Research on Backstepping Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control of Hypersonic Vehicle

Abstract

In this paper, the velocity and altitude control problem of hypersonic vehicles is studied. Aiming at the nonlinear parameter uncertainties, external disturbances and coupling of the hypersonic vehicle system, a control method combining backstepping control with linear active disturbance rejection control is proposed. The backstepping control solves the coupling of the system and transforms the longitudinal dynamic model of the hypersonic vehicle into the form of strict feedback, which is divided into the altitude subsystem and velocity subsystem. The linear extension state observer (LESO) can observe parameter uncertainty disturbance and external disturbance. At the same time, the stability of the system is proved by Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed controller is verified by numerical simulation and comparison with classical PID control.
