    In order to meet the requirements of unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) launching the torpedos,a new underwater ejection scheme with flexible piston rod is proposed.In the ejection scheme,the high pressure in large depth environment is used to drive the piston to launch a torpedo.An interior trajectory calculation model of torpedo launched from the ejection device with flexible piston rod is established.And the model is verified by the principle test in the high pressure water tank laboratory.The different launching schemes in the related literatures are comparatively studied based on the model.The results show that the ejection scheme with flexible piston rod has the characteristics of smooth acceleration without steep change,large effective acceleration stroke and high pipe exit speed compared with the traditional multistage cylinder launching scheme.Compared with the traditional high-pressure gas-driven piston scheme,the high-pressure water-driven piston scheme is simpler in structure without pressure storage device.A piston buffer scheme based on load reduction in steps proposed in the paper has better load reduction effect compared with the traditional throttle hole buffer scheme.And it won’t cause excessive pressure in the reverse cavity of piston cylinder.Under the ambient pressure of 1.1-6.1MPa,the predicted velocity of torpedo exiting tube varies from 7.0 to 11.6m/s,and the rear reference point of torpedo dose not collide with the tube wall.The results verify the feasibility of the underwater ejection scheme with flexible piston rod,which provides the design basis for the further development of ejection device.

    Stable and high-precision localization is a prerequisite for realizing the cooperative autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) often fails to achieve the precise localization in scenarios lacking geometric features,such as corridors,tunnels,and deserts.Therefore,a leapfrog cooperative LiDAR SLAM degradation correction method is proposed for UGVs.This method is used to estimate the normal vector of each feature point in the current frame,and a LiDAR SLAM degradation detection algorithm is devised.When the degradation of environment is detected,the ranging information about two unmanned vehicles is utilized to correct the degradation in LiDAR SLAM.Finally,the locating results are further optimized in the pose graph.Testing on two self-built UGV platforms reveals that the proposed method achieves better mapping performance compared to the current famous LiDAR SLAM methods,demonstrating its significant capability to enhance the locating performance of LiDAR SLAM in degraded scenarios.

    This paper investigates the trajectory planning issue for fixed-wing UAVs and proposes a real-time trajectory planning method based on exact convex relaxation.This method includes two steps,i.e.path planning and velocity optimization.In the first step,a flight path of UAV in the multi-obstacle environments is designed.In consideration of the dynamics and control constraints,an obstacle avoidance path planning method based on Dubins path is proposed to generate a flyable obstacle avoidance trajectory.In the second step,the velocity and control of a fixed-wing UAV flying along an obstacle avoidance path are calculated such that it can track the obstacle avoidance path.The nonlinearity retention and exact convex relaxation are used to convert the highly nonlinear velocity optimization problem into one single convex optimization problem,and the validity of the proposed method is theoretically proven.Since there is no iterative process of solving the convex optimization problems,the velocity optimization algorithm does not have convergence issues and has remarkable real-time performance.The simulated results demonstrate that the proposed method can realize obstacle avoidance trajectory planning reliably and rapidly in both multi-obstacle environment and unknown obstacle environment,and it significantly improves the computing efficiency compared with the nonlinear programming and successive convex optimization methods.The calculation time is only tens of milliseconds.

    In order to study the effect of horizontal inflow on the aerodynamic characteristics of small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) rotors,the wind tunnel test and numerical simulation are conducted to obtain the multi-dimensional aerodynamic data and wake vortex diffusion characteristics of UAV rotors under different inflow speeds.A low-speed wind tunnel is used to simulate horizontal inflow,and a six-component force-moment sensor is used to measure the aerodynamic forces the rotational speeds from 2000r/min to 9000r/min.The experimental study focuses on analyzing the variations of lateral force,and pitch and roll moments in the rotational plane.The influence of inflow speed on surface pressure distribution during the rotational period and the morphological characteristics of the near-field wake vortex are discussed from the numerically simulated results.The results indicate that the optimal rotational speed range of rotor is 4000-6000r/min under the action of horizontal inflow The x-axis force in the rotational plane is the primary contributor to the lateral force,with both x-axis and y-axis moments playing roles simultaneously.The lateral forces and moments become significant at inflow speeds above 5m/s and must be considered in dynamic analysis.The horizontal inflow disrupts the symmetrical feature of the rotor wake vortex.The inflow with greater speed leads to a larger inclination angle,causing the diffusion evolution of wake vortex to be compressed.

    In order to improve the design ability of modified double base(MDB)propellant formulations, different intelligent algorithms were used for the formulation design and optimization of the burning rate property. By comparing several typical intelligent algorithms, including genetic algorithm(GA), differential evolution algorithm(DE), particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO)and whale optimization algorithm(WOA), the intelligent formulation design and optimization of MDB propellants containing RDX were carried out. The results reveal that compared to the statistical optimization method, the intelligent optimization algorithm is simple to be operated and runs more quickly, while the 14 optimal formulations fitted by differential evolution algorithm have the best and more stable burning rate performance. Under the same pressures, the predicted burning rates of these 14 optimized formulations are significantly higher than the experimental values of the prepared formulations. Finally, a set of intelligent algorithm software for predicting the burning rate of modified double base propellants containing RDX is formed by coupling the difference algorithm with the support vector regression model. Based on the intelligent algorithm software, new formulations with the superior burning rate property could be deduced.

