Terminal sliding mode control for spatial descent of a stratospheric airship

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Addressing the problem of spatial descending control with wind disturbance, this paper presents a spatial path following controller of the stratospheric airship based on the theories of three-dimensional vector field and terminal sliding mode control. Firstly, the nonlinear underactuated stratospheric airship model is presented. Secondly, the three-dimensional vector field guidance law is designed to calculated real-time desired attitudes of the stratospheric airship for the purpose of guiding the stratospheric airship to follow the desired path. Thirdly, the terminal sliding mode controller is designed to control the airship to follow the real-time desired attitudes. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
