Risk-Aware Input-Constrained Safe Intercept Guidance Against Multiple Moving Defenders
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao +2
This paper develops a risk-aware guidance law for an attacker to intercept a stationary target in the presence of multiple moving defenders while respecting the control input limit…
Finite-Data Safety Informativity Under Dynamic Asymmetric Actuation
Abhinav Sinha, Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Yongcan Cao
When the system model is not fully known, measurement error and limited excitation can leave several models consistent with the same finite data. A command judged safe for one mode…
Engagement-Zone-Aware Input-Constrained Guidance for Safe Target Interception in Contested Environments
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
We address target interception in contested environments in the presence of multiple defenders whose interception capability is limited by finite ranges. Conventional methods typic…
Three-dimensional Integrated Guidance and Control for Leader-Follower Flexible Formation of Fixed Wing UAVs
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
This paper presents a nonlinear integrated guidance and control (IGC) approach for flexible leader-follower formation flight of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) while acc…
Safety-Critical Input-Constrained Nonlinear Intercept Guidance in Multiple Engagement Zones
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
This paper presents an input-constrained nonlinear guidance law to address the problem of intercepting a stationary target in contested environments with multiple defending agents.…
3D Guidance Law for Flexible Target Enclosing with Inherent Safety
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
In this paper, we address the problem of enclosing an arbitrarily moving target in three dimensions by a single pursuer while ensuring the pursuer's safety by preventing collisions…
Self-organizing Multiagent Target Enclosing under Limited Information and Safety Guarantees
Praveen Kumar Ranjan, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
This paper introduces an approach to address the target enclosing problem using non-holonomic multiagent systems, where agents self-organize on the enclosing shape around a fixed t…