    Object tracking is an important part of UAV visual guidance,and the tracking accuracy determines the combat effectiveness of UAVs on the battlefield.There are many problems with general object tracking in UAV guidance:fast scale change,large appearance change,slow inference speed and lack of dataset.In order to solve the problems,this paper proposes Guidance-Tracker,an adaptive UAV siamese tracker for visual guidance.The adaptive search region mechanism adjusts the search region to fit the fast scale change by analyzing the guidance process,and the adaptive template updating mechanism updates the template feature to fit large appearance change.Besides,FasterNet Block and anchor-free mechanism are respectively introduced in the backbone network and the tracking head to speed up the inference time.In addition,an object tracking test dataset Guidance UAV for visual guidance,which contains 12 videos, is constructed to evaluate the performance of trackers in visual guidance.The experiment results indicate that Guidance-Tracker is not only suitable for use on the general UAV tracking dataset UAV123,but also achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Guidance UAV,while maintaining a speed of 15f/s on the onboard device Jetson Xavier NX.The indoor guidance experiments shows the effectiveness of the Guidance Tracker.

    In order to study the quantitative structure-property relationship(QSPR)between the detonation performance of pyrimidine energetic compound and its molecular structure, a novel structure index, namely, positioning correction index B, was derived based on the spatial characteristics of atomic interconnections in pyrimidine energetic compound molecules. Moreover, the electrical topology state indexes of 19 energetic compound molecules were calculated, and the electrical topology state index E13 was selected as the structural descriptor. The electrical topology state index E13 was combined with positioning correction index B, which was introduced to the regression analysis of the detonation performance of pyrimidine energetic compound. The neural network models predicting the detonation performance of pyrimidine energetic compound were constructed, where the structural indexes B and E13 were used as the input variables of BP neural network, and 2-3-1 as the network structure. The results show that total correlation coefficient for each model is more than 0.99, which means the excellent level of correlation. The average relative errors between the predicted values and the literature values of oxygen balance(OB), detonation heat(Q), detonation velocity(D)and detonation pressure(P)are 1.59%, 1.05%, 0.37% and 1.28%, respectively. Satisfactory results can also be obtained when introducing the index to analyze and predict the detonation performance of oxtriazole fused ring energetic material molecules and fluorinated azole energetic compound molecules. It is proved the there is a good non-linear relationship between the positioning correction index, electrical topology state index and the detonation performance of pyrimidine-based energetic material molecules.

    Ground-based laser systems are limited in their effectiveness due to obstacles and beam divergence. This limitation can be mitigated by using UAV platforms for close-proximity illumination. Nevertheless, the currently available unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often lack the payload capacity to carry the lasers that meet the necessary power requirements, thus limiting the application of laser systems. To tackle this challenge,a UAV-based laser relay redirectional energy transmission device and its corresponding ground part are designed based on the energy transmission mode of using UAV to turn the light path. Different focusing strategies are discussed, and the system efficiency analysis under simulation conditions is given for different focusing strategies, which can explore a new way for laser system turning irradiation and mobile deployment.

    A hierarchical multi-agent collaborative decision-making method based on the actor-critic (AC) frameworkis proposed to address the issues of improper task allocation and weak decision consistency in the collaborative decision-making of multiple agents in complex operational environments. The proposed method divides the decision-making process into different levels and utilizes the AC framework to facilitate information exchange and decision coordination among the agents, thereby enhancing thedecision efficiency and combat effectiveness. At the higher level, the top-level agents formulate thetask decisions by decomposing and assigning overall tasks to the lower-level agents. At the lower level, the lower-level agents make action decisions based on subtasks and provide feedback to the higher level. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method performs well in various operational simulation scenarios, showcasing its potential to enhance themilitary operational collaborative decision-making capability.

    In order to expand the application scope of folding wing UAV and extend the information acquisition ability of underwater platform,an underwater vehicle scheme of carrying UAV for dry launch was proposed by combining the advantages of UUV and UAV. In order to better evaluate the feasibility of launching UAV on the sea,the computational fluid dynamics simulation software StarCCM+ was used to simulate the launching environment of UAV on the sea,and the floating and launching process of UAV was simulated in the simulation environment. The air-bag scheme and the propeller scheme were designed respectively by referencing foreign design experience,and the different sea-conditions,different structural-parameters and attitude parameters were simulated and evaluated,and finally the launching process was simulated under the sea conditions. The results show that the UAV carrier in the state of zero buoyancy underwater can float stably on the water surface under different sea-conditions by the air bag scheme and the propeller propulsion scheme. In terms of UAV launch,the difference between the maximum sinking distance of the air-bag scheme in still water and sea conditions is about 2.5%,and the consistency is better than the error level of the propeller scheme of 30%. The average maximum sinking-distance of the vehicle during the launch of UAV is 0.28 m,which is lower than 0.4 m of the propeller propulsion scheme. In a comprehensive comparison,the air-bag scheme is more stable and reliable.

