Abstract
This paper presents the analytical methodology and initial numerical simulation results for autonomous neural control of the Ultra-Lightweight Imaging Technology Experiment (UltraLITE) Phase I test article. The UltraLITE Phase I test article is a precision deployable structure currently under development at the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Its purpose is to examine control and hardware integration issues related to large deployable sparse optical array spacecraft systems. In this paper, a multi-stage control architecture is examined which incorporates artificial neural networks for model inversion tracking control. The emphasis in the control design approach is to exploit the known nonlinear dynamics of the system in the synthesis of a model inversion tracking controller and to augment the nonlinear controller with an adaptive neuro-controller to accommodate for changing dynamics, failures, and model uncertainties.
