Quadratic Bezier Curves for Multi-Agent Coordinated Arrival in the Presence of Obstaclesdratic

We consider a multiple vehicle path planning problem with curvature constraints in the presence of obstacles, where multiple vehicles need to arrive at a given final location simultaneously. We aim to find the paths using a simplex framework that …

Circular Rejoin in 3D Using Bézier Paths

In this paper, the interception of a target vehicle is presented utilizing a Bézier path. Utilizing the Bézier path, the controlled vehicle is navigated from an initial point and velocity vector to a desired target waypoint and velocity vector. To …

Direct Methods Comparison for the Active Target Defense Scenario

The goal of optimal control is to obtain an admissible function which minimizes an objective functional subject to specified constraints and boundary conditions. Four popular methods of computing the optimal control directly are the Single Shooting …

A Kinematic Rejoin Method for Active Defense of Non-Maneuverable Aircraft

An engagement scenario involving the defense of a valuable and non-maneuverable aircraft is investigated in this paper. An Attacker missile pursuing a Target aircraft and a Defender missile which aims at intercepting the Attacker in order to protect …

Adaptive Event-triggered Cooperative Control of Uncertain Networked Systems

Coordination and cooperation of networked multi-agent systems is usually constrained by dynamic and communication limitations. In this work we consider the problem of distributed leader following of heterogeneous and uncertain multi-agent systems. …
