Longitudinal Control Technology for Automatic Carrier Landing Based on Model-compensated Active Disturbance Rejection Control

Abstract

Carrier aircraft landing is a system engineering with strong nonlinear, strong coupling, and complex environmental interference. Landing control is one of the key technologies for carrier aircraft landing, which directly affects the success of the landing. A longitudinal decoupling control method based on Model Compensated Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (MCC-LADRC) is proposed for tracking the deck motion and maintaining the attack angle in the final stage of the carrier landing. The simulation results show that compared with the PID control and traditional LADRC strategy, the MCC-LADRC method can not only control the carrier aircraft to track the deck motion synchronously and accurately, improve the landing accuracy and anti-disturbance capability but also has a good attack angle retention effect and eliminate the coupling between the pitch angle and the attack angle.
