Existing methods are unable to achieve high detection rates and low false alarm rates of satellite-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) signal preambles at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) using limited on-star resources. In this paper, a dual-hierarchy synchronization method is proposed, including a first-level coarse synchronization and a second-level fine synchronization. The coarse synchronization process involves three steps: (1) detection of unknown signals, (2) soft decision, and (3) adaptive interval output. The first step introduces the threshold () of the minimum signal energy to be detected to guarantee a high detection rate. In the soft decision step, a value () designed to improve the robustness of the system curbs false detection caused by noise interference.

This paper studies the salvo attack problem for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a maneuvering target, and a guidance scheme based on distributed model predictive control (DMPC) is presented to achieve cooperative interception with constraints of terminal impact angle and no-fly zone (or obstacle) avoidance. Firstly, for guaranteeing the synchronization of UAVs in calculating their acceleration commands, the assumed predictive trajectories are introduced, whose deviation from the actual state trajectories is limited by the designed compatibility constraints. Secondly, based on the velocity-obstacle model, the obstacle avoidance constraints are presented, and for guaranteeing the convergence of impact time and impact angles, the auxiliary controller and terminal ingredients are developed, which complete the design of DMPC cooperative guidance scheme. Subsequently, the rigorous proof for the convergence of the proposed guidance scheme is provided. Based on the above design, a complete implementation process of the guidance scheme is presented, in which each UAV uses the particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the preprocessed local optimization problem, and only the shared information among neighbors is utilized for calculation. Finally, the numerical simulations are conducted under diverse cases, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance scheme when solving cooperative interception problems with terminal angle and obstacle avoidance constraints.

In this paper, the reentry phase of the Aerospaceplane is taken as the research object, and the performance parameters of the reusable rocket of a private company are analyzed. Aiming at the guidance and control scheme of the spacecraft returning to the reentry trajectory in the real environment, the original natural algorithm is optimized by considering various reentry flight constraints, and the improved original natural algorithm is used to optimize the reentry trajectory of the Aerospaceplane. We obtained two types of reentry trajectories in the presence of large flight-restricted areas, the “S-type” trajectory and the “spiral-type” trajectory, and obtained data on various influencing factors. The results showed that the basic state parameters of the spiral trajectory optimized using the improved original natural algorithm after adding constraints met the constraint conditions. The aerodynamic heating rate and overload of the spiral reentry trajectory were to some extent greater than those of the S-type trajectory. Under the increasingly stringent requirements of the aerospace environment, new requirements were put forward for the thermal protection system to meet the wider environmental situation. This paper uses the improved original natural algorithm for the first time and applies it to the field of aerospace reentry and entry and adds more constraints to this algorithm for computation. Besides, for the first time, the macroscopic nature of trajectory types is used as a comparative element for parameter comparison, providing a reference basis for selecting trajectory optimization directions from the macroscopic perspective of trajectory types.
本文以航天飞机返回阶段为研究对象,分析了某民营企业可重复使用火箭的性能参数。针对实际环境中航天器返回再入轨道的制导和控制方案,考虑各种再入飞行约束条件,对原始自然算法进行了优化,并利用改进后的原始自然算法对航天飞机的再入轨道进行了优化。我们得到了存在大面积飞行限制区域时的两种再入飞行轨迹,即 "S型 "轨迹和 "螺旋型 "轨迹,并获得了各种影响因素的数据。结果表明,在添加约束条件后,使用改进的原始自然算法优化的螺旋轨迹的基本状态参数满足约束条件。螺旋再入轨迹的气动加热率和过载在一定程度上大于 S 型轨迹。在航天环境要求日益严格的情况下,对热防护系统提出了新的要求,以适应更广泛的环境形势。本文首次使用了改进后的原始自然算法,并将其应用于航空航天再入大气层和进入大气层领域,同时为该算法增加了更多的计算约束条件。此外,还首次将轨迹类型的宏观性作为参数比较的比较要素,从轨迹类型的宏观角度为轨迹优化方向的选择提供了参考依据。

To investigate the self-pulsation characteristics of a liquid-centered swirl coaxial injector with liquid oxygen (LOX) and gas hydrogen (GH2) as the working mediums under supercritical condition, a numerical simulation was employed. The transient simulation of the flow and injection process of cryogenic propellant was carried out using the RNG turbulence model, VOF model, and Peng-Robinson equation of state. The frequency spectrum of calculated pressure oscillation agreed with the experimental data. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of recess region, LOX, and GH2 paths when self-pulsation occurs were analyzed. The effects of operating parameters, such as the flow rate of LOX or GH2 and the initial GH2 temperature, on the self-pulsation, were evaluated specifically. Results reveal that the self-pulsation results from the periodic variation of pressure and velocity caused by the periodic blocking of annular gas by the liquid sheet. The dominant frequencies of pressure oscillation in the recess region, upstream of LOX, or GH2 path are diverse. But for the points in each region, the dominant frequency is about the same. When the LOX/GH2 mixing ratio increases, the liquid sheet thickness and the number of liquid filaments increase. The position where filaments are massively broken into droplets moves further downstream. For the same mixing ratio, the flow rate of LOX has a greater impact on the atomization features. The pressures corresponding to low or high frequency increase when the initial GH2 temperature raises. The higher temperature would shift the dominant oscillation between the low and high regimes.

