Finite-Time Sliding Mode Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Hypersonic Vehicle
Wang Xu;Xu Hui;Shang Yiming;Fan Xuen;Cai Guangbin;An active disturbance rejection control strategy based on non-singular terminal sliding mode is proposed to address the insufficient tracking accuracy and weak anti-disturbance capability caused by strong coupling nonlinearity in hypersonic vehicle attitude tracking control. A non-singular terminal sliding mode controller is designed to achieve finite-time convergence, which effectively improves the smoothness of control signals and the convergence speed of the system. A nonlinear extended state observer is introduced to provide real-time estimation of total system disturbances, thereby enhancing the robustness of the control system, while considering the dynamic characteristics of control surface servo systems to make the controller closer to actual systems. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved using Lyapunov theory. Simulation results demonstrate that compared with other nonsingular terminal sliding mode control methods, the proposed method exhibits superior tracking performance and disturbance rejection capability, and effectively suppresses control input chattering.
Research on UAV Mission Planning Based on Dynamic Partitioning-load Balancing Task Model
LIU Hong-qin;SHEN De-wei;WANG Peng-fei;TIAN Ming-liang;Aiming at the multi-UAV mission planning problem for maritime reconnaissance missions, an balanced task model based on the idea of dynamically partitioned zones is proposed. Firstly, considering the high complexity of resource allocation and task scheduling in maritime reconnaissance, a dynamically partitioned zone model is constructed. Combined with the ant colony algorithm, a UAV mission planning scheme that considers force optimization is proposed, reducing the required number of UAVs. Secondly, to address the issue of unbalanced task loads among UAVs, a balanced task model is introduced to ensure an equitable distribution of tasks among the UAVs. Simulation results show that dynamically partitioning the zones effectively reduces the number of UAVs and shortens the path length. Furthermore, with the integration of the balanced model, the total reconnaissance time is shortened by 15% compared to the pre-balanced task approach, and the disparity in task loads among different UAVs is significantly reduced.
Heuristic Search Trajectory Planning Method for Hypersonic Morphing Vehicle
YAO Dongdong;ZHOU Jianghua;XIA Qunli;XIE Jiawen;Aiming at trajectory planning of gliding hypersonic morphing vehicle flying in the environment with high altitude, low altitude and additional threat areas, a trajectory planning method based on the heuristic search algorithm is proposed. The sparse A* algorithm is improved according to the performance of the aircraft. The Angle of attack scheme, the integrated trajectory and the final guidance law with fall Angle are taken as algorithmic factors. In order to avoid the temporary threats found in the environment, a fast search scheme with variable step size is proposed. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively obtain the safe trajectory and sweep Angle scheme of the aircraft in the scene of multiple types of threaten areas, and verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Capability Assessment of US Missile Defense Systems to Intercept Hypersonic Weapons
Liao Longwen;Chen Junyan;Ma Han;Xie Fengyu;Yuan Qiuyue;The United States has established many missile defense systems such as the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system, the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, the THAAD system, and the Patriot-3 system, aiming to offset the offensive advantages of hypersonic weapons. The capability, advantages and disadvantages of these systems to intercept hypersonic weapons in the mid-course and end-phases are assessed. The interception mechanism is analyzed based on key kinetic parameters such as the lift factor and lateral acceleration requirements. Through quantitative evaluation and probabilistic calculations, the interception capability of existing U.S. missile defense systems is examined.Furthermore, typical post-intercept scenarios (e.g., "hit without kill") are analyzed from the perspective of damage effectiveness, providing intuitive data and information on the offensive-defensive balance of hypersonic weapons. The results demonstrate that the current U.S. missile defense systems exhibit limited effectiveness in end-phases interception of hypersonic weapons. However, due to the combined characteristics of hypersonic gliders, such as high speed, high maneuverability, and low detectability, the current systems still face significant challenges during interception.

Feng Xuanming;Zhao Gang;Wang Tong;Lei Zhen;Zhang Long;To address the issues of disconnection from battlefield dynamics, fragmented cross-domain knowledge, and low response efficiency in traditional equipment requirement generation approaches, a dynamic equipment system requirement generation architecture based on large language models (LLMs) is proposed.
