This paper proposes an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) scheme for automatic
carrier landing system (ACLS) in final approach. To track desired touchdown point (DTP) …

In recent years, satellite formation flying has become an increasingly hot topic for both the
astronomy and earth science communities due to its potential merits compared with a single …

In this paper, a novel control parameter design method is presented for the automatic carrier
landing system. To overcome difficulties in the manual parameter adjustment task, the …

The design of automatic carrier landing system is a crucial technique for carrier-based
aircraft, since it facilitates landing of aircraft on carriers in various severe weather conditions …

Pigeon-inspired optimization (PIO) is a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm,
which is inspired by the behavior of homing pigeons. A variant of pigeon-inspired …

Optimal control (OCl) can be traced back to the 1960s when it was utilised for solving an
optimisation problem (OP). In the OCl technique, a stable controller can be obtained by …

The ducted fan aircraft are an important type of hybrid aerial vehicle due to their annular
safety mechanism called duct. Despite their numerous advantages, developing a control …

Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is an optimal multivariable feedback control approach that
minimizes the excursion in state trajectories of a system while requiring minimum controller …

In this paper, a scheme which combines finite-time model-assisted active disturbance
rejection control and novel greedy criterion-based salp swarm algorithm is developed for …

A novel network control method based on trophallaxis mechanism is applied to the formation
flight problem for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Firstly, the multiple UAVs …
