Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Nonlinear Receding‐Horizon Differential Game for Drone Racing Along a Three‐Dimensional Path

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone racing requires high‐speed navigation through three‐dimensional paths, posing significant challenges in control engineering. Existing control methods lack a feedback control framework that simultaneously addresses nonlinear drone dynamics and multi‐agent competitive interactions, such as overtaking or obstructing opponents.

Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...
