Robust Adaptive Attitude Control for Airbreathing Hypersonic Vehicle with Attitude Constraints and Propulsive Disturbance

摘要

A robust adaptive backstepping attitude control scheme, combined with invariant-set-based sliding mode control and fast-nonlinear disturbance observer, is proposed for the airbreathing hypersonic vehicle with attitude constraints and propulsive disturbance. Based on the positive invariant set and backstepping method, an innovative sliding surface is firstly developed for the attitude constraints. And the propulsive disturbance of airbreathing hypersonic vehicle is described as a differential equation which is motivated by attitude angles in this paper. Then, an adaptive fast-nonlinear disturbance observer for the proposed sliding surface is designed to estimate this kind of disturbance. The convergence of all closed-loop signals is rigorously proved via Lyapunov analysis method under the developed robust attitude control scheme. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed attitude control scheme.
