In air-ground collaborative operation scenarios,UAVs are required to have the capabilities of rapid path planning and accurate autonomous landing at the same time,which poses higher requirements on the real-time performance and accuracy of the algorithm under limited computing resources of the UAVs.This paper mainly solves the key technological problem of integrated realization of UAV rapid path planning and autonomous landing function.Firstly,to solve the problems of the traditional A* algorithm of bad real-time performance and abundant resource consumption,the traditional eight-neighborhood search approach is expanded to the sixteen-direction search approach,a high-matching-degree heuristic function is designed,and an adaptive weight coefficient is introduced to comprehensively enhance the performance of the path planning algorithm.Secondly,oriented to the scenario of air-ground collaborative operations,a UAV autonomous landing strategy based on visual feedback is designed,which improves the accuracy of autonomous landing.Finally,simulation and experiments are performed to verify the performance of the proposed enhanced A* algorithm,autonomous landing and the integrated realization strategy.The results show that the enhanced A* algorithm shortens the length of the planned path and improves the smoothness of the planned path,and the real-time performance of the algorithm is improved to a great extent,which meets the requirements of real-time obstacle avoidance and path planning in complex environments.Meanwhile,the UAV can quickly and steadily land at the target point on the ground platform.

    Finite-time distributed cooperative control of a second-order multi-agent system in the form of double integral with unknown leader control inputs is studied.Firstly,in order to estimate the leaders control input information quickly and accurately,a new finite-time tracking differentiator based on hyperbolic tangent function is proposed,and a terminal attractor function is introduced to eliminate chattering.Secondly,a finite-time tracking control law based on a novel variable speed reaching law with deceleration points is designed.The system has faster convergence speed when it is far from the deceleration point,and can effectively reduce the chattering when it is close to the deceleration point.Under the action of this control law,the followers can track the leaders speed and position better by using the obtained control input information.Finally,the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Passive location systems are susceptible to the Earths curvature when detecting long-range targets,and the process of unifying the coordinate systems of multiple observation stations introduces additional errors into the system,resulting in large deviations between the target position estimated by the system and the real target position,which in turn causes serious consequences on the subsequent data correlation and information fusion.In view of this,this paper proposes a passive location algorithm using Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA),which is based on two-station coordination considering the Earths curvature.Firstly,all geographical coordinates are converted to geodetic Cartesian coordinate system.Then,the information of TDOA of the target is received by the two stations.Finally,the geodetic Cartesian coordinates of the target position are solved based on the elliptic equation of the Earth and the method of Taylor series expansion.Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithm can overcome the influence of the Earths curvature,realize the standardization of the coordinate systems of the location system,and effectively reduce the location error,which provides a new technical idea for the passive detection of long-range targets.

    Multi-UAV cooperative task assignment is broadly applied in many fields and thus widely studied.However,the application scenarios of communication constraints and resource consumption allocation methods are often ignored.Therefore,this paper proposes a distributed multi-UAV task assignment method based on CNP to solve the above problems.This method can be divided into four steps,that is,task release,bid application,coalition formation and contract signing.In the task release stage,the adaptive setting method of maximum number of information transfer times is proposed to limit the range of recipients and reduce communication load.In the process of coalition formation,the resource consumption allocation algorithm based on the Gini coefficient is proposed to reasonably adjust the resource difference between UAVs in the coalition.The simulation results prove the effectiveness of multi-UAV task assignment method based on CNP and resource consumption allocation algorithm based on the Gini coefficient.
