文摘

In this paper, a novel adaptive neural control methodology is addressed for a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (FAHV) by a fusion of improved back-stepping and a minimal-learning-parameter (MLP) scheme. To facilitate the control design, the vehicle dynamics is decomposed into the altitude subsystem and the velocity subsystem. Different from the traditional back-stepping design, in this paper, the virtual control laws for the altitude dynamics are artificial intermediate variables required only for analytic purpose while only the final actual controller is needed to be implemented. For each subsystem, only one neural network is employed to approximate the lumped uncertainty. Moreover, by the merit of the MLP technique, only one learning parameter is required for neural approximation in each subsystem. The novel contribution with respect to the existing literatures is that the proposed control strategy is concise and the computational load is low. Finally, the effectiveness of the exploited control approach is verified by simulation results in the presence of uncertain parameters.
