Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a vast domain with variety of applications. This research proposes the use of AI for guidance of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to a maneuvering target. The AI agent is trained using machine learning algorithm. The PN guidance algorithm is used as a basis for training the agent. An orthogonal array based training strategy is proposed that provides a better training and reduced miss distance values. The AI based guidance provides performance equal to the PN Guidance law and in some cases it outperforms PN guidance law. © 2013 IEEE.

Artificial Intelligence learning based on proportional navigation guidance

2013 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI)

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a new guidance scheme for aerial vehicles based on artificial intelligence. The new guidance scheme must be able to intercept maneuvering targets with higher probability and precision compared to existing algorithms. Design/methodology/approach: A simulation setup of the aerial vehicle guidance problem is developed. A model-based machine learning technique known as Q-learning is used to develop a new guidance scheme. Several simulation experiments are conducted to train the new guidance scheme. Orthogonal arrays are used to define the training experiments to achieve faster convergence. A well-known guidance scheme known as proportional navigation guidance (PNG) is used as a base model for training. The new guidance scheme is compared for performance against standard guidance schemes like PNG and augmented proportional navigation guidance schemes in presence of sensor noise and computational delays. Findings: A new guidance scheme for aerial vehicles is developed using Q-learning technique. This new guidance scheme has better miss distances and probability of intercept compared to standard guidance schemes. Research limitations/implications: The research uses simulation models to develop the new guidance scheme. The new guidance scheme is also evaluated in the simulation environment. The new guidance scheme performs better than standard existing guidance schemes. Practical implications: The new guidance scheme can be used in various aerial guidance applications to reach a dynamically moving target in three-dimensional space. Originality/value: The research paper proposes a completely new guidance scheme based on Q-learning whose performance is better than standard guidance schemes. © 2016, © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Artificial Intelligence guidance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in three dimensional space

Design of Experiments (DOE) is a mathematical methodology employed for information gathering and inference. This research uses the Design of Experiments methodology to analyze the worst case scenario for guiding the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to a maneuverable target by an UAV. Using a minimal set of simulations the DOE provides the worst case target tracking scenario against the results obtained with several simulations. © 2013 IEEE.
