Terminal Distributed Cooperative Guidance Law for Multiple UAVs Based on Consistency Theory

Abstract

In order to realize a saturation attack of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the same target, the problem is transformed into one of multiple UAVs hitting the same target simultaneously, and a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law for multiple UAVs based on consistency theory is proposed. First, a new time-to-go estimation method is proposed, which is more accurate than the existing methods when the leading angle is large. Second, a non-singular sliding mode guidance law (NSMG) of impact time control with equivalent control term and switching control term is designed, which still appears to have excellent performance even if the initial leading angle is zero. Then, based on the predicted crack point strategy, the NSMG law is extended to attack maneuvering targets. Finally, adopting hierarchical cooperative guidance architecture, a terminal distributed cooperative guidance law based on consistency theory is designed. Numerical simulation results verify that the terminal distributed cooperative guidance law is not only applicable to different forms of communication topology, but also effective in the case of communication topology switching.

Why Do Consumers Buy Green Smart Buildings without Engaging in Energy-Saving Behaviors in the Workplace? The Perspective of Materialistic Value

“…Further research should explore different theories from different backgrounds to verify the theoretical model of this study. For example, the consistency theory [43][44][45] may be a plausible theory to explain why consumers demonstrate purchase intention for green smart buildings and energy-saving behavior in the workplace and why these consumers want to demonstrate behaviors to meet their materialistic value.…”

How Does Organizational Leadership Promote Pro-Environmental Behavior? A Moderated Mediation Model of Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility Policies

“…Further surveys must study different theories in different contexts to validate the model of this article. For example, the congruence theory [52][53][54] should be a possible theory because these employees intend to display pro-environmental behaviors to satisfy their supervisors' expectations for environmental responsibility. Fifth, since this article's theoretical model contains mediating and moderating variables, it is recommended that subsequent research uses samples from different countries to conduct the empirical analysis of the mediating moderation model.…”

Special Issue on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

“…In the case of multiple vehicles, distributed cooperative control laws are proposed in [10] for the problem of interception of static and maneuvering targets by several UAVs. In [11], a distributed formation controller is presented using specific index patterns and chain rules of visual references among the vehicles of the fleet, resulting in a good robustness wrt losses of vehicle(s).…”
