In the planning of UAV safe collision avoidance path,Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm suffers from slow convergence rate and reward function setting difficulties.To solve the problems,based on reverse reinforcement learning,a UAV path planning algorithm that integrates expert demonstration trajectories is proposed.Firstly,based on the simulator software,the demostration trajectory dataset of the expert manipulating the UAV to avoid obstacles is collected.Secondly,the hybrid sampling mechanism is used to update the network parameters by integrating high-quality expert demonstration trajectory data in the self-exploration data to reduce the cost of algorithm exploration.Finally,according to the maximum entropy reverse reinforcement learning algorithm,the optimal reward function implied in the experience of experts is calculated,which solves the problem that the reward function is difficult to design in complex tasks.Comparative experimental results show that the improved algorithm can effectively improve the efficiency of algorithm training and the obstacle avoidance performance is better.

    Building the parameterized turbulence model of a specific turbulence wind field is of great significance for the study of flight dynamics and flight safety under atmospheric disturbance.A parameterized modeling method of atmospheric turbulence is proposed based on the flight data of civil aviation aircraft.Firstly,based on the original flight data,the three-axis components of turbulent wind along the flight trajectory are derived,and the non-turbulence components in the turbulent wind are separated by Gaussian process regression.The turbulent components conforming to stationarity and normality are extracted through statistical tests.After that,the frequency-domain turbulence model is built based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE),and the time-domain turbulence model is built based on an auto regression process.The test results based on real-world flight data show that the customized modeling of turbulence wind field can be realized by the established parameterized turbulence model,which can be further applied to flight safety analysis and flight parameter estimation.

    In wartime,the multi-destination material transportation task of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has the problems of difficulty in determining the destination and high real-time requirements for path planning due to its complex environment and changeable material requirements.In order to solve the problems,a multi-destination path planning method based on ant colony decision-making and receding control is proposed.This method establishes a multi-destination decision-making function with the minimum loss as the objective through the optimization mechanism of ant colony algorithm.In addition,the Receding Horizon Control with extended Solution (RHC_eS) is adopted to carry out the multi-destination path planning by adopting the strategy of decision-making while moving at the same time.Finally,in order to verify the effectiveness of the method,experiments are carried out in a multi-destination environment with obstacles.The results show that compared with other methods,the proposed method has the advantages of shorter path and less loss.

    Considering the nonlinear and fast time-varying characteristics of hypersonic vehicle,the wavelet-based predictive function control method is studied,aiming at improving the control performance of traditional step-signal-based predictive function control and realizing real-time control of hypersonic vehicle.Firstly,the nonlinear model of the hypersonic vehicle is converted into a state-dependent linear model,and then the control law is represented as a linear combination of wavelet functions,and the calculation of the control law is converted into the calculation of the basis function coefficients,which greatly reduces the dimensionality of the optimization calculation,so that the real-time control of hypersonic vehicle can be realized.In addition,different from the traditional predictive function control method,this paper uses the wavelet function as the basis function,which can make full use of the multi-scale analysis and compact local characteristics of the wavelet.By flexibly setting the number and position distribution of wavelet basis functions,the approximation requirements of the fitting points and the overall control performance are ensured.The simulation results show that the wavelet based predictive function control has better tracking performance than the traditional step-signal-based predictive function control does.

    To solve the problem that model bias and external disturbances increase the difficulty of position tracking and anti-swing control of the slung-load flight system of quadrotor UAVs,a nonlinear control method based on compensation function observer is proposed.Firstly,the dynamic model of the slung-load flight system of a quadrotor UAV is built and a compensation function observer is designed to observe the unmodelled dynamics and unknown disturbances.Then,in view of the tracking error constraints of system reference inputs,a barrier Lyapunov function is built to design a backstepping controller,and the total disturbance is compensated for by introducing the estimation value of the compensation function observer in the controller,thus ensuring the UAV position errors and the slung-load swing angle to change within the constraint ranges and making the system achieve the expected control effect.Lyapunov stability analysis proves the stability of the closed-loop system,the convergence of position errors and the suppression of slung-load swing.The simulation results show that the proposed controller can effectively suppress the swing of the slung-load while realizing the accurate control of UAV positions.

    In order to solve the problem that the adaptive monopulse phase discriminating curve is distorted and the performance of angle estimation is seriously degraded under the condition of main-lobe interference, a new method to improve the performance of angle measurement is proposed by introducing mirror virtual interference to offset the error generated by the interference signal.The distortion of phase discriminating curve and residual interference signal are analyzed mathematically to be the main factors of generating angle measurement errors,and the main angle of interference signal has a corresponding relationship with the deviation.Therefore,the sampling covariance matrix is reconstructed by mirror virtual interference to estimate the signal adaptively.The proposed algorithm does not require additional restrictions on the sum and difference beams,does not consume the degree-of-freedom of the antenna,and has higher stability under low SNR conditions.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
