Abstract

A method for determining the values of the attitude angles of an aerial vehicle (AV) is considered. For the proposed method, the initial data are the values of overloads in the body-fixed coordinate system and velocity projections in the Earth’s normal coordinate system. It is proposed, using the approaches of direct methods for finding the optimal control, to parametrize the pitch, roll, and yaw angles, and then find the values of the parameters based on the initial data. The resulting optimization problem can be solved using a population algorithm.
