Mission-oriented control scheme for autonomous/semi-autonomous UCAV

Abstract

This paper discusses the scheme and design method for UCAV autonomous/semi-autonomous control system. According to the investigation of the traditional tactical flight maneuvers and the existing air combat simulators, a missionoriented control scheme is proposed to fulfill the autonomous/ semi-autonomous requirements. A library including 9 maneuvers is designed by which complex tasks could be formed. And base on the flight mechanics, a control structure of line motion-angular motion is proposed to simplify the implementation of flight maneuvers. Finally, the proposed method is validated through simulations of a nonlinear six degrees of freedom UAV model.
