The work suggests a general mathematical setting of the task of automatic control of the aircraft when refueling fuel in the air, with the development of a nonlinear, nonstationary mathematical model of high dimensions. The decomposition of the original nonlinear nonstationary system of large size and the task of aircraft control at the stage of convergence and docking with the tanker refueling process for a sequential set of subsystems and scalar tasks of aircraft control based on the properties of the small maneuverability of the aircraft in the task of refueling fuel in the air. This mathematical model allows you to use mathematical modeling techniques at all stages of refueling and evaluate the developed algorithms of automatic control.
In addition, the article formed the main tasks of automatic refueling by fueling aircraft in the air, including several subtasks:
• determination of the exact relative position of aircraft;
• the aircraft control system should provide a precision control process for docking a refueling rod with a clover hose of a refueling aircraft;
• it is necessary to ensure the unifi cation of the design of docking units and fueling elements in the air for unmanned and manned aircraft;
• ensuring all-weather refueling in complex weather conditions.
The proposed mathematical model will allow modeling fuel refueling in the air, taking into account the tasks of automatic refueling with the assessment of each subtask.
Also, the proposed model allows to take into account the impact of the refueling aircraft on the refueling aircraft and to carry out (under certain limitations) the synthesis of automatic control algorithms taking into account all existing perturbing influences and on their generalized aggregate to increase the accuracy of information for refueling aircraft in the air. - Author Biographies
