Background
The number of marine accidents is increasing. In order to search the specific position of people falling into water or encountering difficulty, an airplane is used for searching in a certain area range, and after a target is searched, a helicopter or a lifeboat is dispatched to rescue the person encountering difficulty.
In order to improve the success rate of maritime search and rescue in China, a search guiding airplane is firstly used for searching, after a target is found, a dyeing bomb is thrown in an area near the target, the specific position of the target of a standby helicopter set is informed, and subsequent rescue is carried out.
When the search guidance aircraft executes a search task, the aircraft flies to the approximate drowning point from the current position, and then the extended search is carried out by taking the approximate drowning point as the center. The time is saved during the expansion search, the drowning person is ensured not to have life danger, the search density is required to be low, and a wide area covered by a roughly drowning point as a center can be ensured. Therefore, a navigation system for searching for a guided aircraft needs to perform automatic search in a certain driving manner.
The aircraft usually flies by adopting a flight path driving mode, a plurality of flight points are required to be preset before flying to form a flight path, each flight point sequentially flies according to the flight path when the aircraft is driven, and because a plurality of search and rescue flight points are difficult to be preset when the aircraft is searched and guided, the navigation search is carried out according to the flight path driving mode, the annular search of a specific area cannot be realized, and the optimal search and rescue opportunity is missed due to narrow search range and incomplete search area.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a search driving mode based on an expanded spiral line graph aiming at the defects of the prior art so as to realize annular search of a specific area, expand the search range, grasp the optimal search and rescue opportunity and reduce or avoid casualties.
The technical idea of the invention is as follows: according to the principle that the larger the inclination angle of the airplane is, the smaller the turning radius is, a spiral flight driving mode is established through graphic parameter setting and real-time adjustment of the inclination angle, the navigation driving requirement of the search and guidance airplane during searching is met, namely, the spiral search graphics are expanded through the initial position, the initial radius, the linear increasing speed and the turning direction, and the airplane is controlled to comprehensively complete expanded searching in the water falling area. The specific implementation scheme comprises the following steps:
according to the above thought, the search driving method based on the extended spiral line pattern of the present invention is characterized by including the following three stages:
the first stage is flying according To the flight path, namely after the airplane receives an expansion spiral line instruction, the current position is taken as a starting point From, the input parameter initial position is taken as a To point, a flight segment is drawn, and the airplane is controlled To fly To the position near an initial circle determined by the initial position and the input parameter initial radius according To the flight segment;
the second stage is to adjust the flight, namely after the aircraft flies to the vicinity of the initial circle, the inclination angle alpha of the aircraft is adjusted in real time by the changes of the yaw distance and the track angle error by utilizing the standard control law according to the input parameters of the initial radius, the linear increasing rate and the turning direction, so that the aircraft smoothly transits from the flight path to the extended flight;
and in the third stage, extended flight is carried out, namely after the airplane flies to the initial circle, the flight radius r of the airplane is adjusted in real time by utilizing the linear increasing rate of the input parameter, the inclination angle additional term beta is calculated and added to the inclination angle alpha, and the airplane realizes extended flight by the adjusted inclination angle gamma which is alpha + beta.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. simple input parameter
When the traditional flight route flight mode is adopted to realize the area search, a plurality of waypoints are required to be input firstly, each waypoint comprises longitude, latitude and magnetic difference information, if the number of the input waypoints is large, the input is complex, if the number of the input waypoints is small, the coverage area is small, careless omission easily occurs, the method can realize the area search only by inputting four parameters, and the optimal search and rescue opportunity is easy to ensure.
2. Wide coverage and high search efficiency
The traditional air route searching mode is difficult to realize annular searching, and the area which can be covered by the annular searching is the largest within the same searching and rescuing flight time.
3. The control of the airplane is relatively stable
The invention calculates the inclination angle by continuously iterating and expanding the radius, has short iteration period and is only the cycle period of a program, so the change of the inclination angle is smooth, the stable and smooth control of the airplane can be realized, and the adverse reaction of search and rescue personnel is reduced.
Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention is based on the flight path driving, uses the set spiral line parameters to carry out iterative operation, calculates various navigation parameters and carries out annular spiral extended flight.
Referring to fig. 1, in the conventional flight path driving, a flight path is composed of a plurality of waypoints, usually no more than 25 waypoints, an aircraft sequentially flies according to the flight path composed of the planned waypoints, and in this flight mode, more input information is required for each waypoint, new waypoints need to be continuously input during search and rescue, the operation is complex, and the search and rescue opportunity is easily missed, so that the flight path driving is not suitable for search and rescue.
After the navigation computer completes the binding of the flying starting point and the editing of the flight route to be flown, the navigation computer needs to set the navigation parameters according to the simple airborne navigation theory.

wherein, C1、C2Are two different constants, C117 °/hai, C20.0034 hr/haili;
2.2) the airplane performs adjustment flight according to the calculated inclination angle alpha;
and a third stage, expanding the flight:
after the adjustment flight is finished, the airplane enters an extended flight stage, and the extended radius r is firstly calculated according to a linear increasing rate xi in a program loop:
r=χ+ξdt
wherein χ is an initial radius, dt is a cycle period of the program;
then, calculating an additional inclination angle beta according to the current ground speed V, the gravity acceleration g and the expansion radius r of the airplane:
