Resumen

Optimal entry flight of hypersonic vehicles requires achieving specific mission objectives under complex nonlinear flight dynamics constraints. The challenge lies in rapid generation of optimal or near-optimal flight trajectories with significant changes in the initial flight conditions during entry. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have shown the capability to capture the inherent nonlinear mapping between states and optimal actions in complex control problems. This paper focused on comprehensive investigation and evaluation of a DNN-based method for three-dimensional hypersonic entry flight trajectory generation. The network is designed using cross-validation to ensure its performance, enabling it to learn the mapping between flight states and optimal actions. Since the time-consuming training process is conducted offline, the trained neural network can generate a single optimal control command in about 0.5 milliseconds on a PC, facilitating onboard applications. With the advantages in mapping capability and calculating speed of DNNs, this method can rapidly generate control action commands based on real-time flight state information from the DNN model. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method maintains a high level of accuracy even in scenarios where the initial flight conditions (including altitude, velocity, and flight path angle) deviate from their nominal values, and it has certain generalization ability.
