Abstract

Autonomous aerial refueling autopilot design is addressed in this paper using a novel L1 neural network based adaptive control approach, which is capable of accommodating trailing vortex induced uncertainties and uncertainties in control effectiveness. The main advantage of the new approach is its ability of fast adaptation that leads to uniform transient performance for system's both signals, input and output simultaneously, with guaranteed performance specifications. Simulation results verify the benefit of this new approach.
