Analytical Synthesis

. The problem of analytical synthesis of the control acceleration for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during its flight along a complex trajectory, consisting of sequentially located horizontal flight sections, located at different heights relative to the earth's surface has been solved in the paper. The problem has been solved as an analytical definition of the  optimal control of a linear non-stationary system for a specified minimized quality functional. The mathematical model  of the system is presented in the form of differential equations of UAV motion in the vertical plane of a fixed coordinate  system related to the earth's surface. A feature of the proposed methodology for solving the problem is the substantiation  of the original form of the minimized functional and parameters included in the law of variation of the control acceleration obtained by known methods. As the components of the quality functional, the values of coordinates and velocity of the UAV are considered and they are specified at the corresponding points in space through which the UAV path must pass, in order  to obtain the optimal curvature of the trajectory. The derived mathematical dependences make it possible to implement them on board of an aircraft and, ultimately, solve the problem of ensuring the minimum energy consumption when controlling  an object (UAV). Computer simulation of the analytically obtained results in the form of the UAV flight trajectory and  the processes of changing its acceleration and speed have shown the efficiency of the proposed technique and the prospects  of its use at the initial stage of the synthesis of the UAV control system.

Considered the problem of flying over restricted areas by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which have various shapes and restrictions, set on the basis of the international airspace classification system for aviation in accordance with the Chicago Convention and the recommended principles for the formation of forbidden zones, rules for creating a flight route along forbidden zones and actions in case of border violations of restricted areas. The problem of analytical synthesis of the control acceleration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is solved during its flight along a route passing along the boundaries of the forbidden zone of a given shape, along a given trajectory, which consists of subsequent segments located at the same height relative to the earth’s surface, in a given coordinate system. The optimal control synthesis problem is solved as an analytical definition of the optimal control of a linear non-stationary system based on the quadratic quality functional. A mathematical model of UAV motion in the horizontal plane is proposed, in the form of a system of ordinary differential equations in the Cauchy form. A law for measuring the control acceleration of the UAV’s center of mass is obtained on the basis of specifying the minimized quality functional and the corresponding constraints, which is a feature of the considered method of solving the problem. The proposed quality functional takes into account the parameters of coordinates and speed of the UAV, which correspond to the given points in the airspace, which characterize the necessary trajectory for flying around the restricted area. The derived mathematical dependences make it possible to implement them on board a UAV and minimize energy costs when guiding a UAV moving through specified points in space. Computer modeling of the derived analytical results, mathematical dependencies representing the optimal trajectory of the UAV flight along the boundaries of the forbidden zone, as well as the corresponding processes of changing the control acceleration and speed of the UAV movement was carried out, which made it possible to draw conclusions about the efficiency of the proposed method and the feasibility of its further use as a basis. for the initial stage of the synthesis of the UAV control system.

Quality Of Coverage

Area monitoring and surveillance are some of the main applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. The scientific problem that arises from this application concerns the way the area must be covered to fulfill the mission requirements. One of the main challenges is to determine the paths for the UAVs that optimize the usage of resources while minimizing the mission time. Different approaches rely on area partitioning strategies. Depending on the size and complexity of the area to monitor, it is possible to decompose it exactly or approximately. This paper proposes a partitioning method called Parallel Partitioning along a Side (PPS). In the proposed method, grid-mapping and grid-subdivision of the area, as well as area partitioning are performed to plan the UAVs path. An extra challenge, also tackled in this work, is the presence of non-flying zones (NFZs). These zones are areas that UAVs must not cover or pass over it. The proposal is extensively evaluated, in comparison with existing approaches, to show that it enables UAVs to plan paths with minimum energy consumption, number of turns and completion time while at the same time increases the quality of coverage.

Resource Allocation Scheme

In this paper, we consider a ground terminal (GT) to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless communication system where data from GTs are collected by an unmanned aerial vehicle. We propose to use the ground terminal-UAV (G-U) region for the energy consumption model. In particular, to fulfill the data collection task with a minimum energy both of the GTs and UAV, an algorithm that combines optimal trajectory design and resource allocation scheme is proposed which is supposed to solve the optimization problem approximately. We initialize the UAV’s trajectory firstly. Then, the optimal UAV trajectory and GT’s resource allocation are obtained by using the successive convex optimization and Lagrange duality. Moreover, we come up with an efficient algorithm aimed to find an approximate solution by jointly optimizing trajectory and resource allocation. Numerical results show that the proposed solution is efficient. Compared with the benchmark scheme which did not adopt optimizing trajectory, the solution we propose engenders significant performance in energy efficiency.

