Research on Adaptive Prescribed Performance Control Method Based on Online Aerodynamics Identification

Abstract

Wide-speed-range vehicles are characterized by high flight altitude and high speed, with significant changes in the flight environment. Due to the strong uncertainty of its aerodynamic characteristics, higher requirements are imposed on attitude control. In this paper, an adaptive prescribed performance control method based on online aerodynamic identification is proposed, which consists of two parts: an online aerodynamic parameter identification method and an adaptive attitude control method based on the pre-defined parameters of the control system. The aerodynamic parameter identification is divided into offline design and online design. In the offline design, neural networks are used to fit nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics. In the online design, a nonlinear recursive identification method is used to correct the errors of the offline fitted model. The adaptive attitude control is based on the conventional control method and updates the control gain in real time according to the desired system parameters to enhance the robustness of the controller. Finally, the effectiveness of the offline neural network and online discrimination correction is verified by mathematical simulations, and the effectiveness and robustness of the adaptive control proposed in this paper are verified by comparative simulation.
