Aerial Recovery Concept Demo (Gauss's Principle)
The towing vehicle (mothership) is commanded to follow a circular orbit that results a circular orbit of the towed body (drogue) with smaller radius and lower velocity relative to the mothership. The miniature aerial vehicle (MAV), which is to be retrieved, is regulated to follow the drogue orbit and to approach the drogue with a relatively low airspeed. After the MAV dock on the drogue, the towed cable and bodies (both drogue and MAV) are reeled into the mothership to complete the aerial recovery.
In this demo, Gauss’s Principle is used to derive the dynamic model of the cable-drogue system. The MAV uses missile guidance strategies to intercept the drogue.
