This book was released on 1993 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parameter estimation methods were used to obtain estimates of stability and control derivatives for the Marine Corps BQM-147 Unmanned Air Vehicle. The results from a simple, PC-based linear model and those from a more robust non-linear model, pEst, were compared. A Cramer-Rao bound was used to assess the accuracy of the estimates for both methods. The bounds were high for both the longitudinal case and the lateral-directional case due to the limited maneuvers tested, high levels of noise in the same general frequency range as the control input, and the lack of body-angle data. The linear model failed to provide estimates for the lateral-directional case. Though the results may be used as starting points for a dynamic model of the aircraft it is recommended that the flight test procedures be modified to address the issues raised concerning noise, recorded signals and the need for repeated maneuvers.

This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses state estimation and control procedures for a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The authors consider the use of robust adaptive Kalman filter algorithms and demonstrate their advantages over the optimal Kalman filter in the context of the difficult and varied environments in which UAVs may be employed. Fault detection and isolation (FDI) and data fusion for UAV air-data systems are also investigated, and control algorithms, including the classical, optimal, and fuzzy controllers, are given for the UAV. The performance of different control methods is investigated and the results compared. State Estimation and Control of Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles covers all the important issues for designing a guidance, navigation and control (GNC) system of a low-cost UAV. It proposes significant new approaches that can be exploited by GNC system designers in the future and also reviews the current literature. The state estimation, control and FDI methods are illustrated by examples and MATLAB® simulations. State Estimation and Control of Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles will be of interest to both researchers in academia and professional engineers in the aerospace industry. Graduate students may also find it useful, and some sections are suitable for an undergraduate readership.

Book excerpt: Pt. 1 examines the practical application of parameter estimation methodology to the problem of estimating aircraft stability and control derivatives from flight test data. The primary purpose is to present a comprehensive and unified picture of the entire parameter estimation process and its integration into a flight test program. Pt. 2 covers areas such as flight path reconstruction, nonlinear model identification, optimal input design and flight test instrumentation. This approach is referred to as the Two-Step Method (TSM), also known as Estimation Before Modelling (EBM) in the literature. It will be shown that this approach has significant practical advantages over methods which no attempt is made to decompose the joint parameter-state estimation problem. The two-step method is generally applicable to flight vehicles such as fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft which are equipped with state of the art inertial reference systems.

This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real-time, frequency-domain, equation-error parameter identification (PID) technique was used to estimate stability and control derivatives from flight data. This technique is being studied to support adaptive control system concepts currently being developed by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), academia, and industry. This report describes the basic real-time algorithm used for this study and implementation issues for onboard usage as part of an indirect-adaptive control system. A confidence measures system for automated evaluation of PID results is discussed. Results calculated using flight data from a modified F-15 aircraft are presented. Test maneuvers included pilot input doublets and automated inputs at several flight conditions. Estimated derivatives are compared to aerodynamic model predictions. Data indicate that the real-time PID used for this study performs well enough to be used for onboard parameter estimation. For suitable test inputs, the parameter estimates converged rapidly to sufficient levels of accuracy. The devised confidence measures used were moderately successful.Smith, Mark S. and Moes, Timothy R. and Morelli, Eugene A.Armstrong Flight Research Center; Langley Research CenterF-15 AIRCRAFT; PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION; REAL TIME OPERATION; STABILITY DERIVATIVES; CONTROL STABILITY; CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN; FREQUENCY DOMAIN ANALYSIS; FLIGHT CONDITIONS; INDUSTRIES; NASA PROGRAMS; FOURIER TRANSFORMATION; REGRESSION ANALYSIS; ALGORITHMS; ERROR ANALYSIS; ONBOARD DATA PROCESSING
