Homing Trajectory Planning and Control for the Accurate Aerial Delivery of Parafoil System

Published: 25 May 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Parafoil system is widely used in the fields of military, aviation and aerospace to realize military supplies accurate aerial delivery and the spacecraft recycle mission, because of its controllability and long-distance gliding performance. Focus on the research of parafoil precise airdrop system modeling, homing trajectory planning and controlling methods are discussed in the paper. The time- and energy-optimal control algorithms for homing trajectory planning are compared. The advantages and applicability of the two algorithms at different delivered heights are discussed. The optimal homing trajectories at different heights, which can provide theoretical principle for actual parafoil airdrop, are obtained through Simulink model simulation.
