    Non-Fragile Prescribed Performance Control of Waverider Vehicle
    Xiang-wei BU, Bao-xu JIANG

    A new non-fragile prescribed performance control (PPC) protocol without any online learning parameter is proposed for the waverider vehicle (WV) to address the problems of existing PPC methods with a large amount of online learning and obvious fragility defects. By designing a new type of performance functions with re-adjusting function, the low-complexity-based control laws are developed for the velocity subsystem and the altitude subsystem of WV, and the problem of “explosion of terms” inherent to back-stepping is avoided. The stability of closed-loop system and the guarantee of prescribed performance are proved based on Lyapunov synthesis. Compared with the existing PPC, the improvement of the proposed method is that the constructed prescribed envelope is capable of actively adjusting its shape according to the error fluctuation caused by sudden disturbances, which avoids the possible control singular problem and makes up for the fragility defect of the existing PPC. The effectiveness and advantage of the addressed method are verified via compared numerical simulation.

    In order to improve the scientific nature of index weighting in radar equipment reliability evaluation, in view of the problem of subjective weighting method relies too much on individual experience, and objective weighting method collects less data, resulting in inaccurate objective weighting results, the improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method are used to assign the indexes to the subjective and objective weights respectively. The least square method is used to couple the subjective and objective weights, and the Lagrange method is used to solve the model, which effectively avoids the limitation of single weight. The feasibility of the method is verified by an example.

    In order to clarify a defensive party’s understanding of the threat of incoming hypersonic cruise missiles(HCMs) in near space and improve the existing missile defense strategy, the characteristics between HCM and cruise missile are compared and analyzed from the perspective of early warning system. By establishing target motion model, infrared detection model and radar detection model with moderate particle size, the influence of the cruising altitude and flying speed of the two kinds of targets on the ground-based early warning system and the infrared detectability are analyzed in detail and quantitatively. The results of comparative analysis show that the detection range of HCMs provided by the infrared detector is longer due to its stronger infrared radiation intensity. Although HCMs are faster than cruise missiles, the early warning time provided by the ground-based radar of HCMs with the same downrange is longer because of its higher altitude.
