The Domain Identification of an Optimal Control Pilot Model with Emphasis on the Objective Function,
Abstract
This paper proposes a method for the identification of the pilot's control compensation using time domain techniques. From this information we hope to infer a quadratic cost function, supported by the data, that represents a reasonable expression for the pilot's control objective in the task being performed, or an inferred piloting strategy . The ultimate goals of this research topic include a better understanding of the fundamental piloting techniques in complex tasks, such as landing approach; the development of a metric measurable in simulations and flight test that correlate with subjective pilot opinion; and to further validate pilot models and pilot-vehicle analysis methods. At this time we will present the methodology and some preliminary numerical results.
