SynopsisThe AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee is inviting participation in the AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference. The conference is the largest forum dedicated to guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) serving the aerospace community. It brings together experts from industry, government, and academia on an international level to present and discuss all technical areas related to GN&C for aerospace applications.
Draft Manuscript Submission Guidelines for GNC Conference Paper selection for this conference will be based on a full draft manuscript of the proposed technical paper. No exceptions will be made. Draft manuscripts and final papers must not exceed a total length of 25 pages. Each draft must begin with a 100- to 200-word abstract, and an introduction that includes a brief assessment of prior work by others and an explanation of the papers main contributions. The body of the manuscript must include sufficient detail to allow an informed evaluation of the paper.
Technical AreasPapers covering all aspects of guidance,
navigation, and control of aerospace systems may be submitted. Specifically, papers should describe novel analytical techniques, applications, and technological developments in areas such as: the guidance, navigation, and control of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, robotics, and other aerospace systems; general aviation; in-flight system architecture and components; navigation and position location; sensors and data fusion; multidisciplinary control; and GN&C concepts in air traffic control systems and high-speed flight. Please refer to the following individual technical area descriptions to determine the topic that most closely aligns with your paper. Please contact the Technical Area Chairs or Co-Chairs with questions.
Control Theory, Analysis, and DesignPapers are sought that develop new theories, generate new algorithms, derive new analysis techniques or design tools, or modify and improve existing techniques for general application to control of flight vehicles. Topics of interest include robust control, nonlinear control, optimal control, multivariable control, adaptive and intelligent control, fault detection, redundancy management and bio-inspired control. Papers describing new analysis and synthesis techniques with illustrative realistic aerospace control examples are strongly encouraged. Papers discussing applications of control theory should be submitted to the area that most closely matches the application. Examples of specific topics within the broad subject areas include:
Robust Control:techniques for control design of systems with uncertainty; feedback stability, mu analysis and gain scheduling; multivariable stability margins and multiplier theory; mu-synthesisand H-infinity-optimal control.
Nonlinear Control: techniques and methods of controlling systems using nonlinear models; Lyapunov techniques along with their extensions;linear matrix inequalities; applications of nonlinear control methods, such as sliding mode or feedback linearization techniques.
Optimal Control:optimization algorithms; objectives and issues in controlling nonlinear systems; dynamic programming; solution methods; case studies of analysis and design of MIMO plants; robustness and stability margins; design tradeoffs.
Adaptive and Intelligent
Control:MRAC, Lyapunov stability analysis of adaptive control laws;direct and indirect adaptive control for linear and nonlinear systems;computational challenges; adaptation rules; verification of margins for flight critical systems; models and learning rules of artificial neural networks; neural networks in system identification and control.
Fault Detection: algorithms to detect sensor and effector faults; switchover control laws; simulations with fault injection and recovery performance.
Redundancy Management: redundancy management of multiple sensors and effectors used by the control laws; voting, selection, and tests; verification and validation of redundancy management schemes; implementation in real-time software.
Bio-Inspired Control Methods: control and optimization algorithms inspired by natural existing phenomena; genetic algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, and swarming algorithms.
