Abstract

This paper investigates the approaching control problem of a receiver unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the presence of vortex induced by tanker aircraft/UAV during boom refueling. Sliding mode control and adaptive control are incorporated into the backstepping control architecture in each step to develop the controller for the attitude subsystem and velocity subsystem. The upper bounds of the vortex induced by the tanker aircraft are estimated with the adaptive law. To eliminate the inherent problem of "explosion of complexity" in the backstepping architecture, the dynamic surface control (DSC) is investigated to construct the controller. Furthermore, it is proved that the proposed controller can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
