Cooperative Integrated Estimation-Guidance for Simultaneous Interception of Moving Targets
Lohitvel Gopikannan, Shashi Ranjan Kumar, Abhinav Sinha
This paper proposes a cooperative integrated estimation-guidance framework for simultaneous interception of a non-maneuvering target using a team of unmanned autonomous vehicles, a…
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…
Cooperative Guidance for Aerial Defense in Multiagent Systems
Shivam Bajpai, Abhinav Sinha, Shashi Ranjan Kumar
This paper addresses a critical aerial defense challenge in contested airspace, involving three autonomous aerial vehicles -- a hostile drone (the pursuer), a high-value drone (the…
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.…
Trajectory Encryption Cooperative Salvo Guidance
Lohitvel Gopikannan, Shashi Ranjan Kumar, Abhinav Sinha
This paper introduces the concept of trajectory encryption in cooperative simultaneous target interception, wherein heterogeneity in guidance principles across a team of unmanned a…
Adaptive Event-Triggered Policy Gradient for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Umer Siddique, Abhinav Sinha, Yongcan Cao
Conventional multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods rely on time-triggered execution, where agents sample and communicate actions at fixed intervals. This approach is of…
On Robustness of Consensus over Pseudo-Undirected Path Graphs
Abhinav Sinha, Dwaipayan Mukherjee, Shashi Ranjan Kumar
Consensus over networked agents is typically studied using undirected or directed communication graphs. Undirected graphs enforce symmetry in information exchange, leading to conve…
Robust Near-Optimal Nonlinear Target Enclosing Guidance
Abhinav Sinha, Rohit V. Nanavati
This paper proposes a nonlinear optimal guidance law that enables a pursuer to enclose a target within arbitrary geometric patterns, which extends beyond conventional circular enci…
Nonlinear Cooperative Salvo Guidance with Seeker-Limited Interceptors
Lohitvel Gopikannan, Shashi Ranjan Kumar, Abhinav Sinha
This paper presents a cooperative guidance strategy for the simultaneous interception of a constant-velocity, non-maneuvering target, addressing the realistic scenario where only a…
Cooperative Target Capture in 3D Engagements over Switched Dynamic Graphs
Abhinav Sinha, Shashi Ranjan Kumar
This paper presents a leaderless cooperative guidance strategy for simultaneous time-constrained interception of a stationary target when the interceptors exchange information over…
Provably Safe Control for Constrained Nonlinear Systems with Bounded Input
Saurabh Kumar, Shashi Ranjan Kumar, Abhinav Sinha
In real-world control applications, actuator constraints and output constraints (specifically in tracking problems) are inherent and critical to ensuring safe and reliable operatio…
