To address the issue of challenge of rapid and accurate prediction of the trajectory terminal velocity by using offline trajectory optimization methods during unmanned vehicles operation under complex and strong interference, an integrated velocity prediction and control algorithm is proposed, which is based on the improved gated recurrent Unit neural network algorithm. The velocity prediction is based on the parameters of the neural network model trained by a trajectory data sample library, which takes an eleven-dimensional feature sequence including the target position, current altitude, velocity, ballistic angle and other relevant parameters as input of the network and the velocity at the final moment as the output, and yields a neural network model capable of predicting terminal velocity. Based on the velocity prediction results, a decoupling control scheme for velocity and position is employed for terminal velocity control. The predicted terminal state deviations are used to correct and generate closed-loop control inputs for terminal velocity regulation. In final stage, the designed velocity prediction and control method are validated through six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) ballistic simulations. The simulation results demonstrate that accurate and effective velocity prediction and control can be relatively achieved by using proposed algorithm applied to the terminal velocity under 6-DOF closed-loop state.
