SUMMARY:Rendezvous Guidance with Application to Civil Autonomous Aerial Ref
 ueling
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Alexander Tsukerman\n Faculty:Technion Autonomous Syst
 ems Program (TASP)\n Institute:Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
 \n Location:Classroom 165\, ground floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom
 : \n Abstract: \n Details: \n The futuristic concept of civil autonomous a
 erial refueling using the Boom-Receptacle system\, demands new operational
  paradigms. Requirements\, such as passenger comfort\, demand that the Tan
 ker aircraft will approach the Receiver aircraft\, unlike the well-practic
 ed manual military procedure today. In this paper\, optimal guidance laws 
 are developed and analyzed. The purpose of the guidance law is to steer th
 e Tanker aircraft from its initial offset relative to the Receiver aircra
 ft\, until reaching the predefined flight course\, path and separation.\nI
 nspired by missile intercept problems\, a linear quadratic optimal control
  problem with terminal intercept angle\, and intercept angular rate constr
 aints is posed. The goal is achieved by reducing the relative separation a
 nd aligning the velocity vector of both aircraft at the end of the maneuve
 r. Two different guidance laws are presented. The first is based on the 
 separated guidance and control design methodology. The guidance portion is
  derived based on a first-order lag autopilot model. The second is based o
 n a more detailed model of the Tanker aircraft. The problem is formulated 
 so that the coupling between the relative kinematics and the dynamic model
  of the Tanker airframe is taken into account\, yielding an integrated gui
 dance and control architecture. The ability to achieve mid-air rendezvous 
 is demonstrated using numerical simulations and performance is evaluated.
