    Inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an important component of anti-aircraft missiles and its state is mainly attained from periodical manual testing, which is not effcient. Aiming at reducing the dependence on periodical testing, time series prediction methods are developed to predict part of the states of IMU by processing existing data. Under the consideration of the small sample size, overlapping segmentation averaging is used for data processing to reduce feature dimension and training difficulty. Long short term memory network (LSTM) is used for subsequent time series prediction. The effect of the proposed model is validated through practical data, which attains a high prediction accuracy while taking little time consumption.

    Regarding the issue of high angular velocity damping in satellites, a velocity damping strategy using attitude control thrusters is studied, which is token into account the design principles of fewer startup times and longer startup times for attitude control thrusters. A collaborative damping strategy is proposed, which combines the three-axis simultaneous damping method with the single axis sequential damping method. When the angular velocity of any two axes of the satellite exceeds the set angular velocity threshold, a Schmidt trigger is used for three-axis simultaneous damping to achieve effective damping of the satellite's large angular velocity. On the contrary, single axis damping is used in order of angular velocity to reduce the number of times that the thruster is turned on or off. The numerical simulation results show that the collaborative damping strategy can effectively achieve satellite high angular rate damping and effectively reduce the number and duration of thruster startup.

A resource efficient attitude safety control scheme is proposed, which aims to cut off all potential fault sources as much as possible when diagnostic information is not in complete.

Based on second-order system consistency theory of virtual leader, a distributed formation keeping and control algorithm switching of adjustable assembly time is proposed by selecting optimal coordination variables and introducing a special transition link. The altitude of multi-vehicles are allowed to be changed in a certain range by using this proposed solution that considers the flight ability under the restraint of multi-vehicles formation mission and then realizes the accurate online control of the relative transverse and longitudinal range. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve the desired control effect in scenarios of formation assembly and keeping, formation configuration switching and formation lateral maneuver. The algorithm takes into account the effects of the earths curvature and rotation on the reentry dynamics, and can adapt to random aerodynamic coefficients and atmosphere density pulling by good robustness.

    In order to solve the problem of positioning and reliable recovery of some important structures of aircraft after flight test, a highly reliable positioning system based on Beidou and GPS dual-mode module is designed. The system uses the BDM 910 module integrated with GPS/RNSS (Radio navigation satellite system) module and RDSS (Radio determination satellite system) module as the core positioning device is used in the system, and the BDS (Beidou navigation satellite system) frequency point and GPS frequency point navigation messages are received through dual links and four antennas redundancy. While effective satellite navigation signals are captured, the system own position information is resoved in real time. The location information is sent to the search device in real time in the form of Beidou short message, and the landing point coordinates of the aircraft are finally determined. The problem of positioning and recovery of relevant important structures is solved in the flight test in a complex environment. The positioning system has the ability to analyze the positioning data and the communication information of the positioning device in real time, the data analysis rate is less than 5 s, the positioning accuracy is less than 10 m, the communication success rate is more than 95%, the system is continuously running and lasts more than 4 hours, and the positioning is highly reliable.

    Aiming at the strong coupling, nonlinearity and severe aerodynamic parameter variations under the complex environment of vehicles, an active disturbance rejection controller design method based on the dragonfly algorithm is proposed. Firstly, a mathematical model based on the three-channel powerless reentry process of vehicles is established. The extended state observer is used to estimate the system state and total disturbance, and then the observed disturbance is compensated. The dragonfly algorithm is employed to optimize the parameters of the active disturbance rejection controller. Finally, validation is shown through a vehicle simulation of six-degree-of-freedom. The results show that the optimized controller parameters have better control accuracy and maintain good control performance even under significant aerodynamic parameter deviations.

    A dual-arm space robot finite time compliant capture strategy for non-cooperative targets is proposed. Firstly, the end-effector dynamic model of generalized coordinates presented by end-effector pose degree of freedom based on the free-floating space manipulator is established. On the basis of this, a global fast non-singular terminal sliding mode controller has been designed to achieve the finite-time trajectory tracking control of the end-effector. Furthermore, a three-fingered end-gripper mechanism has been introduced and a sub-system dynamic model consists of the end-effector and the target has been established. Based on this model, a composite compliant grasping control strategy has been designed, which is based on the compliant control theory to resolve the compliant grasping control of the end-effector towards the target. The simulation results show that the compliant capture of a tumbling target by a dual-arm space manipulator can be achieved by the proposed control strategy.

    Aiming at the multi-constraint and strongly time-varying problems of high-speed aircraft during re-entry gliding, this paper combines the online autonomous decision-making advantages of the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm to generate avoidance strategies in real time based on threat zone information for dynamic no-fly zone avoidance trajectory planning. In order to further enhance the anti-interference ability of high-speed aircraft to environmental uncertainties, a set of route feature points is selected based on the avoidance trajectory, and a online predictor-corrector guidance method is used to correct the flight status of the high-speed aircraft in real time according to flight mission requirements and terminal constraints, and finally achieve precise guidance of high-speed aircraft. At the same time, in order to verify the effectiveness of the method, this paper carried out corresponding numerical simulation analysis. The results show that the method proposed in this paper can effectively avoid no-fly zones and enhance the adaptability to uncertain factors, and has certain engineering application value.

    In order to solve the path planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in three-dimensional space under threats, an improved snake optimization (ISO) algorithm is proposed for the challenging optimization of UAVs path planning in three-dimensional complex environments. Firstly, the total cost function including range, threat, altitude and smoothing costs is established, and the path planning of UAVs is transformed into an optimization issue that takes into account the safe operation requirements of UAV. In the framework of snake optimization (SO), Tent chaotic map is used to initialize the population, and the temperature threshold is dynamically adjusted to improve the local optimization ability of the algorithm, and Lévy flight strategy is introduced in the exploitation phase to improve the global optimization ability of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the ISO algorithm is superior to the SO algorithm by solving the path planning of UAVs.

    Aiming at the problem of multi-aircraft game confrontation under the condition of network communication delay, a cooperative differential guidance law is proposed. Firstly, based on the differential countermeasure theory on the basis of the traditional norm-type performance index, the weight coefficient is designed to increase the weight coefficient and a collaborative differential guidance method is derived underbang-bangstructure. Secondly, by considering the time delay in the network communication among interceptors, the target acceleration value obtained is an attainable domain instead of an accurate value, and the target acceleration range can be reduced by introducing the observed target acceleration direction information, and the error between the target acceleration and the target actual acceleration can be reduced, thus, the guidance precision of the interceptor is improved. Finally, numerical simulation is implemented to verify the effectiveness of this algorithm, and the simulation results show that this guidance law does not need to assume the maneuvering law of the target in advance and can effectively intercept the maneuvering target under the information time delay.
