Abstract
In this article, we develop a novel composite adaptive control system for the dive-plane maneuvers and parameter identification of a multi-input multi-output submarine model. The composite adaptive control system consists of (1) an input–output feedback linearizing control law and (2) an identifier formed by gradient algorithm-based two-parameter estimation laws. Unlike the existing adaptive systems for autonomous underwater vehicles and submarines, a novelty of this composite identifier lies in the use of regressor matrix integral feedback for enhancement in parameter excitation. By the Lyapunov analysis, asymptotic convergence of the depth and pitch angle tracking errors is established. Simulation results show precise depth and pitch angle control, estimation of all model parameters, and robustness to random and sinusoidal disturbance inputs.