The paper considers the solutions to the multicriteria problem of optimizing the wing airfoil of a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) under various constraints. The study introduces the statement of the problem of multicriteria optimization of the airfoil shape, following the condition of MUAV horizontal flight, with an additional condition associated with a change in the flight Reynolds number of the MUAV wing. This statement of the problem allows us to optimize the airfoil, taking into account the load on the wing of the designed vehicle. The wing airfoil was optimized in a wide range of lift coefficients of Cya and Reynolds numbers. The study shows that taking into account the Reynolds number makes it possible to improve the quality of the result obtained during optimization, and introduces a technique for multicriteria optimization of the wing airfoil with sealed mechanization, i.e. with flaperon. Findings of research show that for equal values of the relative thickness, the mechanized airfoil obtained as a result of optimization has a lower center line camber (by 1.5%) than the optimized airfoil without mechanization, due to which a gain in the drag coefficient is achieved at close to zero values of the lift coefficient. The study shows how profitable the use of a wing airfoil with a flaperon on MUAV wings can be, in contrast to an airfoil without mechanization.

The purpose of the scientific research, results are determinated in the article, is to analytically synthesize the control law of an unmanned aerial vehicle while guiding one along the trajectory that specified by the reference points of space in an inertial coordinate system. The analysis of various existing approaches of the formation of a given flight path of an unmanned aerial vehicle based on various mathematical formulations of the problem is carried out. To achieve the goal, the flight path is considered as separate intervals, where the control optimization problem is solved. The optimization criterion in general form is substantiated and its presentation in the form of a minimized quadratic quality functional is convenient for analytical control synthesis. As components of the functional, the parameters of the deviation of the flight path of the aircraft from the specified points of space are considered, as well as the predicted parameters of the velocity vector and the control normal acceleration. Moreover, at each specified point in space, the direction of the trajectory to the subsequent point is taken into account, that ensures optimal curvature of the trajectory by specified flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle. As a result of analytical synthesis, mathematical dependences are obtained to determine control acceleration, which allow us to get a specified optimal control law on board an unmanned aerial vehicle, which ultimately ensures minimum energy consumption. The validity of the proposed theoretical provisions is confirmed by a clear example, where for a simplified mathematical problem statement the optimal laws of change in control acceleration and the trajectory parameters of an unmanned aerial vehicle are calculated by computer simulation.

The problem of determining the shape and parameters of a mathematical model in the form of a transfer function for the movement of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the vertical plane of space is solved. The angle of deviation of the Elevator is considered as the input signal, and the pitch angle of the UAV is considered as the output signal. We use the results of experimental studies of UAV flight, which are considered as known values of input and output signals under specified flight conditions. The measured discrete values of the experimental results are approximated by a fourth-order polynomial based on regression analysis for ease of use in identification. The analytical substantiation of the need to apply the methods of linearization of the mathematical model of UAV movement and the accepted assumptions for obtaining differential equations of UAV movement relative to the center of mass, allowing to synthesize the required transfer function of the corresponding element of the UAV control system. The results of computer modeling confirmed the validity of the synthesized mathematical model obtained on the basis of structural and parametric identification. This approach can be used to obtain simplified mathematical models that are used to solve problems of synthesis and optimization of control systems not only for UAVS, but also for other dynamic objects.

Animal World

In flying animal world, there are different flapping motions to produce lift and thrust depending on their species and size. Recent development in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle had tried to mimic flying animal. Rather than having two separate systems in providing lift and thrust, the wing upstroke and downstroke movement combined with wing twisting produce the necessary lift and thrust. Insects and some small birds have even the ability to fly hover.The present study is focused on the modeling of wing flapping motion. Instead of only accommodating flapping motion in a vertical plane and spanwise pitching motion, the model permits to include wing lead-lag motion in the horizontal plane. This more degree of freedom permit to model more complex wing flapping motion.

This chapter describes two practical examples of sensors application on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The first device is a proximity sensor allowing users to measure the rotating angle of UAV's elevator. The second example discovers a measuring unit established on the UAV and processed measuring information for landing the UAV. To perform exactness control of unmanned aerial vehicles actuating mechanisms, the control system must be supplied by devices providing precision definition of values of current operation factors of those mechanisms.
