Guidance commands are derived using switching surfaces based on range errors and their rates. As the guidance laws are designed using nonlinear engagement kinematics, the proposed strategies achieve salvo interception at desired impact time even for the engagement with large heading angle errors. Unlike most of the existing guidance strategies, the proposed guidance strategies circumvent the possible degradations due to erroneous time-to-go estimates. The proposed strategies are shown to perform satisfactorily for different impact times and also exhibited desirable terminal features as compared to existing salvo strategies.","PeriodicalId":382373,"journal":{"name":"2021 Seventh Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124282216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a nonlinear controller finds its application in highly maneuverable systems such as satellites and quadrotors. The quaternion-based control avoids gimbal lock problem associated with Euler angles and allows almost global asymptotic stability. The attitude controller is well suited for rigid body systems like satellites which require minimising large-angle errors. Extensive simulations are performed on MATLAB to validate the proposed ideas and provide a comparison with existing works.

We consider a dual-controlled interceptor (an interceptor equipped with canard and tail aerodynamic control surfaces), and design fin deflection commands directly to effect the lateral acceleration needed to steer the interceptor on a course leading to interception of a stationary target with constrained impact angle. We use a weighted effort allocation scheme that apportions the available effort in canard and tail surfaces to generate the required lateral acceleration. With an additional degree of freedom, our design exhibits fault-tolerance and is also capable to address other objectives. We present the overall design using sliding mode control to make the design insensitive to modeling errors and parametric uncertainties.

The current work aims at presenting an estimation and control system as a part of an end to end solution for detecting, tracking and finally grabbing a dynamic aerial target. Estimation and control is typically challenging when the target under consideration is a maneuvering one. An Extended Kalman Filter is used to estimate the real time pose of the target with respect to the pursuer drone. This is followed by estimation of smooth trajectory which is fed to a gain scheduling based PD controller in order to engage head on with the target. Further, the accuracy of estimation algorithms and the ability of the proposed system to neutralize the target is demonstrated by means of simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":382373,"journal":{"name":"2021 Seventh Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131037366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of the proposed algorithm is that it considers the maximum possible angular turn rate bounds of the vehicles and generates continuous curvature paths which are flyable. The proposed algorithm ensures that UAVs can afford the lateral acceleration demand of the formation and can track the paths with very low tracking error, which makes it possible to implement in real-world applications. Finally, this guidance algorithm has been extended for standoff target tracking in an obstacle-filled environment.

The primary feature of the proposed event-triggered mechanism is to trigger an event and transmit the system measurements when a pre-defined condition on input error is satisfied. Due to an input error in the triggered condition, redundant control updates are avoided, which can further decrease the number of events for some instances under a network resource-constrained environment. Moreover, a continuous-time dynamic event-triggered mechanism is suggested to improve resource utilization. Furthermore, a finite positive time interval between two consecutive events and the system's stability are established.

Kinematic model based on the on-axle hitching configuration of the tractor-trailer system is used for node expansion. Voronoi graph is used to compute sub-goals that guide the search towards the goal faster. A pure pursuit controller is employed to track the generated trajectory.

The closed-loop fault-tolerant system is treated as a switched dynamical system, and a switched system stability is established using multiple Lyapunov functions. It is shown that all signals are bounded in each sub-interval and at the switching instances, and asymptotic tracking can be obtained for a finite number of fault occurrences.

To solve this problem, the stabilizing control laws are derived by combining the concept of the barrier Lyapunov function with phase-potential functions. Imposing these constraints have advantages in terms of the following: i) the agents do not transgress the given workspace and hence, this ensures safety from territorial attacks ii) maintain a proximity to the desired circular motion iii) the applied lateral force does not exceed the desired limit of a vehicle, imposed by its physical constraints.
