Abstract
This article proposes an output-feedback control protocol for hypersonic flight vehicle (HFV) swarms considering dynamic event-triggered communication. The peculiarities of the proposed method over existing ones consist in the following: 1) While carrying out scheduled maneuvers, the outputs of follower HFVs converge inside the convex hull spanned by leader HFVs whose task is to maintain a geometric space configuration; 2) a simple nonrecursive output-feedback design is established without involving any intermediate control laws or requiring full-state information; 3) an error-dependent monotonically decreasing exponential term is incorporated into the dynamic event-triggered threshold to reduce the communication bandwidth while preserving the desired track performance and excluding Zeno behavior. Comparative simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
