Abstract

The paper discusses state observability enhancement in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) rendezvous engagement. The problem is analyzed in a leader-follower framework wherein, the follower uses a deviated pursuit guidance law for rendezvous with the maneuvering leader. It is assumed that the only information available to the follower is the relative bearing of the leader. Sufficient conditions for state observability with bearing information are derived. Based on the derived conditions, prospective leader maneuvers enhancing state observability are explored. Numerical simulations present preliminary results on state observability enhancement for different leader maneuvers characterized by the choice of look-ahead angle.
