Abstract
With the improvement of the aircraft flight performance and development of computing science, uninhabited combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) could accomplish more complex tasks. But this also put forward stricter requirements for the flight control system, which are the crucial issues of the whole UCAV system design. This paper proposes a novel UCAV flight controller parameters identification method, which is based on predator-prey particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A series of comparative experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed approach in this paper, and a predator-prey PSO-based software platform for UCAV controller design is also developed.
