High-Performance and Reliable Automated Carrier Landing via CFD-Based Model Predictive Control
Abstract
This basic research proposal is responsive to Technology Focus Area IV.2. Specifically, itsgoal is to enable the high~performance a"nd reliable control of fixed~wing Unmanned AerialVehicles (UAV) during automated carrier landing operations. High~performance refers hereto improved landing performance with respect to current piloted landings along three maindimensions: (1) touchdown performan"ce (e.g., reduced sink rate), (2) landing performance(e.g., minimal landing dispersion), and (3) operational performance (e.g., lan"ding in thepresence of significant wind turbulence). Reliable refers to correctness guarantees for thecontrol algorithms in terms" of (1) optimality of the trajectory generation/tracking process,(2) real~time computational guarantees, and (3) robustness to mode"ling errors.
