Distributed Anti-Disturbance Control Strategy for Multi-Aircraft Systems With Time-Varying Topology

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the distributed consensus problems for second-order multiaircraft systems in the presence of sensor data loss and time-varying communication topology. A novel model-based game strategy is proposed to handle the distributed problem regardless of the time-varying topology. An anti-disturbance sliding-mode controller is designed to realize the ability of disturbance rejection and state estimation. The extended state observer combines two methods together and finally produces an independent decision-making architecture for each individual such that better convergence is achievable. Theoretical analyses are given to guarantee both individual stability and distributed stability. The simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Observer-Based Fault Tolerant Control for a Class of Nonlinear Systems via Filter and Neural Network

“…Up to now, plenty of results have been developed. To mention a few, in [5], second-order multi-aircraft systems were investigated, and an anti-disturbance sliding mode controller was presented to ensure the convergence of the closed-loop system with unknown disturbances. In [6], a disturbance rejection tracking control scheme was proposed for an airplane in the presence of external time-dependent disturbances and internal uncertainties by utilizing a robust feedback control policy such that the controlled system is robust to the disturbances and uncertainties.…”

Mechanism Analysis of Smart Cue on Aircraft for Loss of Control Mitigation

“…Reference [15] expanded the model's applicability to accommodate significant and sudden variations in elements of the flight control system. In the research of the aircraft system, many papers on fault-tolerant and adaptive control methods are developed and demonstrated for LOC hazards mitigation [16], [17]. For example, reference [18] utilized a new intelligent flight control system to prevent the LOC and validated the effectiveness by conducting the pilotin-the-loop experiments.…”
