This paper addresses the analytical formation control and cooperative guidance problem for multiple hypersonic gliding vehicles under distributed communication. The gliding flight of the hypersonic gliding vehicle is divided into formation control phase and time coordination phase. In formation control phase, based on the idea of path tracking, the formation controller is designed using the second-order consensus protocol with normal positions as the coordination variables. In time coordination phase, based on the quasi-equilibrium gliding condition and the assumption of uniform deceleration motion, the analytical expression of time to go is derived. Then, the cooperative guidance method is developed using the first-order consensus protocol with time to go as the coordination variable. The proposed method takes full consideration of the characteristics of hypersonic gliding vehicle, such as complex nonlinear dynamics, no thrust, and quasi-equilibrium gliding condition, and no online numerical iteration is needed, which is well applicable for hypersonic gliding vehicles. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the formation control and cooperative guidance method.

滑行车辆的分布式分析编队控制和协同制导

本文研究了分布式通信下多架超音速滑行飞行器的解析编队控制与协同制导问题。高超声速滑行飞行器的滑行飞行分为编队控制阶段和时间协调阶段。在编队控制阶段，基于路径跟踪的思想，使用常规位置作为协调变量的二阶共识协议设计编队控制器。在时间协调阶段，基于准平衡滑移条件和匀减速运动的假设，推导了走时的解析表达式。然后，使用一阶共识协议开发协作指导方法，并以时间作为协调变量。提出的方法充分考虑了高超声速滑行飞行器的特性，如复杂的非线性动力学，无推力和准平衡滑行条件，不需要在线数值迭代，非常适合高超声速滑行飞行器。仿真结果证明了编队控制与协同制导方法的有效性。
