simulated and evaluated, and the results validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method by comparing it with the traditional data augmentation methods.

    The “position+velocity” transfer alignment method is adopted to simulate the impact of two factors, airframe structure deformation and baseline information delay, on the real-time posture accuracy of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) at the Antenna Phase Center (APC).The conversion relationship between main and sub inertial navigation coordinate systems is clarified, and the influence rules of these two types of factors on the real-time posture information of the sub-inertial navigation at the APC after transfer alignment are obtained.The simulation shows that:1) The matching algorithm is not suitable for the case where the airframe has intense dynamic deflection and deformation and with high frequency in deformation;and 2) The baseline information delay may seriously affect the estimation time and accuracy performance of the “position+velocity” transfer alignment.Therefore, it is necessary to make structural deformation compensation and delay compensation and use other measures when the above two factors have serious effects.
