    Optimal three-dimensional impact time guidance with seeker's field-of-view constraint

    No full text
    This paper proposes a new three-dimensional optimal guidance law for impact time control with seeker's Field-of-View (FOV) constraint to intercept a stationary target. The proposed guidance law is devised in conjunction with the concept of biased Proportional Navigation Guidance (PNG). The guidance law developed leverages a nonlinear function to ensure the boundedness of velocity lead angle to cater to the seeker's FOV limit. It is proven that the impact time error is nullified in a finite-time under the proposed method. Additionally, the optimality of the biased command is theoretically analyzed. Numerical simulations confirm the superiority of the proposed method and validate the analytic findings. © 2020 Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics

    Three-dimensional biased proportional navigation guidance based on spatial rotation of predicted final velocity

    No full text
    This study presents the design of three-dimensional biased proportional navigation guidance laws for arrival at a stationary target along a desired direction based on spatial rotation of predicted final velocity vector. The focus is on full constructive derivation using vector-form expressions without introducing local representation of rotation such as Euler angles or quaternions. The proposed approach synthesises the bias command in the form of an angular velocity vector through realisation of the predictive control design philosophy, the direction which has been unexplored in a three-dimensional setting. The proposed approach avoids heuristic choices and approximations in the design process and hence overcomes the limitation of earlier studies. The vector-form design approach provides theoretical and practical advantages including rigour in derivation, clear geometric understandings about the problem provided by identification of the most effective direction for rotation of final velocity, independence from selection of a fixed coordinate system, avoidance of singularities in local representations, more direct trajectory shaping, and simple implementation

    Energy-optimal waypoint-following guidance considering autopilot dynamics

    No full text
    This paper addresses the problem of energy-optimal waypoint-following guidance for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with the consideration of a general autopilot dynamics model. The proposed guidance law is derived as a solution of a linear quadratic optimal control problem in conjunction with a linearized kinematics model. The algorithm developed integrates path planning and following into a single step and is able to be applied to a general waypoint-following mission. Theoretical analysis reveals that previously suggested optimal point-to-point guidance laws are special cases of the proposed approach. Nonlinear numerical simulations clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed formulations

    Minimum-effort waypoint-following guidance

    This paper addresses the problem of minimum-effortwaypoint-following guidance with/without arrival angle constraints of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. By utilizing a linearized kinematics model, the proposed guidance laws are derived as the solutions of a linear quadratic optimal control problem with an arbitrary number of terminal boundary constraints. Theoretical analysis reveals that both optimal proportional navigation guidance and trajectory shaping guidance are special cases of the proposed guidance laws. The key feature of the proposed algorithms lies in their generic property. For this reason, the guidance laws developed can be applied to general waypoint-following missions with an arbitrary number of waypoints and an arbitrary number of arrival angle constraints. Nonlinear numerical simulations clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed formulations

    The general anesthesia experience of deletion 8p syndrome patient

    No full text
    A deletion 8p syndrome is a relatively uncommon congenital disease characterized by mental retardation associated with multiple malformation that make anesthetic management a challenge. Anesthetic management of a patient with deletion 8p syndrome may pose a serious problem mainly from difficult tracheal intubation, aspiration complication and cardiac malformation. We experienced a case of 10 year-old boy with a deletion 8p syndrome who underwent appendectomy under the general anesthesia. Intubation was performed by video glidescope after unsuccessful attempt with Macintosh laryngoscope. A high arched palate, short neck, poor patient cooperation due to mental retardation and occasional autistic behaviour made airway management difficult. This case should alert anesthesiologists to the greater difficulties of managing patients with deletion 8p syndrome

    Review of data-driven computational guidance for unmanned aerospace vehicles

    No full text
    This paper explores the application of data-driven computational guidance in unmanned aerospace vehicles, emphasizing improving the optimality of guidance strategies through data-driven approaches. Unmanned aerospace vehicles are engineered to execute predetermined missions while adhering to a variety of physical and operational constraints. Both their design and operational strategies prioritize the efficient utilization of onboard resources. Data-driven methods can learn from data to develop well-trained neural networks that uncover underlying guidance patterns. These trained neural networks can rapidly generate optimal outputs in response to inputs with minimal computational cost. This characteristic of data-driven methods is particularly well-suited for guidance applications in scenarios with limited onboard computational resources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art achievements in data-driven computational guidance. Simultaneously, we categorize these advancements based on the role of neural networks within the guidance system, referring to them as neural-end-to-end computational guidance and neural-assisted fixed-structure guidance, respectively. Additionally, the paper highlights several open problems and potential future research directions.
