Time-Domain Identification Method Based on Data-Driven Intelligent Correction of Aerodynamic Parameters of Fixed-Wing UAV

Abstract

In order to overcome the influence of complex environmental disturbance factors such as nonlinear time-varying characteristics on the dynamic control performance of small fixed-wing UAVs, the nonlinear expression relationship of neural networks (NNs) is combined with the recursive least squares (RLSs) identification algorithm. This paper proposes a hybrid aerodynamic parameter identification method based on NN-RLS offline network training and online learning correction. The simulation results show that compared with the real value of the identification value obtained by this algorithm, the residual error of the moment coefficient is reduced by 69%, and the residual error of the force coefficient is reduced by 89%. Under the same identification accuracy, the identification time is shortened from the original 0.1 s to 0.01 s. Compared with traditional identification algorithms, better estimation results can be obtained. By using this algorithm to continuously update the NN model and iterate repeatedly, iterative learning for complex dynamic models can be realized, providing support for the optimization of UAV control schemes.
