Abstract

The control synthesis of the high-speed underwater vehicle faces many technical challenges due to its inherent structure and surrounding operational environment. In this paper, the dynamical behavior is firstly described through a bifurcation analysis to give some insights for robust control synthesis. Then a novel adaptive fractional-order sliding mode controller (AFOSMC) is realized to effectively manipulate the supercavitating vehicle against payload changes, nonlinear planing force, and external disturbances. The fractional order (FO) calculus can offer more flexibility and more freedom for tuning active control synthesis than the integer-order counterpart. In addition, the adaptation law has been presented to directly handle the payload change effects. The stability of the controlled vehicle system is proven via Lyapunov stability theory. Next, the dynamic performance of the proposed controller is verified through extensive simulation results, which demonstrate the control accuracy with faster responses compared with existing integer-order controllers. Finally, the proposed fractional order controllers can provide higher performance than their integer order counterparts with control algorithms.
