The integrated application on adaptive control of unmanned combat aerial vehicles

In this paper, the integrated application on self-adapting control of the uninhabited combat aerial vehicles is investigated. According to the characteristics of the flight control systems on various stages, a series of compatible methods about MRAC are adopted to satisfy the flight performance of the unmanned fighter aircraft. Firstly, controller of actuator is constructed according to MIT law. Then the design of MRAC based on Lyapunov’s Second Method is applied to lateral flight control. Besides, the method based on Popov super-stability of longitudinal-flight-control is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme leads to better performance on stability and dynamic response of flight control systems.
