Abstract

This paper proposes a flight control system for an organic flight array(OFA) which has a new configuration to consist of multi modularized ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The OFA is able to apply to various missions such as indoor reconnaissance, communication relay, and radar jamming by using capability of hover flight. The OFA has a distinguished advantage due to reconfigurable structure to assemble or separate with respect to its missions or operational conditions. A dynamic modelling of the OFA is derived based on equations of motion of the single ducted-fan modules. In order to apply nonlinear control method, an affine system of attitude dynamics is derived. Moreover, the control system is composed of a back-stepping controller for attitude control and a PID controller for position control. Then the performance of the proposed controller is verified via a numerical simulation under wind disturbance.

본 연구에서는 재형상 특성을 지닌 유기적 비행 어레이의 비행 제어 시스템 설계에 대한 내용을 제안하였다. 단일 덕티드팬의 결합과 분리를 기반으로 구성되는 유기적 비행어레이는 주어진 임무나 주변 상황에 대해 유기적으로 어레이 형상을 변화시킬 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 이와 더불어 덕티드팬 비행체 기반이기 때문에 호버링이 가능하여 실내 정찰, 통신 중계, 레이더 재밍과 같은 미션에 유용하게 사용 된다. 비행 어레이의 동역학모델링은 단일 덕티드팬 비행체의 동역학 모델을 기반으로 구성되며, 비선형 제어기법을 적용하기 위해 어파인 형태의 동역학 식에 대한 유도를 수행한다. 비행체 자세 제어를 위해 Backstepping 제어기법을 적용하였으며 PID 제어기법을 통해 위치 제어 루프를 구현한다. 또한 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 된 제어기가 주어진 상황에서 충분한 성능을 보이는지를 검증하였다.
