Trajectory control method of stratospheric airship based on the sliding mode control and prediction in wind field

The stratospheric airship has the characteristics of large inertia, long time delay and large disturbance of wind field, so the trajectory control is very difficult. Build the lateral three degrees of freedom dynamic model which consider the wind interference, the dynamics equation is linearized by the small perturbation theory, propose a trajectory control method Combine with the sliding mode control and prediction, design the trajectory controller, takes the HAA airship as the reference to carry out simulation analysis. Results show that the improved sliding mode control with front-feedback method not only can solve well control problems of airship trajectory in wind field, but also can effectively improve the control accuracy of the traditional sliding mode control method, solved problems that using the traditional sliding mode control to control. It provides a useful reference for dynamic modeling and trajectory control of stratospheric airship.
