Probe-Drogue Simulation Study of Autonomous Aerial Refueling Based on Prediction Model
摘要
The movement characteristics of hose-drogue have significant influence on the success rate of Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR). The paper starts with the dynamic modeling of the hose-drogue, analyzing the key parameters of the hose-drogue that needed to be calibrated, and then adopts the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) based on the historical aerial refueling data to obtain a more accurate hose-drogue model. A target prediction docking process is established. Simulation test results show that this method can improve the success rate of AAR.
