Michigan/Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Collaborative Center in Control Science (MACCCS)
Abstract
The mission of the Michigan/AFRL Collaborative Center in Control Science (MACCCS) was to establish, sustain and amplify an internationally recognized center of excellence in control science research and education, through interaction between the faculty and students at the participating universities, and AFRL. Concentration areas were: 1. Cooperative Control of Unmanned Air Vehicles (C2UAV): i) design, modeling, analysis and control of flapping wing vehicles for collaborative UAV missions; ii) supervision and control of cooperative heterogeneous systems; iii) distributed, dynamic, sequential, combinatorial and/or stochastic mission planning; and iv) path planning and flight control to achieve autonomy in contested environments. 2. Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicles (ABHV): i) development of simple low-order models that characterize the main aerothermoelastic effects coupled with propulsion; ii) vehicle configuration to improve dynamic controllability without compromising performance; iii) operability limits, controllability and uncertainty input to an adaptive control model of hypersonic vehicles; and iv) adaptive control of hypersonic vehicles.
