Abstract
Keywords
The article addresses the problem of automatic control of
unmanned airial vehicle at the stage of rendezvous and
docking during the process of inflight refueling. First, we
give the features of inflight refueling and the structure of
automatic control algorithms which we developed. Then, we
show how to form the required control loop quality indica-
tors based on the successful docking demand. Next, we
describe the application of L1-adaptive approaches in the
control loop and the procedure of the automatic control law
design, considering the specifics of an inflight refueling task.
Finally, the simulation results bring us to the conclusion that
the presented control algorithm provides the required quali-
ty of transient processes, even under the essential disturb-
ances. The prospect of this study is to develop an algorithm
that provides automatic control in the process of fuel transfer
from a tanker to refuel the UAV and subsequent undocking
