Event-triggered adaptive output feedback control of unmanned aerial vehicles under hybrid attacks

Abstract

This study addresses the adaptive dynamic output feedback (DOF) control for unmanned aerial vehicle systems subjected to hybrid attacks. These attacks are delineated by two Bernoulli variables, signifying denial-of-service (DoS) and deception attacks, respectively. In an effort to enhance energy efficiency and reduce communication costs in the presence of network delays, the study introduces an innovative probability event-triggering mechanism (PETM). Subsequently, it crafts a DOF controller that operates based on the available measurement outputs. By harnessing Lyapunov stability theory, the study identifies sufficient conditions that guarantee the stability of the system's augmented dynamics. Finally, the efficacy and applicability of the proposed method are underscored through a case study on an unmanned aerial vehicle.