    In order to overcome the question of large fluctuation of trajectory tracking accuracy due to complex external unknown interference in the trajectory tracking control process of six-freedom-degree quad-rotor UAV,a new-type cascaded double-closed-loop control strategy was proposed for velocity error,and position and attitude error. Firstly,the model predictive control(MPC)was used to project the velocity closed-loop controller,and the sparrow search algorithm(SSA)was applied to the rolling optimization process of MPC to obtain the feasible solution due to the fast convergence and strong robustness. In order to solve the large computation in MPC,sliding mode control(SMC)was used to design the dynamic controller according to position and attitude respectively. SMC is insensitive to external interference,robust and does not need accurate modeling,thus solving the problems of external uncertain interference and difficulty in accurately modeling UAV. The saturation function was used to replace the symbolic function to make the input of the actual system continuous,thus effectively reducing the high-frequency chattering phenomenon in SMC. Finally,the stability of the SSA-MPC controller was proved by Lyapunov stability theory. By the proposed method,the six-freedom-degree quad-rotor UAV can achieve high-precision trajectory tracking control under complex external unknown interference and uncertain parameters,and the trajectory tracking accuracy is obviously better than the UAV control system composed of traditional single controller. The proposed controller is effective for the trajectory tracking control of quad-rotor UAV under complex external unknown interference.

    To solve the increasingly serious flight problems of the low-slow-small unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV),an anti-UAV capture gun was designed by the high-low pressure launching theory. The coupled interior and external ballistic model of the anti-UAV capture gun was established. The effects of different charge weights and volumes of high-pressure chamber on the performance of launching device capturing UAV were discussed. The launching performance,portability and safety of the device were investigated by the normalized function of the muzzle velocity,the volume and mass of the device,and the peak pressure of the high-pressure chamber. The launching performance,portability and safety for different conditions were analyzed. The particle swarm optimization was used to improve the capture performance,portability and safety of the anti-UAV capture gun. The study provides a theoretical guidance for the in-depth study of anti-drone capture system.

    Aiming at the perturbation of aerodynamic parameters in the waypoint control of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV),a robust control law against the perturbation of the aerodynamic parameters was proposed,and it was applied for tracking waypoint of a fixed-wing UAV. The effect of the perturbation of the aerodynamic parameters on the traditional control method was analyzed,and the kinematic model containing error term was given. A new control law added with the upper-limit item of the perturbation of the aerodynamic parameters was designed,which enabled the system to be stable. The proposed method was verified by setting a series of large perturbation of the parameters. The result shows that it can guarantee the control precision to introduce the perturbation of aerodynamic parameters.

    Taking a small four-rotor UAV with multi-tube launcher as the research object,in order to study the influence of hovering launch of special ammunition on the flight stability of four-rotor UAV,the interior ballistic model of special ammunition launching was established,and the recoil impulse generated by the launcher launching a special ammunition was calculated by interior ballistic programming. Based on Newton-Euler equation,the six-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of UAV and multi-tube launcher was established. Through Simulink modeling calculation,the attitude and position change data of four-rotor UAV and multi-tube launcher were obtained,and the calculated and experimental results are in good agreement. The research shows that under various launch conditions,the four-rotor UAV controlled by PID controller can safely realize hovering launch of special ammunition. The theoretical threshold of recoil impulse for safe launch of four-rotor UAV in hovering state can be obtained by numerical calculation by changing the recoil impulse of four-rotor UAV fuselage. It provides theoretical and data support for the development of four-rotor UAV and multi-tube launcher.

    Salt spray environment has an important influence on the tactical and technical performance and operational effectiveness of automatic rifles. However, the influence mechanism of salt spray environment on the motion characteristics and failure of rifle automaton is still unclear. A small caliber automatic rifle is taken as the test object,and a life-test in salt spray environment is designed and carried out. A series of measurements and records are carried out on the rifle after each salt spray test, including non-contact measurement of automaton motion by high-speed photography, high precision measurement of the mass of rifle bolt , recoil spring parameters test, and photographic record of bolt box and guide rail surface morphology characteristics. The conditions of failure during the life-test are counted to obtain the typical fault patterns of automaton movement. The results show that the mass of rifle bolt increases gradually with the increase in salt spray test time. The free length and pre-pressure of the recoil spring gradually decrease, and the working pressure tends to be flat after decreasing. The speed at which the bolt carrier recoils to position decreases first and then increases. The speeds at which the bolt begins to return and returns to the original position decrease gradually, and they have the same changing trend. With the decrease of the speed at which the bolt carrier recoils to position, the number of motion faults of the automaton increases, and the multi-parameter changes caused by the salt spray environment have an obvious influence on the automaton motion. Based on the experimental study, the quantitive relation formulas for the changes of the mass of rifle bolt, the recoil spring parameters and the characteristic point velocity with time are built. Quantitive relation formulas provide a reference for inferring the parameter changes of moving parts of automaton in salt spray environment and analyzing their influences on faults in motion.
