Abstract

The problem of autonomous aerial refueling autopilot design is considered using techniques from differential games and adaptive control. A closed-loop linear reference model is built using a differential game approach. This way derived optimal control is augmented with an adaptive signal for compensation of vortex induced uncertainties.
