Abstract:

To solve a specific problem involved in autonomous guidance maneuver control of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) route under terminal position constraints, the autonomous flight model of the UAV is described based on Markov decision processes and the simulation environment for the training algorithm is constructed. Meanwhile, an autonomous guidance maneuver control algorithm of UAV is proposed based on deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) and the guidance maneuvering control function and the state-action value function are fitted by the neural network. Finally, the simulation results show that the UAV using the proposed algorithm can fly to a fixed position in horizontal plane from any position and attitude. It is proved that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the autonomy of the UAV.

Key words: autonomous guidance, maneuver control and decision-making, Markov decision process, deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) method, deep reinforcement learning
