  1. Honeywell UAV Rendezvous Control Presentation 1 21 September 2007

  2. Task Identification • Design an autonomous controller to drive a UAV from an initial state of flight to a uniformly moving refueller and maintain steady level flight for an acceptable duration.

  3. Subgroup Tasks • Guidance Algorithm Development • 6 DOF Modeling and Simulation • Sensor Investigation

  4. Guidance • Obtain linearized matrices for specific UAV parameters. • Gain an understanding of basic equations of motion for UAV (ie pitch, roll, yaw, speed, etc). • Development of mathematical algorithms dependent on flight attitude and equations of motion.

  5. 6 DOF Modeling and Simulation • Obtain attitude and control algorithms from Guidance subgroup • Perform necessary transformations on algorithms in preparation to Matlab/Simulink integration • Model equations into Simulink and perform simulations to test efficiency of guidance laws • Optimize

  6. Sensor Investigation • Research all applicable sensor technologies • Determine accuracy, dynamic response, cost, size, weight and power for each • Assist simulation team model sensor configuration

  7. Questions for sponsor • Scheduling of weekly meeting times? • M/W 4:30p+; F 1:30p. • Is it possible for three subgroups to perform tasks simultaneously (ie order of tasks performed) • Specifically what does sponsor desire to see at final CDR • Within provided booklet, can sponsor cite specific helpful sections to assist with algorithm development

  8. Action Items • Within next 1.5 weeks, goals: • Develop Gant chart • Schedule ‘tutorial’ session with controls professor • Obtain UAV parameters • Simulation team: develop simple ‘car’ model in Simulink and run relevant simulations
