INTEGRAL-ADAPTIVE AUTOPILOT AS A MEANS OF INTELLECTUALIZING A MODERN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Introduction. At present unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are successfully used in various industries in performing scientific and engineering, economical, military and a number of other missions. Effectiveness of their functioning is mainly determined by an onboard suit of hardware and software of a UAV’s control system. The process of the existing autopilot systems enhancement is intended to broaden the range of UAV’s tasks without direct human involvement and introduce additional smart functions into autopilot operation.

Purpose. The aim of research is to study the modern algorithms used in autopilots of unmanned aerial vehicles and formulation of the problem of development and usage of new intellectual methods for automatic control systems.

Results. The approach considered in the article is based on the theory of high-precision remote control of dynamic objects and on the complex interaction of methods of theory of invariance, adaptive control and intellectualization of processes of UAV control.

One of the features of the proposed method of intellectual control for unmanned aerial vehicle autopilot is the procedure of transforming a multi-dimensional system into an aggregate of virtual autonomous processes, for each of which the control algorithm is easily generated by an autonomous subsystem. Coming up next is the procedure of coordination of actions of all the autonomous systems into single functioning complex. This provides an opportunity to improved precision and sustainability of control.

Conclusion. Using the method described in the article allows creating integral and adaptive autopilots to perform complicated spatial maneuvering an unmanned aerial vehicle being based on usage of full non-linear models without simplifications and linearization.

Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicle, control system, virtual control, adaptation invariance.

INTELLIGENT CONTROL: APPROACHES, RESULTS AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT

Introduction. Intelligent control systems are advanced computerized systems aimed at the modeling and analysis of intelligent tasks as well as the support of human activity in their solving. Therefore, consideration of both conceptual and applied issues of such systems’ development is an important and urgent scientific problem.

The purpose of the paper is to examine existing approaches, current state, important results and prospects for future development of such new scientific direction as intelligent control.

Methods. Artificial intelligence methods, man-machine theory, conflict resolution theory, theory of deterministic chaos, methods of decision support, methods of distributed control of non-linear applied processes.

Results. One may stress two main directions in the field of intelligent control where promising results have been achieved. The first one, related to the creation of intelligent infrastructure, includes development of methods and structures of distributed control as well as examination of non-linear applied processes in objects with variable properties. The second direction, attributed to the creation of intelligent agents, includes elaboration of methods, models and algorithms for real-time decisions related to the efficient control of dynamic objects.

Conclusion. Modern systems of intelligent control should integrate into a single unity three main components such as: traditional control methods, artificial intelligence theory and decision making approach. The main problem is the transformation of conceptual issues of intelligent systems’ creation into concrete technologies and algorithms of control in specific application domains.

Keywords: intelligent control, human-machine system, conflicts theory, non-linearity, uncertainty, net-centricity.

Introduction. The problem of increasing network performance is very relevant. In practice, the actual speed of data transmission / receiving is significantly lower than the bit rate supported by used network technology. The actual wireless network bandwidth depends on the used technology, the number of subscribers in the network, length and quality of communication channels, electromagnetic interference, weather, network equipment, protocols and many other factors.

The purpose. The project is based on applied research in the field of high-speed cycles control systems for net-centric dynamic application processes with spatially-distributed interrelated functional components. Thus it provides functional and temporal combination of internal resources of net-centric distributed control systems with objects and technological processes on the basis of shared use of dynamics models working in an accelerated time scale into a single space-time net-centric complex.

Results. To solve the problem of determining the quality of the data transfer process in order to further control and manage this process, a method which is based on software that works with any standardized computing environment was developed. This method detects and evaluates the operating parameters of the wired Internet network before, during and after transmission of the information data packets provides analytical (numerical values of time delay of packet transmission, the percentage of lost data, signal quality, transmission speed and receive speed) and graphic parameters to control information transmission routes. This paper provides the results of computer simulation which are represent the network connection quality.

Conclusion. Development a method for determining the quality of information data transmission via a wireless connection, also as a creating programs for protection against unauthorized network access — are a perspective research objectives. Results of simulations confirm the appropriateness of using the given method of data transfer control in the terrestrial wired data transmission systems and the need to develop such technology for wireless connection.

INVARIANT NET-CENTRIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONFLICT AVOIDANCE OF AIRCRAFTS IN THE LANDING PHASE

Introduction. The question of the need to create a control system of conflict situations between the aircrafts in the landing phase is discusses.

The purpose of this research is to create a method and system of conflict resolution between the aircrafts on the route of flight, takeoff and landing phases with the condition to provide a high and guaranteed level of flight safety. The approach considered in the article will be based on the principles of using the network-centric technologies and the theory of invariance.
