Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper considers the attitude tracking problem for the generic hypersonic vehicle (GHV). First, the second-order nonlinear GHV attitude model is introduced. Second, by utilising the direct parametric approach, a modified parametric controller composed of the parametric state proportional plus derivative feedback controller and the feedforward controller is proposed. With application of the first part, the closed-loop system is a constant linear system with desired eigenstructures, and the second part is used to ensure the asymptotic tracking property of the outputs of the GHV attitude system. Since the control input of the established GHV attitude model is moment command, an algorithm that transforms the moment commands into the fins deflection command is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed parametric controller and transform algorithm is illustrated by the numerical simulation results.
