Abstract

This paper presents a novel and efficient method for autopilot design by integrating the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) technique. In the proposed hybrid PSO-SQP algorithm, PSO algorithm is the basic optimizer and the SQP technique is used to reduce computation time and to improve convergence performance. Also, the proposed hybrid PSO-SQP algorithm is applied to autopilot design for a transport aircraft and an air-to-air missile. In view of autopilot design, we note that the proposed design method has further flexibility and control performance than classical method.
