An Indirect Method for Optimal Guidance of a Glider
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of finding the trajectory, for a glider, that maximizes the final velocity and respect both initial and terminal conditions on the state. A new set of differential equations governing the system, deduced using optimal control theory, is proposed. To solve this system of equations, an algorithm based on an indirect shooting method is described. It provides paths for which the final speed is higher than the one obtained by a current common closed-loop method.

Design of optimal central guidance of an underwater vehicle in the modeled ship wake
The purpose of this paper is to provide a new algorithm for guidance of an underwater vehicle to reach its target, and demonstrate its effectiveness by simulation with a computer code. The meant of target in here is to chase a ship on the surface of the water. In order to do this, one of the most effective methods is to follow the ship wake which produced behind it. Disadvantages of wake guidan...
متن کاملOptimal Sliding-Mode Guidance Law for Fixed-Interval Propulsive Maneuvers
An optimal strategy based on minimum effort control and also with terminal positionconstraint is developed for an exoatmospheric interceptor with a fixed- interval guidance time. It isthen integrated with sliding-mode control theory to drive an optimal sliding-mode guidance law forfixed-interval guidance time. In addition, this guidance law is generalized for intercepting anarbitrarily time-var...
متن کاملComparison of Guidance Modes for the AUV "Slocum Glider" in Time-Varying Ocean Flows
This paper presents possibilities for the reliable guidance of an AUV “Slocum Glider” in time-varying ocean flows. The presented guidance modes consider the restricted information during a real mission about the actual position and ocean current conditions as well as the available control modes of a glider. A faster-than-real-time, full software stack simulator for the Slocum glider will be des...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of hydrodynamic properties of Alex type gliders
Simulation of an underwater glider to investigate the effect of angle of attack on the hydrodynamic coefficients such as lift, drag, and torque. Due to the vital role of these coefficients in designing the controllers of a glider and to obtain an accurate result, this simulation has been studied at a range of operating velocities. The total length of the underwater glider with two wings is 900 ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Improvement of underwater glider by Computational Fluid Dynamics method
Gliders are new marine vehicles which have research and military uses and they move by sequent diving and climbing. Suitable design of its main body and wings are important for the most advance velocity. hydrodynamic design variables are main body form, wings (cross section, dimensions, shape, longitudinal and vertical position) and hydrostatic parameters (static trim angle, amount of added for...
