Abstract: A high precision rudder adjustment strategy based on linear-nonlinear switching active disturbance rejection control is proposed for hypersonic vehicles with strong uncertainty. Firstly, the angle of attack system model for attitude control is derived. Secondly, the piecewise continuous function in active disturbance rejection control is replaced by a continuous smooth function , and the associated gain characteristics are analyzed. Finally, a linear-nonlinear switching extended state observer is designed based on the function , and a smooth switching rule of linear and nonlinear control law is proposed. In addition, control parameters are estimated in real time to provide better accuracy of disturbance observation and compensation. The results show that the proposed adjustment strategy has stronger anti-disturbance ability than single linear and nonlinear active disturbance rejection control, and achieves the goal of high precision rudder adjustment.

Key words: hypersonic vehicles, uncertainty, linear-nonlinear switching active disturbance rejection control, ruder adjustment
