Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computationally efficient, real-time trajectory optimization and guidance approach for hypersonic aircraft is described. The optimization algorithms compute, in flight, minimum fuel trajectories within constraints from the current aircraft position to its final destination. In flight trajectory computation can provide a high degree of vehicle autonomy which could greatly reduce aircraft ground support costs. The optimization approach is based on Euler-Lagrange theory and energy-state approximations. A three-dimensional, spherical earth, aircraft motion model, with constraints on temperature, dynamic pressure and stall, is employed. An exact optimal iterative solution method and an approximate closed-form feedback solution method are developed. In the exact approach, solutions are computed By iteration on adjoint constants. Each iteration requires a complete forward trajectory integration. In the approximate closed-form feedback approach, the adjoint constants are expressed in terms of the states. No forward trajectory calculations are required, thus, the computations are minimal. Minimum-fuel climb to orbit, powered abort, and unpowered abort trajectories are computed with both methods. The approximate closed-form feedback solution closely matches the optimal iterative solution.

Book excerpt: This book focuses on the design and application of advanced trajectory optimization and guidance and control (G&C) techniques for aerospace vehicles. Part I of the book focuses on the introduction of constrained aerospace vehicle trajectory optimization problems, with particular emphasis on the design of high-fidelity trajectory optimization methods, heuristic optimization-based strategies, and fast convexification-based algorithms. In Part II, various optimization theory/artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods are constructed and presented, including dynamic programming-based methods, model predictive control-based methods, and deep neural network-based algorithms. Key aspects of the application of these approaches, such as their main advantages and inherent challenges, are detailed and discussed. Some practical implementation considerations are then summarized, together with a number of future research topics. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of practical issues in aerospace trajectory optimization and guidance and control problems is one of the main features of the book, which is particularly suitable for readers interested in learning practical solutions in aerospace trajectory optimization and guidance and control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computationally efficient real-time trajectory optimization and guidance approach for hypersonic aircraft is described. The optimization approach is based on Euler-Lagrange energy state approximations. A three-dimensional, spherical-earth, aircraft-motion model with constraints on temperature, dynamic pressure, acceleration, and angle of attack is employed. Climb-to-orbit, return-from-orbit, flight-to-designated-landing-site, unpowered-abort, and powered-abort flight conditions are considered. Different performance criterion are used for different problems. Solution methods of varying computational complexity and performance capability are developed. An exact solution to the optimization problem using iteration on adjoint variables is developed.

This book was released on 2018-07-08 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classes of neural networks have been developed for the study of hypersonic vehicle trajectory optimization and control. The first one is called an 'adaptive critic'. The uniqueness and main features of this approach are that: (1) they need no external training; (2) they allow variability of initial conditions; and (3) they can serve as feedback control. This is used to solve a 'free final time' two-point boundary value problem that maximizes the mass at the rocket burn-out while satisfying the pre-specified burn-out conditions in velocity, flightpath angle, and altitude. The second neural network is a recurrent network. An interesting feature of this network formulation is that when its inputs are the coefficients of the dynamics and control matrices, the network outputs are the Kalman sequences (with a quadratic cost function); the same network is also used for identifying the coefficients of the dynamics and control matrices. Consequently, we can use it to control a system whose parameters are uncertain. Numerical results are presented which illustrate the potential of these methods. Balakrishnan, S.

This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first step in the approach to developing guidance laws for a horizontal take-off, air breathing single-stage-to-orbit vehicle is to characterize the minimum-fuel ascent trajectories. The capability to generate constrained, minimum fuel ascent trajectories for a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle was developed. A key component of this capability is the general purpose trajectory optimization program OTIS. The pre-production version, OTIS 0.96 was installed and run on a Convex C-1. A propulsion model was developed covering the entire flight envelope of a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle. Three separate propulsion modes, corresponding to an after burning turbojet, a ramjet and a scramjet, are used in the air breathing propulsion phase. The Generic Hypersonic Aerodynamic Model Example aerodynamic model of a hypersonic air breathing single-stage-to-orbit vehicle was obtained and implemented. Preliminary results pertaining to the effects of variations in acceleration constraints, available thrust level and fuel specific impulse on the shape of the minimum-fuel ascent trajectories were obtained. The results show that, if the air breathing engines are sized for acceleration to orbital velocity, it is the acceleration constraint rather than the dynamic pressure constraint that is active during ascent.
