Dynamic Surface Control of Constrained Hypersonic Flight Models with Parameter Estimation and Actuator Compensation

In this paper, the robust adaptive controller is investigated for the longitudinal dynamics of a generic hypersonic flight vehicle. The proposed methodology addresses the issue of controller design and stability analysis with respect to parametric model uncertainty and input saturations for the control‐oriented model. The velocity and attitude subsystems are transformed into the linearly parameterized form. Based on the parameter projection estimation, the dynamic inverse control is proposed via the back‐stepping scheme. In order to avoid the problem of “explosion of complexity,” by introducing a first‐order filtering of the synthetic input at each step, the dynamic surface control is designed. The closed‐loop system achieves uniform ultimately bounded stability. The compensation design is employed when the input saturations occur. Simulation results show that the proposed approach achieves good tracking performance.