Flight delays are a major concern for both travelers and airlines, with significant financial and reputational consequences. Accurately predicting flight delays is crucial for enhancing customer satisfaction and airline revenues. In this paper, we leverage the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to build a framework for accurately predicting flight delays. To achieve this, we collected flight information from September 2017 to April 2023, along with weather data, and performed extensive feature engineering to extract informative features to train our model. We conduct a comparative analysis of various popular machine learning architectures with distinctive characteristics, aiming to determine their efficacy in achieving optimal accuracy on our newly proposed dataset. Based on our evaluation of various architectures, our findings demonstrate that CatBoost outperformed the others by achieving the highest test accuracy and the lowest error rate in the challenging use case of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, to simulate real-world scenarios, our framework evaluates the best-performing model that has been selected for deployment in a web application, which provides users with the ability to accurately forecast flight delays and offers a user-friendly dashboard with valuable insights and analysis capabilities.

Online identification of aerodynamic parameters of experimental rockets was completed based on unscented Kalman filtering (UKF). Numerical simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and flight tests were conducted. The identification error of aerodynamic force in numerical simulation and HIL simulation is within 2%. For flight test data, trajectory reconstruction was performed using the identified aerodynamic forces, and the results showed that the identification results were more accurate than the interpolation table calculation results. The flight test identification results show that the identification method can complete parameter online identification under the conditions of limited performance of onboard computers, real sensor errors, and servo response. The approximate linear correlation between and and the reason for their formation from the moment balance were analyzed.

Inlet unstart prediction and warning are strictly crucial to the operation of hypersonic engines, especially for combined cycle engines where implementation across a wide speed range poses significant challenges. This paper proposes a realization method that involves constructing the conditions of critical backpressure ratios for the inlet unstart and unstart warning states within a wide speed range and establishing the backpressure prediction models for each engine mode. The detection of the unstart and unstart warning states is achieved by predicting the backpressure ratio at the exit of the isolator and comparing it to the critical backpressure ratios. To achieve this, numerical simulations for a three-dimensional inward-turning multiducted hypersonic combined inlet at various Mach numbers and backpressure ratios are carried out to obtain the dataset of surface pressure. A 10-fold cross-validation support vector machine (10-CV SVM) is used to solve the unstart boundary of surface pressure, and an unstart margin is set to determine the unstart warning boundary. A back propagation (BP) neural network is constructed to estimate the critical backpressure ratios at each working point within a wide speed range. The data information of surface pressure on the boundaries is used as the input for the predictions. The overall average regression correlation coefficient approaches 0.99 on the test dataset at each working point. The backpressure prediction models are established by the one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN). Only 2 to 4 measurement points of surface pressure are considered for cross-validation evaluation, and the mean absolute percentage error is between 4% and 8% with the average prediction time not exceeding 2 ms. Finally, the proposed method and prediction models are validated by wind tunnel experimental data.

Active pointing compensation of a High Throughput Satellite (HTS) multibeam antenna via microfiber composites (MFCs) is studied in this paper. Electrical-mechanical coupling analysis of MFCs is conducted to quantitatively determine driving forces and moments of MFCs attached on a carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) laminate, and a positive correlation relationship is observed for driving ability versus thickness of the laminate. By different driving strategies, MFCs could act in bending mode and torsioning mode for structural deformation control, and driving efficiency of the MFCs on a multibeam antenna is studied. Thermal distortion of the antenna under a typical in orbit thermal distribution causes the reflector to rotate about axis with an pointing error of 0.005°, active compensation is conducted, and the final compensation results show that with an optimal voltage of 432 V, pointing error of the antenna is greatly compensated, and the depointing angle is corrected to be 0.00004°.

The flexible parallel mechanism is widely utilized in precision instruments, thanks to its numerous advantages, such as high precision, frictionless operation, and seamless movements. The establishment of the motion equations for this mechanism is crucial for designing, analyzing, controlling, and simulating parallel mechanisms. While the existing inverse kinematics solution theory is comprehensive, developing a forward solution model is challenging due to the nonlinear nature of the attitude equation. To address this issue, a new method based on the transfer matrix approach is proposed in this research to calculate the forward kinematics of parallel mechanisms. The proposed method is applied to analyze the forward kinematics and workspace of both planar and spatial flexible mechanisms. Simulation calculations and experiments are conducted to verify the method’s effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the error is approximately 2%, indicating the feasibility and accuracy of the calculation method.

The rapid development of mobile Internet has promoted the rapid rise of cloud computing technology. Mobile terminal devices have greatly expanded the service capacity of mobile terminals by migrating complex computing tasks to run in the cloud. However, in the process of data exchange between mobile terminals and cloud computing centers, on the one hand, it consumes the limited power of mobile terminals, and on the other hand, it results in longer communication time, which negatively affects user QoE. Mobile cloud can effectively improve user QoE by shortening the data transmission distance, reducing the power consumption, and shortening the communication time at the same time. In this paper, we utilize the property that genetic algorithm can perform global search seeking the global optimal solution and construct a dynamic task scheduling model by combining the device-cloud link. The task scheduling model based on genetic algorithm and random scheduling algorithm is compared through comparison experiments, which show that the assignment time of the task scheduling model based on genetic algorithm is shortened by 11.82% to 48.51% and the energy consumption is reduced by 22.28% to 47.52% under different load conditions.
