In the environment with small Radar-Cross Section (RCS), serious clutter and noise, it is difficult to detect the slow-moving target at short range. To solve the problem, a target detection method based on double-channel convolutional auto-encoder with skip connection is proposed. The time-frequency spectrum is introduced to the convolutional auto-encoder as the input. The neural network structure adopts the IQ double-channel to extract amplitude features and phase features from target echoes, and fuses the multi-dimensional features in the middle layer. Considering that the target scale is small in time-frequency spectrum, the skip connection structure is designed in the network, which connects the top and the bottom of the network to improve the recovery ability of target feature in decoders. Moreover, it can mitigate the gradient dissipation problem of the deep network, and improve the efficiency of end-to-end training. Experimental results show that: In the environment with serious clutter and noise, this method can achieve better performance on detection of small, slow-moving target than the traditional methods.

    For a class of uncertain nonlinear systems, a new adaptive output feedback control method combining backstepping with active disturbance rejection control is investigated.By introducing the Extended State Observer (ESO), the unknown state of the controlled system is estimated in real time.At the same time, the ESO is used to implement online approximation and compensation of the uncertain terms in the system.The nonlinear filter is used to differentiate the virtual control signal during the backstepping design process, which avoids the complexity explosion problem in the traditional backstepping design control, and an adaptive output feedback controller is designed accordingly.The stability of this control method is proved by Lyapunov function, and it is verified that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded.Numerical simulation examples further verify the effectiveness of the method.

    In the area where the geomagnetic change is slow, the one-dimensional geomagnetic matching navigation has a low matching probability and limited application range.Aiming at the problem, a multi-dimensional geomagnetic matching algorithm based on PSO is proposed for aircraft networking flight.Based on the single-dimensional geomagnetic matching model, a master-slave networking geomagnetic matching model is established.Using multiple aircraft space constraints, the average absolute error rule is extended from one-dimensional calculation to high-dimensional matching.The positioning effectiveness is evaluated from three aspects of successful matching rate, matching error and algorithm fitness.Simulation results show that the multi-dimensional geomagnetic matching can obtain higher matching probability and matching positioning accuracy in a short period, with a matching rate 10% higher than that of single-dimensional geomagnetic matching at the same matching point.
