Stratospheric airship plane path tracking control method based on model predictive control

A stratospheric airship plane path tracking control method based on model predictive control comprises a step of desired tracking value giving; a step of guidance error calculation in which the distance error and angle error between a desired position and an actual position are calculated; a step of vertical and horizontal dynamic equation decomposition in which only the horizontal state quantity is adopted in controller design; a step of discrete system equation solving in which a stratospheric airship lateral continuous system obtained by the steps above is linearly processed, error derivatives are linearly processed, then, the airship lateral state quantity and error are taken as an extended quantity, and an extended continuous state space equation is discretized; a step of system future prediction in which the state or output quantity of a future period of time is predicted according to the current state quantity obtained by a combined inertial navigation sensor and the like; and a step of model predictive control objective function construction in which an objective function is constructed with a predicted state quantity, and the function is solved by a standard QP algorithm to obtain the system input quantity.
