高空长航时太阳能无人机(HALE-SUAV)通过合理的航迹规划可以极大提升其续航性能,而深度强化学习方法由于实时性与自适应性成为该航迹规划问题的理想选择。针对基于深度强化学习方法的HALE-SUAV航迹规划问题,建立了无人机的运动学与动力学模型以及能量相关模型,设计了其能量管理策略,搭建了该航迹规划问题的深度强化学习整体框架,并最终使用训练出来的模型进行了不同太阳能辐射强度情况下的航迹规划实验。研究结果表示基于所提的深度强化学习方法,HALE-SUAV能够选择基于当前太阳能辐射强度情况下合理的控制指令,以提高其续航性能。研究结果显示了深度强化学习方法在HALE-SUAV航迹规划问题的潜在应用价值。

High Altitude Long Endurance Solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (HALE-SUAV) can significantly enhance the endurance performance through well-designed trajectory planning. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods are ideal for this trajectory planning problem due to their real-time performance and adaptability. To address the HALE-SUAV trajectory planning problem based on DRL, this paper establishes the kinematics and dynamics models of the UAV, along with energy-related models, designs its energy management strategy, constructs the overall DRL framework for this trajectory planning problem, and ultimately conducts trajectory planning experiments under different solar radiation intensities using the trained model. The research results indicate that, based on the DRL method proposed in this paper, HALE-SUAVs can select reasonable control commands based on current solar radiation intensities to improve their endurance performance. The findings demonstrate the potential application value of DRL methods in HALE-SUAV trajectory planning problems.
