Robust Guidance Law Design of Launch Vehicles via Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithm
摘要
The design of guidance laws for launch vehicles in the gale area necessitates a delicate balance between achieving high control accuracy, ensuring robustness against significant disturbances, and minimizing overload to safe guard against potential damage to the launch vehicle’s structure. In this paper, we develop network formed adaptive guidance laws for various flight tasks, which are trained with a reinforcement learning algorithm to address the challenges mention above. The simulation results demonstrate that the guidance laws trained with our algorithm exhibit robust characteristics under the influence of various wind disturbances and accurately track the desired flight trajectory with high precision throughout the flight process. Furthermore, in the gale area, the guidance laws enable the launch vehicle to operate with reduced overload while maintaining an acceptable level of tracking accuracy. This algorithm represents a promising candidate for designing guidance laws for launch vehicles in the gale area or under unknown disturbances during the flight process.
