Abstract
A method and system for controlling a propulsion system of a vehicle. The propulsion system includes at least one propulsion effector. The system also includes sensors for sensing vehicle position and motions, a control device for generating control signals, and a generator for generating desired vehicle forces/moments from the sensed vehicle position and motions and the generated control signals based on predefined vehicle compensation and control laws. Also included is a neural network controller for generating propulsion commands for the at least one propulsion effector based on the generated desire forces/moments, wherein said neural network controller was trained based on pregenerated vehicle control distribution data.
